There are many circumstances where it’s more effective for employees to learn as they work rather than in a classroom or through eLearning. Whether the skills are best acquired through hands-on practice, time constraints make formal training impractical, or ongoing support is needed to reinforce learning, on-the-job training can be a powerful solution—but only when done correctly.
This session explores research-backed methods for training employees in the flow of work, from structured approaches like apprenticeships and guided practice to more flexible strategies like coaching, peer learning, and performance support tools. You’ll learn how to integrate just-in-time learning, stretch assignments, and feedback loops to help employees develop skills while staying productive. Whether you’re designing formal on-the-job training programs or looking to improve informal workplace learning, this session will provide practical strategies to make training more effective—right where the work happens.
