The 5 Ws of CareerSteady workshops

When starting a new training program, there are a few things to consider:

WHO: CareerSteady workshops are designed for workers who work in positions that can expand into unconventional positions. The program encourages workers who work within structured, repetitive, task-oriented, company-process-driven positions to expand their capabilities into unstructured, complex, creativity-driven, project-oriented work. Job requirements need to be looked at closely, to make sure the employees who are being developed have enough flexibility and opportunity within their positions to allow for expansion. If there is not a good fit, changing job requirements might be an option. Since sales positions are almost always unconventional positions, sales teams are usually a good place to start.

WHEN: With 23 workshops, a weekly training would last roughly six months. If weekly meetings are already being conducted, CareerSteady workshops can be added to them without taking up a lot of time. Workshops can be completed together as a group, individually or individually with group discussions.

WHERE: CareerSteady workshops can be printed out, viewed through smart devices or presented on a big screen. They can take place remotely or in-house.
