Break into small groups. Have each person think about a current job or one held in the past for which orientation training was provided.

• If you never held a job that provided orientation training, just think of a job you held. Describe four things that good orientation training would include to make breaking into the job easier. Post these activities on an easel under the heading “Wish they had done.”

• If you went through an orientation training, think about the orientation and list two things that were good about the experience and two things you thought were a waste of time or boring.

• Post these activities on an easel, with the positive under the heading “Glad they did” and the negative under the heading “Wish they hadn’t done.”

• After everyone contributes, discuss how the “Glad they did” and the “Wish they had done” tie into the training model in terms of what you need to do right. Do the same for the “Wish they hadn’t done”

in terms of what to avoid.
