Making Training Transfer Stick

Discover how to get learners to apply what they have

learned to their work environment!

Training Transfer seems to be the Holy Grail of training, trainees effectively and continually applying their newly acquired skills.  Transfer of training is often measured by Kirkpatrick's Level 3 Evaluation.  A Level 3 measures new or changed behavior and performance back on the job.

Many organizations have employees who may have learned something but never apply it….but why? In the session, we will discuss the variables that affect training transfer by focusing on the status of the employee’s Willingness and Ability. Dr. Kopp also introduces us to specific frameworks such as the Zone of Proximal Development and FLOW that can also help “make transfer stick.”

In this interactive session, participants will:   

• Explore the variables that influence training transfer      
• Learn the concept of FLOW
• Be introduced to the application of the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD)
