Train-the-Trainer Consulting

Jamie Resker, Practice Leader and Founder of Employee Performance Solutions, will work directly with your organization’s facilitators to share her knowledge, her philosophy, and training techniques and tools. Typically, the Train-the-Trainer begins with: (1) an online walk-through of the program, (2) followed by a classroom observation(s) with a debriefing, (3) and finally program teach-backs with coaching. Remote clients can participate in the train-the-trainer via a live web-based classroom experience. Jamie will work with you to create the most efficient way to provide Trainer Certification. We also provide one-on-one coaching to help training participants implement the best practices taught in our workshops.
