Exploring the Transfer of Learning from an Executive Development Program for Human Services Managers
Abstract
Given the limited staff development resources in human service
agencies & the estimate that only 10% of learning gained through
training is transferred to on-the-job performance, the transfer of
learning has become a critical issue. This article examines the
transfer of learning process related to a human services executive
development program. It is based on a program evaluation & case
study that identified three important mechanisms for the transfer of
learning: (1) supervisor support of participants before, during, &
after the program, (2) opportunities to share program learning with
others, & (3) agency-based projects that help participants apply
the knowledge gained from the training program. Figures, References.
