Unit 9 – Section C
There are many training programmes that teachers can do within the college in order to gain more knowledge or qualifications to do their job to a better standard. The teachers have to be trained in order to do their teaching effectively people have to learn in order to develop.
In the college there is a human resources department and they should have a large responsibility of training and development. The college should make sure that the employees are trained to their full potential in the college and are used in the most productive way, this can benefit both the college and the employees however training and development also have an impact on staff motivation and turnover.
There are different training methods such as induction training, on the job training and off the job training. All the different methods have a range of techniques that are used.
Induction training can be one of the most important steps that the college do in the training process. Mathew Boulton College get the employees in the college to familiarise them with the organisation. With the employees doing this they may become more comfortable with the college and may settle in and become more productive.
The other type of training is on the job training which the college have or should adopt. This is where a inexperienced employee can watch another member of staff with more experience do the job so that they can learn from them then the employee can put into practice what she or he as learned. Mentoring schemes match an experienced with a less experienced employee so that they are more experienced. The mentor can act as an advisor and guide the trainee.
