  Employee Orientation (Onboarding)
• A training method that breaks down tasks into step-by-step instructions, facilitating skill acquisition through repetition and practice

  Job Instruction
• A training approach where a skilled employee (coach) guides a less experienced employee (understudy) by providing on-the-job guidance, feedback, and support

  Coaching (Understudy Method)
• An informal approach where a more experienced colleague (buddy) mentors a new employee, helping them learn through observation, questions, and hands-on experience.


  Informal Learning (The Buddy System)
• A training strategy where employees work on real projects, solving actual organizational problems while learning and developing skills in a collaborative environment

  Project Teams (Action Learning)
• A formal relationship where an experienced professional (mentor) guides and advises a less experienced individual (mentee) to develop skills, knowledge, and career growth

  Mentoring
• A long-term training method where an individual learns a trade or skill under the guidance of a skilled practitioner, often involving a combination of on-the-job training and classroom instruction

  Apprenticeship
• Training activities that simulate business scenarios, allowing participants to make decisions, solve problems, and learn from the outcomes in a risk-free environment

  Business (Management) Games
• • In-depth examinations of real or hypothetical situations, encouraging participants to analyze problems, make decisions, and apply theoretical knowledge to practical contexts

  Case Studies
• An interactive approach where participants discuss real or hypothetical situations, allowing them to exchange ideas, perspectives, and solutions in a group setting.

  Discussion Method (Incident Method)
• Participants handle a set of simulated tasks, emails, and documents similar to what they would encounter in their job, testing their organizational and prioritization skills.

  In-basket Exercises
• An experiential learning method that focuses on interpersonal skills development through group interactions and feedback, enhancing self-awareness and communication.

  Sensitivity Training (T-groups)
• A traditional teaching method where an instructor imparts information to participants, often used to deliver theoretical knowledge and concepts.

  Lecture
• Selfpaced learning through instructional materials that present information progressively, allowing learners to absorb content and complete exercises at their own pace

  Programmed Instruction (Auto Instructional Techniques)
• Participants assume specific roles and act out scenarios to practice communication, problem-solving, and interpersonal skills in a controlled environment.

  Role Playing
• Demonstrating desired behaviors through live or recorded examples, encouraging participants to replicate these behaviors in their own contexts.

  Behavioral Modeling
• Providing a controlled environment that closely simulates the actual work setting, allowing participants to practice tasks and procedures without real-world consequences

  Vestibules/Simulators
• Traveling to or staying in a territory outside of a head office where the organization operates, has a branch, station, or special interest in:

  Field Exposure
• Participating in meetings and for a relevant to the organization or to the role, for updates and networking
