Gather Information for Review by the Facilitator

DOE-HDBK-1086-95

4.6.6

Gather Information for Review by the Facilitator. Job information should be

gathered and sent to the facilitator at least 20-30 days prior to the process.

The facilitator will use this information to prepare real-life examples for use

during the process and to understand the content of the training program.

Having this information will greatly improve the facilitator's ability to help the

team progress through each step.

Send to the Facilitator:

The title of the job position/program being designed

A brief job description (job posting)

A list of the existing entry-level requirements for the job including all selection

requirements (i.e., education, experience, and medical), all entry-level knowledge

and skills, and all entry-level training (i.e., facility- and site-specific training,

training driven by requirements, etc.)

The valid list of tasks selected for training

The procedures that describe the tasks involved in the job

A description of what training and evaluations are already in place (e.g., 80-hour

fundamentals class, followed by OJT, followed by job performance measures,

etc.)

Any regulatory requirements that suggest content of the training program (DOE

Orders, Guides, Rad Con Manual, etc.)

Roles of the Participants. The "team" consists of the SMEs, supervisor,

4.6.7

safety analyst, and training personnel responsible for developing the training

materials. The role of the SMEs, supervisor, and safety analyst is to use their

technical expertise to identify what knowledge and skills should be taught in

the training program. The role of the trainers during the process is to help

facilitate the process, provide training strategy suggestions, and document the

results. After the process, the trainers will be responsible for completing any

training design steps that may not be finished during the session, and will use

the results to develop training materials. This completes the "design" phase

of a systematic approach to training, and the trainers will be responsible for

beginning the "development" phase.

The "observers" may consist of other training staff and procedure writers.

The role of these trainers will be primarily to observe, but they will have an

opportunity to help facilitate portions of the process. The role of the

procedure writers is to observe and take notes of any changes required to job-

related procedures. The observers may NOT contribute technical input during

this process or attempt to sway the decisions of the team members.

Developing a Schedule of Events and Activities. A number of specific

4.6.8

activities must be planned and carried out in advance of the session by the

staff and coordinator. A schedule of activities from ninety days prior to the
