The Importance of an Educated Worker

The Importance of A Skilled and Educated Employee

There is somewhat of an epidemic happening within the American workforce at this very moment. The dying breed: a highly skilled and properly trained employee of the manufacturing industry.* More and more employees in the United States manufacturing workforce are trained at a minimal level, leaving but a mere number of (close to) retiree-aged employees to fully understand and operate the equipment.

The issue of hiring and properly training educated individuals goes much deeper than a company or industry needing products to be made a certain way. If the number of skilled workers remains at a critically minimal level, it will hinder the U.S.’ ability to compete in a global economy. As the U.S. is somewhat of a hub for many, many different types of resources, importing/exporting of goods, etc., the issue will grow to a global scale.

The catastrophic dwindling of yesteryear’s ideal employee has become much more of a reality as time has passed. In 2010, 8,000 NAM ( National Association of Manufacturers) members conducted a survey in order to determine just how greatly the number of skilled workers has decreased. Partial reason (as to the lack of skill among workers) can be pinpointed to the 50% of current students dropping out of school. Studies have shown that only one-third of graduating students can perform at a senior high school education level, indicating the quality (or lack thereof) that the workforce will consist of in the coming decades.

Fortunately, there is still time to turn this issue around. There have been tools created in order to prevent a global panic. One of those tools is Training Within Industry. Organizations must change and think more creatively and be more innovative in regards to their morale, management and training programs. If companies choose to start from within and grow externally from there, then they will solve a lot of problems before they become problems. 

Educated workers are the key to America's success and the key to preventing a global problem. TWI Training Solutions insures that workers are armed with the tools and education they need to do their jobs properly, effectively and efficiently. This makes for a win-win situation for businesses and their employees. Learn more by contacting our team.

TWI Training Solutions is the Teachers of Teachers

TWI helps teach how to get ready to instruct. Yes, teachers must be instructed on how to teach. Those who train need instructions on how to train others so that they can easily learn and retain the necessary info in order to get the job done right.

To instruct a job, it's necessary to know four things:

Break down the job

Prepare everything

Making a training timetable

Get the workplace ready

To break down a job, make a list with detailed steps of the job and list the main points in each of those steps. It's important to go through the task in your mind so that you're sure that you are teaching other employees correctly. 

Preparing everything means you have all the right tools, equipment, materials, tools, and supplies needed to complete the job. Using the wrong tools, hodgepodge materials, or forget something, sets a low standard for the person (or people) completing the task. Also, you risk undermining the authority as a supervisor. 

Your job as a supervisor or manager is to teach and train others. You want them to learn how to perform their jobs and responsibilities correctly. From the start is the best way to learn how to get something completed. In order to do this, you as the instructor or teacher, must do the best job possible in order to train. With the help of TWI, the Teachers of Teachers, we can help you and your business prepare to instruct and to train in the most common sense effective way.

TWI Training Methods

TWI Training methods

What makes TWI different from other training methods?

Maybe you're familiar with the term Training Within Industry and are starting to understand a little about what exactly TWI Solutions does but you still have questions as to what makes TWI better than other industry training programs.

You may know that TWI was developed during WWII with the help of the best from government, private industry, and academia but the ideas that went into  the program are profoundly simple and easy to understand and highly effective. The Training Within Industry program was created with a sense of urgency because of the constraints of WWII with the war being referred to in the TWI report as 'an emergency'.

The developers of TWI came up with four essential requirements to turn the three facets of TWI (existing knowledge, new ideas, and thorough testing) into workable programs.

The four essential requirements were as follows:

1. The programs must be simple

2. The programs must be prepared using a minimum amount of presentation time

3. The programs must be built on the principle of demonstration or "learning by doing"

4. The program should provide a "multiplier effect" so that a group of employees who have been trained can also, in turn, train other employees.

These ideas laid out the basic foundation for the TWI program and resulted in a basic yet condensed training program without the the use of extraneous text or training. Every aspect of the program was developed to train workers effectively and efficiently. 

These methods work for every industry, including yours! Blue collar or white collar, the program will result in improvements anywhere that someone does a job. This means that you can achieve the same cost efficiency and productivity by implementing TWI Solutions. If you're tired of falling behind or maybe just not getting ahead. 

TWI Solutions is here to help you not only fight but to win your business battle.
