Activate Formal Learning

Most people are familiar with these statistics:

• 70% of development happens on the job
• 20% is through mentoring and coaching
• 10% is through formal learning which includes instructor led workshops and e-learning courses

Not only are these statistics familiar, they intuitively make sense. We have grown up with teachers, coaches and parents telling us “practice makes perfect”. So, we practiced and practiced and got better and better at riding a bike or playing the piano.

2. How do they help their learners practice and apply the content from the course on the job?
