Creative means of getting a result

What are the alternatives to formal training programmes?

Let’s look at some of the means of helping people to learn. These include:

• coaching by an expert
• coaching by a colleague
• project work
• work shadowing
• multi-skill development programmes
• open learning
• day release
• work rotation
• action learning groups
• mentoring.

The majority of these strategies can take place in the workplace, with the exception of day release, which entails attending a local college to learn the theory, whilst putting it into practice in the work place.
