Maintenance and Technical Training in the Digital Age
How online cloud-based simulations help close essential technical skill gaps
There are many paths, but one goal: reaching every learner where they are. People have different learning styles and respond differently to training approaches. This is especially true in today's industrial settings, where workers typically come from a wide variety of cultural, social, economic, and educational backgrounds. To maximize the effectiveness of your training programs, it's important to match the training styles you employ to the learning styles of your employees.
In the past, traditional, instructor-led training provided the basis for technical skills training. While this provided students with a fundamental base of knowledge, it didn't provide a mechanism for technicians to practice and demonstrate their newly gained skills in a safe, non-disruptive environment. That's why more and more organizations these days are moving toward a combination of flexible online and simulation-based training as a supplement to training led live by expert instructors.
On-demand online training modules enable technicians to gain the needed skills at their own pace and when it works best for the company.
Immersive cloud-based troubleshooting scenarios and exercises, in turn, enhance the overall learning and skills development process, increase retention levels, and make the training more relevant for the new generation of technicians.
Simulations also provide a way for your technicians to demonstrate their improved troubleshooting skills in a safe and non-intrusive environment.
Flexible, cloud-based digital training tools provide a practical option for individuals looking to supplement or progress beyond instructor-led training and track their progress.
