In today’s fast-paced world, traditional training methods often fail to meet the needs of modern workplaces. Employees are expected to adapt quickly, solve problems efficiently, and stay productive without spending hours in a classroom or wasting time searching for answers. That’s where Just-in-Time Training steps in, revolutionizing how we learn and perform.
What is Just-in-Time Training?
Just-in-Time Training delivers the information and skills employees need, exactly when they need them. Instead of front-loading knowledge that might not be used for weeks—or even months—this approach focuses on providing tools and resources in the moment.
Imagine being able to:
•Access a step-by-step guide on your mobile device while operating machinery
•Watch a quick how-to video before troubleshooting equipment
•Use augmented reality to visualize complex instructions right on the workpiece
This isn’t just a new way of training—it’s a smarter way to work.
Why Just-in-Time Training Matters
Employees retain more when they learn actively, and that’s exactly what Just-in-Time Training enables. Research shows we retain:
•50% of what we see and hear
•70% of what we explain or teach
•90% of what we do
By focusing on real-world application, this method doesn’t just teach—it ensures learning sticks. It empowers employees to solve problems independently, boosting confidence and productivity. For businesses, this means less downtime, fewer errors, and a more capable workforce.
How We’re Using It
At our print facility, we’ve embraced Just-in-Time Training through tools like:
•Augmented Reality (AR): Overlay instructions or specs directly onto equipment for instant guidance
•Virtual Reality (VR): Simulate real-world tasks in a safe, controlled environment
•Mobile-First Learning: Offer quick, accessible training modules that fit seamlessly into the workday
These innovations ensure our employees have what they need to excel in their roles—when they need it.
