Assignment task: In-house training programs are learning opportunities developed by the organization in which they are used. An in-house training program is usually the second step in the training process and is often ongoing. In-house training programs can be training related to a specific job, such as using a particular kind of software. In a manufacturing setting, in-house training might include an employee learning how to use a particular type of machinery.
Many companies provide in-house training on various HR topics, meaning it does not always have to relate to a specific job. Some examples of in-house training include the following:
- Ethics training
- Sexual harassment training
- Multicultural training
- Communication training
- Management training
- Customer service training
- Operation of special equipment
- Training to do the job itself
- Basic skills training
You are the human resources director of training and development of a start-up organization. Discuss what should be considered when creating an in-house training program for onboarding new employees.
