You have agreed with upper management to provide a "Train and Coach the Trainers" element for your new HRD program. Discuss what issues you will need to be concerned with in order to effectively and efficiently train and coach the trainers. Discuss issues that may arise pertaining to such things as: "peer training", "coaching", and "mentoring." How can you ensure motivation connected with the training topic? How can you ensure "Transfer of Training"? Suggest follow up training topics which may help to ensure trainees remain up-to-date in their abilities and skills connected with the topic.

Coaching is a sure way to strengthen the communication between the staff and their employees. This helps to outline performance, thus increasing the chances of the employee’s performance actions to meet the desired expectations. To effectively train and coach the trainers, a number of issues have to be observed. Informing the trainees the subject to be covered in the training session, including a brief highlight of the subject to be covered is one of the concerns. Ensuring that there is demonstration of procedures and a relation of all the relevant information that trainees need to know ensures effectiveness of the session. Testing and giving quizzes also facilitates training, the trainees will be keen and as a result give back valuable information as a matter of giving contribution to the topic. Involving the trainees in such activities as interactive questioning to let them share their knowledge is also a way of ensuring effectiveness and efficiency of the session. Analyzing the session as training proceeds gives you a view of what works out best, thus a way of promoting effectiveness. Finally, keeping the session on track is very vital. Make sure to keep time as scheduled to avoid inconveniences, be part of the group and involve them in one to one conversations having frequent breaks throughout the session.

With such issues as “peer training”, coaching and mentoring, a more informed and interactive staff is brought up which have all the necessary technical skills, interpersonal skills and also self-developmental skills.

 To ensure mentoring in relation to the training topic, the trainer should remain very clear and to the point throughout the training session. Engaging the audience through such activities as discussion forums in which they are given a chance to contribute motivates them as they feel a part of the program.
