Group Training Sessions

FOR THE TRAINER

and the other training staff. If the size of the group allows, ask your students to introduce
themselves and the type of environment in which they work. This information can help you
anticipate specific questions that may come up during the training as well as create a feeling
of common purpose for the students.
