Train the Trainer

VISIONS offers a process for the "Training of Trainers", which prepares participants to serve as internal resources to their organization. After completing an intensive program, participants will be ready to deliver a one or two day version of a VISIONS workshop specially designed for their organization.

Usually a group of 15-16 employees who are interested in becoming internal resources and trainers are selected so that they themselves represent a cross-section of the organization. Thus, as a part of the program wherein internal trainers get trained, a number of workshops are held for staff/employees of the organization.

The following steps are included in a Train the Trainer process:

• Train the Trainer Sessions, including
      1. a four-day intensive workshop on the VISIONS model
      2. a two-day workshop to prepare participants for the
          co-facilitation phase
      3. two days of supervision to prepare them to independently
          conduct the training, and
      4. one day of closure, feedback/evaluation and planning
           at the end of the project.
  
• Participant Observation Phase: Trainees observe VISIONS conduct
  the workshop developed for their organization. Generally three or
  four trainees observe each session until the whole group of trainees
  has had an observation opportunity;
• Co-facilitation Phase: Trainees co-lead the workshop with a
  VISIONS consultant.
• Observation/Supervision Phase: Trainee teams conduct the
  workshops themselves while two VISIONS consultants observe them
  for feedback and development purposes.
• Independent Training Phase: The remaining sessions are conducted
  by the new trainees.
• On-going Supervision: Periodic meeting are provided to the trainee
  group to assist with problem solving, on-going supervision, feedback
  and support.
