If you are involved in measuring the effectiveness of
management training and development, this might be of interest. The U.S.
Department of Energy (DOE) and Westinghouse are making TRANS-MEASURE, a
transfer of training measurement and improvement tool, available to U.S.
educational institutions, businesses, consultants, government agencies,
non-profit organizations, and individual citizens at no-cost to recipients
through a federal sharing program. TRANS-MEASURE provides organizations
with the following information for their training courses:
+ Transfer of Training Rate -- the percentage of skills
successfully transferred from the learning setting to the job.
+ Prior Knowledge Rate -- the percentage of skills that
trainees already knew how to perform before taking the training.
+ "Didn't Stick" Rate -- the percentage of skills presented
in a training course that the trainee cannot perform six months after
training.
+ Value-Added Rating -- the amount of skills critical to
the success of the organization learned during the training and performed
frequently on the job.
TRANS-MEASURE is an streamlined, user-friendly offspring of
the Westinghouse-developed Transfer of Training Evaluation Model. This is a
complete, turnkey package that can be administered by nearly every type of
organization with no modification necessary. To obtain TRANS-MEASURE at no
cost, fill out an application at the DOE/Westinghouse technology transfer
website:
http://www.t2ed.com
After we process your application (usually in one working
day or less), we will send you an ID and password allowing you to download
TRANS-MEASURE directly from our website to your computer in your choice of
word processing formats. Then, you can use it for commercial, internal, or
educational purposes. Over 200,000 pages of other analysis tools, training
courses, and guides are available at no cost through the site.
