Set Goals and Objectives

Do your goals and objectives for the training clearly identify what you want the employees to learn and be able to do as a result of the training?

Goals and objectives should be specific, realistic, measurable, and limited in scope (you should plan how long the training will take to accomplish your goals and objectives). A few selected examples of training goals may include:

OBJECTIVE:
Employees will recognize the symptoms of Heat Illness and be able to use our company's procedures to immediately report the symptoms.

OBJECTIVE:
Employees will be able to select the correct portable ladders for their work tasks and use the ladders safely.

OBJECTIVE:
Employees will learn the potential hazards of the production line machines they use and be able to work safely with the machines.
