Apprenticeship Development
WIDS consultants work with educational institutions, industry experts and apprenticeship bureaus to collaboratively develop apprenticeship programs. In doing so, WIDS consultants facilitate the collaboration process, lead the DACUM occupational analysis, design courses and create job books for documenting on-the-job training. WIDS consultants services are tailored specifically to your apprenticeship program needs and goals.
What makes WIDS different?
WIDS Consultants understand how to develop effective apprenticeship programs because they've done it many times over. They are master facilitators of this complex process involving collaboration among multiple organizations.
Unlike other consultants, WIDS facilitators begin apprenticeship program development by conducting a DACUM occupational analysis. The resulting data is used to develop courses within the program. Course outcomes are linked to DACUM or occupational standards.
A Job Book identifies the specific knowledge, skills, attitudes, and tools required by workers in order to correctly perform their tasks while on the job. A Job Book organizes required tasks, skills and knowledge it into a progression of learning for an employee. This benefits a manager or field trainer on the job site as they can use the Job Book to "check off" tasks as an apprentice/employee successfully completes them.
When developing apprenticeship programs, it's critical to bring industry experts and educators together. WIDS consultants are pros at facilitating this collaboration and open to conducting meetings either online or face-to-face.
