How do you take your training?
Do you prefer off-site,
instructor-led, immersion-style training or would you rather lunch and learn?
Do you like to be sequestered with your co-workers for half-day training
sessions in the office or would you rather learn online at the time (and place)
of your choosing? You want to read a book or watch a training video?
Training methods are as diverse
as the trainees themselves and this issue of AUGIWorld
breaks down the various forms of training, offers some pro and con, and
discusses sure-fire strategies that those in charge of training can employ for
maximum effect.
