Personnel Training and Qualification

DOE-STD-1051-93

3.3.5 Pers onnel Training and Qualification

Formal training and qualification programs should be implemented to develop and

improve the knowledge and skills necessary to perform assigned functions.

Programs for initial and continuing training should be based on identified needs.

Plans should be implemented to achieve and maintain accreditation of key training

programs. Training programs should include provisions for sy stematic evaluation of

training effectiveness and for using feedback from job performance to refine

programs.

3.3.6 Management and Professional D evelopment

Management and professional development measures should be implemented to

ensure the maintenance division is manned by highly capable and experienced

individuals with a broad background and perspective in plant operations. Such

measures should be directed at enhancing the managerial and technical skills of

maintenance division personnel and should normally include training in managerial

and supervisory skills, written and oral communications, and specialized technical

subjects. The unique needs for each level of management and for each individual

should be considered in the management development program.

Management development activities should prepare a pool of selected individuals

for designated line management positions. An assessment should be made of

maintenance management needs, and key line management positions should be

defined. Job prerequisites, including necessary training, experience, professional

certifications, and skills development, should be defined. Criteria should be

established for the selection of personnel to participate in management development

activities. The training and job rotation assignments that constitute management

development activities should be defined and communicated to participating

personnel. Available resources should be adequate to support the training and career

broadening assignments necessary for development of selected personnel.

A goal of the management development effort should be to have qualified

personnel in the maintenance organization ready to be promoted (or with the

potential to be promoted) to the next level of management.
