Finish With a Bang!
Now that you've conducted the training, it's time to wrap things up. Depending on the length of the training session, wrapping up can take as little as fifteen minutes or over an hour. Let's take a look at the steps to finish up the training.
Finishing Steps
- What? Review what's been achieved during the training.
- So what? Restate why it's important. Have participants take stock. Ask them to share what's been most imporant to them.
- What now? Talk about how they can apply what they've learned to their work.
- What's next? Discuss what they can do to further their learning. Remind them about any follow-up or feedback actions after training is completed.
- Loose Ends. Finish up with any issues that may have been "parked" (set aside) during the training.
- Evaluate. Give participants time to complete the training evaluation form.
- Celebrate. Thank everyone!
- Say goodbye. See you next time. Drive safely!
- Reflect. Take time to write down changes, improvements, thoughts.
