The Great Training Robbery

Abstract

There are several reasons why most organizations will engage in both selection and training, even though the objective of the two is identical. For example, it is generally very difficult to achieve a highly skilled work force using just one of the procedures. All DoD elements use both procedures. However, by not going one step further and training employees to enable them to approach their jobs from a common organizational frame of reference, the organization has, in effect, robbed itself of valuable personnel and training resources. To prevent this, an innovative approach to training has enabled two DoD human factors organizations to increase their return for the training dollar and avoid the great training robbery.
