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.
For the international equivalent of U.S. middle-schoolers, average annual required hours increased to 925 (ranging from 741 hours in Sweden to 1,167 hours in Mexico). The OECD did not have data for high schoolers. Nor did the OECD report include U.S. figures, since instructional-time rules are set by individual states.
