Put me in Coach! I'm Ready to Play: A Practical Approach to Building and Training a Coaching Framework for Your Organization

This session is designed to introduce the Learning and Professional coach training developed by the National Institute of Corrections (NIC). The Learning and Performance Coach is a 36-hour hybrid training program focused on contemporary learning and performance knowledge and skills used to prepare and deliver coaching programs. This is an extension of the Field Training Officer (FTO) On the Job (OJT) training program previously offered by NIC. This hybrid program comprises three virtual instructor-led classes, all three hours in length using NIC’s virtual platform; two 8-hour in-person class days; and eleven hours of pre-session and inter-session work completed by participants. The program targets the importance of building and using effective on-the-job coaching techniques. Throughout the course, participants will learn about new roles that Learning and Performance Coaches are playing in their organizations’ success and gain new or updated ideas and skills for facilitating others’ learning.
