Mining Industry Human Resources Council (MiHR)
Redesigning Industry Trainer Program to Upskill Mining Sector Instructors
The Process ...
AligneDesigns worked closely with MiHR to redesign and modernize the Industry Trainer program into a robust, four-day instructor development experience. The redesign preserved the valuable technical knowledge already embedded in the original training while enhancing its instructional design to create a more engaging, interactive, and practical experience for participants.
The revised training focused on building both instructional and facilitation skills essential for delivering effective adult learning in technical environments. Participants were guided through best practices in adult education, learner engagement, lesson planning, and skills assessment, while also practicing facilitation techniques through peer teaching and coaching sessions. The program emphasized a strong balance between theory and application, ensuring that trainers could immediately transfer these methods into their real-world classrooms or onsite training environments.
Throughout the four days, learners engaged in a variety of interactive learning strategies, including group discussions, case studies, practical facilitation exercises, and role-play scenarios. The program also incorporated formative feedback and peer evaluations, allowing trainers to build confidence while receiving actionable insights on their delivery techniques.
