OVERVIEW
For persons whose teaching responsibilities are primarily in a one-on-one environment
Managers, mentors, and experienced performers are often in the position of providing one on one instruction to a subordinate or less experienced colleague. This may also occur as a component of a formal or informal OJT program. This workshop provides the tools and techniques to cause learning and retention in a one on one instructional environment.
