How we design our learning resources
We understand that people learn best by doing and through practice, this is why we use the 70-20-10 principles to design our learning resources.
ON the job learning
70% on the job – Learning happens through practice, experience and even making mistakes.
- Doing the job
- Job shadowing
- Serving customers
- Making mistakes
Social Learning
20% through interacting with others – Learning from colleagues, suppliers, trainers and managers.
- Team Meetings
- Staff briefings
- Supplier training/ demonstrations
- Industry events
Formal Learning
10% through formal learning – Learning through bookwork, online, face to face and team meetings.
- Face to face training
- eLearning courses
- Instructional Videos
- Workbooks
- Industry Publications
But did you know….. Your team will forget as much as 80% of what they have learned in less than 48 hours. If you don’t provide an effective learning environment for them to practice, refine and then apply their learning on the job.
