Improve Your Company’s Training to Accelerate Learning, Improve Retention
Do the individuals who are training your newer employees have the soft skills needed to communicate the information effectively?
The answer is often “no” because companies pick individuals to train others based on their technical knowledge – not their communication skills.
The NIMS® OJT Trainer Workshop can help your trainers take their skills to the next level. Designed for companies of all sizes, the workshop will teach your trainers:
A methodology for structuring traning
Communication best practices
A coaching continuum to help diverse adult learners advance their skills
The Workshop is an efficient six-session course spread over six weeks, designed to fit into busy schedules, that is ideal for new trainers and those with a few years of experience. The Workshop combines three inter-related elements:
Activities participants complete independently each week
Discussions led by a NIMS instructor: participants share experiences and ask questions
Practical: relevant assignments enabling trainees to apply the skills they are learning
By passing the evaluations at the end of the Workshop participants will earn an OJT Trainer certification. The certification process ensures that participants have demonstrated the skills presented in the Workshop.
This program is offered by The Ohio Manufacturers’ Association and is open to employees at manufacturing companies anywhere in Ohio.
Classes starting in March and April.
Cost: $1,495
Subsidies available for members of The Ohio Manufacturers’ Association and Industry Sector Partnerships.

For me coming from the factory floor into a training role, it helped me understand that you need a structure to make sure the trainee understands and retains what you’re trying to give to them. Everybody’s different.”
I enjoyed it and took a lot from it. I learned how adults like to learn and the importance of knowing your audience – it’s a lot different training a middleaged person versus a young person just out of high school.”
The content was great to teach and develop the “soft” skills needed for the training role.”
I learned a lot from it. With the videos we did I learned how to present myself better. The ondemand sections made it easy to fit the training into my busy schedule.”
The workshop qualifies trainers to a training standard and drives structure around learning objectives that include performance demonstrations to verify understanding.”
Our employee got a lot out of the program. He’s seeing things from a different angle now. I see him adaptijng to his trainees’ learning styles.”
Our training coordinator found it eye-opening to see some of the different ways to approach teaching because not everybody learns the same way.”
