    (Mountain Time) This briefing explains the philosophy behind, and development/implementation of, structured on-the-job training; how any employer can benefit from the PROTECH© system of human resource development in more than just the training area. This model provides the lacking support employers, who want to be able to easily and cost-effectively create the workers they require right now, need. Program supports ISO/AS/IATF compliance requirements for “knowledge(expertise)” capture, and process-based training and record keeping.  Approx 45 minutes.

    (Mountain Time) The philosophy behind, and development/implementation of, structured on-the-job training; how any employer can benefit from the PROTECH© system of managed human resource development in more that just the training area; building related technical instruction/structured on-the-job training partnerships for employers across all industries one-by-one. How this can become a cost-effective, cost-efficient and highly credible workforce development strategy – easy scale up by just plugging each new employer into the system. When partnering with economic development agencies, and public and private career and technical colleges and universities for the related technical instruction, this provides the most productive use of available grant funds and gives employers-employees/trainees and the project partners the biggest win for all. This model provides the support sorely needed by employers who want to partner in the development of the workforce but too often feel the efforts will not improve the workforce they need. Approx. 45 minutes

    The Crash of 2008 and the Covid-19 Pandemic have caused disruptions to not just businesses, but the entire economy. Changes in company ownership can change in business strategy and training project support. During these disruptions, several Proactive Technologies projects were set-up for employers and ready to implement, or implementation started but paused temporarily, some indefinitely, as internal project knowledge and advocacy dissipated. Employee and management contacts were either laid-off, reassigned or retired. The significant value of what was established remains and Proactive Technologies saved each company’s data set up that point. Here is a chance to discover what was established, where we left off and what it would take to restart the program. The philosophy behind, and development/implementation of, structured on-the-job training; the many benefits from the PROTECH® © system of managed human resource development in more than just the training area; examples of projects with manufacturing and manufacturing support companies (aerospace, Tier-1 and 2 automobile suppliers, chemical companies, facilities maintenance companies, rubber/polymer manufacturers); compliance support provided by the system for ISO/AS/IATF and Nadcap quality programs as well as OSHA safety requirements; and how many structured on-the-job training programs were, or can be, unregistered apprenticeships or registered as apprenticeships.

    (Mountain Time) The philosophy behind, and development/implementation of, structured on-the-job training; how any employer can benefit from the PROTECH® © system of managed human resource development in more that just the training area; building related technical instruction/structured on-the-job training programs and supporting them for employers across all industries. ISO/AS/IATF, Nadacp and similar quality programs have a requirement that: standardize work processes guide quality, auditable task performance; training matches the process; training is documented for each worker; and a system is in place to ensure all are up to date and in sync. This program supports ISO/AS/IATF and Nadcap compliance requirements for “knowledge(expertise)” capture. In addition to hiring, structured on-the-job training and performance evaluation instruments, PROTECH produces reports such as Technical Document (best practice for each task), Qualification/ Certification Checklists and more. One-revision updates all materials! Efforts like Lean, Kaisen, continuous improvement strategies all can render a lesser model obsolete and non-compliant in a few months. This model provides the lacking support needed to employers who want to easily and cost-effectively establish and maintain compliance. Approx. 45 minutes

This approach uses the “accelerated transfer of expertise™” to quickly and completely train each incumbent worker to full job mastery. When change settles and growth returns, new-hires can be quickly developed to full job mastery to support expansion and cross-training of each worker conducted and controlled. Program supports ISO/AS/IATF and Nadcap compliance requirements for “knowledge(expertise)” capture, and process-based training and record keeping. Approx. 45 minutes

    (Mountain Time) The philosophy behind, and development/implementation of, structured on-the-job training; the many benefits the employer can realize from the PROTECH© system of managed human resource development in more than just the training area; examples of projects across all industries, including manufacturing and manufacturing support companies. Program supports ISO/AS/IATF and Nadcap compliance requirements for “knowledge(expertise)” capture, and process-based training and record keeping. When combined with related technical instruction, this approach has been easily registered as an apprenticeship-focusing the structured on-the-job training on exactly what are the required tasks of the job. Registered or not, this approach is the most effective way to train workers to full capacity in the shortest amount of time –cutting internal costs of training while increasing worker capacity, productivity, work quality and quantity, and compliance.  Approx 45 minutes.
