It is expected that trainees will make a personal commitment
to get the most out of the training opportunities made available to them
by their company. In this context the Training is aimed at trainees learning
about (his or her) chosen profession, where learning is the acquisition
of knowledge or a skill (in a subject) by:-
| (a) |
Behave in a manner befitting a potential Professional
Engineer.
|
| (b) |
Have a positive and good attitude towards the
company providing the training; to all levels of its staff; to their
colleagues; and to their 'work'.
|
| (c) |
Be part of the productive process within the
framework of being trained.
|
| (d) |
Use their intellectual and analytical abilities
to further their professional development.
|
| (e) |
Demonstrate initiative and drive in a quest to
learn from their training. In this, accept that in the industrial
environment (so different form the academic life) the effort required
to acquire knowledge or a skill will be largely self-motivated.
|
| (f) |
Develop their powers of communication, decision
making and leadership and social behaviour and opinions.
|
| (g) |
Identify how they can complement their formal
training by self-help.
|
| (h) |
Help develop their initiative and their innovative
skills.
|
| (i) |
Be able to retrieve and use relevant information.
|
| (j) |
Use their diagnostic skills to identify problems
and offer possible solutions.
|
| (k) |
To develop a natural inquisitive sense and 'question'
'why' and 'how' things are done, with the aim of improving procedures
and thus productivity!
|
In the final analysis the success of the training,
with respect to the calibre of the 'product', is considered to rest very
largely on the interest, enthusiasm, attitude, self-motivation and curiosity
of the trainees themselves.
