For those of you unfamiliar with the concept, “train the trainer” refers to programs where workshops help create effective trainers on specific material who in turn can go out and then train others on how to use this material. While it is a technique commonly employed by companies with financial constraints, many industries have incorporated it as their standard means to more fully integrate training into the workforce.
 
One of the major reasons it is used is that this technique can be organized to quickly dispense information since it calls upon the talents of many people to educate a large organization. Managed and controlled properly, it can distribute a consistent message that keeps associates informed at the same relative time, thus improving the success of the training and its continuity.
 
Additionally, it is less expensive to run. Keeping a training department totally focused on providing education on a specific technology program is costly, especially for a multi-campus corporation.
