  Applying Smart Standards to Your Training Systems

  Moderated By: Montez King

  Executive Director, NIMS

  
  Often, training systems will emerge through workforce development initiatives that are promoted as the “Gold Seal” for training. However, shops that work to adopt these models usually continue to struggle with training. The issue is that training methods are not the same for each organization, as each organization’s circumstances are different. This is why the outcomes of training vary from one organization to the next, even when adopting the same system. The overarching reality is … success is when shops empower themselves and analyze their training needs based on operational needs for peak productivity. Learn about NIMS’s new innovative framework, Smart Training Solutions, and how you can modernize your training to keep up with ever-changing technological, workplace, and economic environments
