Teach your class a skill or concept, then have each individual demonstrate how he would apply that skill to the project, in front of the class. Or ask for volunteers, who will walk through how to carry out a procedure or job task. Volunteers can either do the walk-through in front of the entire class, or you can divide the class into partners, who will walk through how to solve particular tasks with each other.
Help finesse your employees' communication skills, while developing their abilities to think critically about a problem relevant to your training. Divide the class into groups, and blindfold all of the members of each group except for one. Give the one person not wearing a blindfold the image of a particular problem in your field, for instance, an architectural issue that the team must solve. Have him clearly describe the image and problem, and have the group discuss and brainstorm potential solutions.
Train your employees in appropriate ways to respond to one another in the workplace. For instance, have participants interview their co-workers, introduce their co-workers to the rest of the class, and explain what they like about their jobs to the class. In addition, provide training in how to respond to any given crisis, ranging from the death of a co-worker's family member when the co-worker is needed to negotiate a business deal the following day to how they would handle a fire. Ask your trainees to role-play various situations, and provide feedback on their behavior in each situation.
Emphasize job literacy by having trainees work together to create and define a list of common workplace terms, and provide training on key aspects of each individual's job. If a job involves recognizing trends, students should graph some trends for the class, and explain what they mean and get practice fielding questions. If they are working in payroll, have them explain the various parts of a pay stub.
