How do you meet your competency/capacity goals? How do you meet your training goals? Use Force. You have to. Make the training as applicable and consumable as possible - and then force it. |

It is a HUGE ask to get 12 students and an instructor together for a three or four day training session. Even with no travel and no training costs, managers see almost 400 hours and over $75000 unbilled.
Assuming the time and money is committed, what about scheduling? "Deadline in danger of not being met" is a continuous training bumper.
Consumable (a few hours) self-training is available - it has been for over a decade. And, yet, it is not consumed. Why?
It's hard to identify the appropriate training (the signal to noise ratio is very small).
No Deadline gets bumped by any Deadline.
So: assign a deadline and track compliance.
Consider required HR videos. What is the compliance on those? 100% Why? Because you a get a bunch of emails until you boss gets involved. You comply. You're forced to.
Do the same with your Engineering training.
If you use Bentley, you have learning.bentley.com. It has adminstrative and reporting capabilities.
Third party Learning Management Systems (LMS) such as Pinnacle by Eagle Point host content (including your custom content) have sophisticated adminstrative functions for your to design curricula, assign courses and learning plans and ensure compliance.
Just like Quality: don't leave Training to chance. Ensure it.
