To keep your workforce at the top of its form, you need to keep people trained and motivated— especially if jobs are changing in response to agency evolution or a more immediate change in focus or direction. Or maybe your workforce is retiring, and taking with it valued institutional knowledge. How do you preserve that knowledge so younger workers can benefit from the wisdom and experience of those who have gone before?
CIBER can help. Our lifecycle approach to training is designed to help you understand the training experiences your staff needs to achieve your objectives. We have a full set of skills to turn your training plans into reality. We begin by planning, whether by helping you build an entire curriculum or designing just one class. Our planning approach builds consensus and clarity, ensuring that all stakeholders understand objectives, cost trade-offs and timetables.
Training Alternatives
Our analysis phase doesn’t just translate skill-set needs into courses. We specialize in performance improvement, proactively seeking the best alternatives to meet your performance objectives. It may be that the best solution isn’t training, but a job aid, job restructuring, improved documentation, immersive learning, or an electronic performance support system to provide just-in-time information, advice, learning experiences, or a blend of these.
Innovative Designs
Classroom instruction may not always be the answer. We have an arsenal of media- based, award-winning delivery approaches, including instructor-led, Web-based, video-based and computer-based training. We mix and match components to arrive at a client-focused training design. As a CMMI Level III organization, we use process-driven methodologies to select the right blend of technologies to meet your learning objectives.
Development and Implementation
CIBER builds courseware, develops user and training guides, and uses pilot programs to refine and hone materials. We have in-house video and 3-D graphics teams, applying technology to make learning not only effective, but interesting and exciting, with just the right amount of fidelity. We use online polling devices to obtain student input and feedback in real time – letting instructors and students know how others are responding to the learning situation.
At CIBER, we don’t just build a curriculum: we create the infrastructure necessary for delivery. This includes everything from classroom build-out to the creation of a complete online learning environment. For a number of clients, we maintain these learning environments while providing all administrative and course management services necessary to equip classrooms, produce training materials, maintain archives, track intellectual property rights, register students, and track progress. We not only design and implement Webcasting, we provide call center support during delivery as well as Help Desk response for online courses.
Evaluation
We design, develop, and implement quizzes, comprehension checks, online polling and formal multi-level course evaluations – all designed to identify when, where, and how learning has taken place. We make full use of Web-based surveys to make it easy to collect information and report to stakeholders.
Standards-Driven Design, Development, and Delivery
CIBER has experience in applying ISD principles in accordance with all military and civilian training standards. We make it a point to stay ahead of emerging requirements and dynamic industry standards, such as SCORM conformance and Section 508 compliance.
