Presentation Title
Developing Effective Company Training Programs

Presentation Synopsis
In today’s concrete construction industry, with the introduction of new codes and standards, high employee turnover, new material technologies, industry regulations, aging structures and a heightened safety focus, effective employee training programs are a paramount business function for all stakeholders within our industry.  This session provides insight on how to get the most out of training events, what makes an effective learning and development program, and some of the most successful ways to actively engage learners, making them more likely to retain and use the knowledge in their jobs.  Using examples of both successful and unsuccessful trainings, the talk will focus on how to achieve better results and return on investment from the training process.
