There are a number of situations in which a workshop would be the best choice: 1  The beginning of something new. 2  The initial training of staff or volunteers. 3  The in-service or ongoing training of staff or volunteers.  Staff 1  development. The demonstration of a new concept.  The explanation of something to the public.
For instance, employees with fewer than two years of tenure received an average of 65 hours of training; workers with more than two years but fewer than five years at the establishment received an average of 24 hours, and those with 5-10 years of tenure received 47 hours. (See table 6.) Full- or part-time.
The industry obviously affects the number of employees and the amount of training. Manufacturing industries, for example, traditionally have the most employees and require more technical training. These companies spent, on average, $535 per employee, training 27 hours per year. Healthcare and pharmaceutical industries spend more ($1,392 per employee) but train less: 24 hours each year.
