The Train the Trainer: Training Techniques workshop is designed to take IATSE workers who are experts in their craft who are or will be training at their local and teaches them education and training techniques to improve their presentation and sharpen their skills as teachers.
The two-day training covers effective teaching techniques, learning styles, training design, and lesson planning for new safety and craft skills trainers while providing new training techniques to existing trainers. This is a training with something for everyone that is accessible and applicable to all crafts and trainers—new and experienced—with ample time for practice. It is a rigorous, information-packed, and rewarding two days where participants can learn, work, and network with new and existing IATSE worker-trainers from around the US and Canada.
Who is it for?
