Support For Training Managers

Those who are responsible for supporting graduate engineers in their pursuit of a Professional qualification.

‘What if I train people and they leave; what if I don’t train people and they stay!!!’

The training manager role is a vital one and organisations can make significant performance jumps as graduate engineer’s up-skill and impact others. Equally, as engineers become more responsible for influencing profitability, then effective training can deliver bottom-line results. However, many training programmes suffer with some of the following issues:

Typical Training issues – Do you see the following in your organisation:

 

  • Poor pass rate compared to peer organisations
  • Graduate engineers, under a company sponsored Training Agreement, lacking motivation to complete tasks with regular occurrence.
  • Graduate engineers not initiating development activities or showing poor enthusiasm for company organised events
  • SCE/ DEs expressing dissatisfaction with their Engineers commitment or not expressing delight in what they are seeing/ learning from the experience
  • Causes can range from lack of clarity on requirements (Engineers and SCE/DEs), a perception of repetitive low value assignments, confusion over the purpose or goal of an activity, or a lack of ownership.
  • A vibrant development programme creates an infectious environment in which there are many winners. Unlocking this potential is the real goal.
