Types of Training and Development Activity Sample Clauses

Types of Training and Development Activity. There are many different types of activity that contribute to an individual's personal development, and colleagues are encouraged to consider the range of opportunities available to them. Some activities are undertaken with the specific aim of enhancing skills and/or imparting information. Examples of these include attending a workshop or training course, reading, work-shadowing and mentoring; Other activities offering the potential for development may arise in the course of normal work activity. Examples of these include being involved in a secondment or project where the individual acquires new skills or knowledge or discussing how to deal with a particular problem with a colleague. In these situations, learning is far greater where the opportunity is identified in advance, with attention drawn to identifying the generic skills or general principles and considering how they may be applied in other similar situations. Further examples of the type of activities that may be considered developmental are given in Appendix 1a: Types of Activities that may be Considered Developmental, including both those designed or intended for that purpose and those which are integrated with normal work activities.
