TOOL 3: Pre-training meeting with a manager

Before attending a training measure, a pre-training meeting takes place between the participant and their manager, in which, for example, the benefits, goals and possible applications of what is to be learned are discussed.

TOOL 2: Create a management summary letter for supervisors

At the end of the training, trainees receive a management summary letter to give to their supervisor. The key messages in the letter are to inform the supervisor how they can benefit from the application of what has been learned and to encourage them to support implementation.
