We hope this tool helps employers plan and document learning for apprentices. Please let us know if the notebook helps you evaluate learning progress and how. We welcome your comments and suggestions to make this tool work better. This evaluation notebook provides a tool to list learning objectives, that is, what you expect apprentices to learn to document what apprentices actually learn while at work. Apprentices learn three kinds of skills or competencies.
Technical competencies enable apprentices to complete work tasks successfully.
Personal competencies are the individual characteristics that make apprentices good workers. Social competencies enable apprentices to participate in the work organization. The apprentice and current manager should keep the notebook in a place accessible to them and to the coaches within a department. The apprentice should bring the notebook to the next department , and review with the new manager and coaches their learning progress and new objectives for what will be learned next. Apprentices keep the notebook as part of their portfolio after completing their apprenticeship.
