I am currently in the process of working with a task force to review/create development opportunities for our librarians and other staff who conduct in-house training.
7 years ago some staff went through Train the Trainer and since then it has been purely self-directed learning and not required. We are looking to put together a workshop (with mentoring, online follow-up and continued skill development sessions) as a way for our trainers to stay up to date.
We have already conducted a staff learning survey and we will be interviewing our current trainers to see if they have any skill gaps that we can help with - and then we would like to use some self identified learning areas to build the structure of the workshop and then add in the techniques and resources.
Does anyone have a formal program, workshop, class or tutorials that you have your staff go through before they can train other staff?
