The PBET Website -or Solid Performance Solutions site- has been updated. All of the old material is still available but I think you can find things faster, most of it loads faster, and new material has been added. If you had bookmarked any pages in the past, they might not work now as I have [...] cc by sierraromeo (sarah-ji) on Flickr A chunk of certified PBET instructors are no longer at Asyst Technologies; the company declared bankruptcy in April. On June 10 it was Aviza Technology, also based in hard-hit California, that declared bankruptcy. In May, Axcelis Technologies, a company at which I used to work, sidelined about 235 workers, or [...] In the PBET Workshops and in conference presentations, I have always presented training as one of many solutions for improving (or changing) human performance. Yes, training is my specialty area as it is for many of my readers at this blog, but it is never an end in itself. It is (or should be) part [...] …And My Reactions to Them Certainly this is a primary goal of hands-on practice. But what is competence? Performance-based training defines competence as meeting the requirements of the performance objective. But for competence to result from practice, at least three things must be true: The conditions of the practice must realistically reflect the [...] Call it the worst semiconductor cycle yet or simply “The Recession,” the fact is - many are looking for work. Still, most of my friends and colleagues are still working in performance improvement related jobs at high tech companies - equipment trainers, eLearning developers, technical writers, and so on. We can help each other out. One interesting model where employed [...] The use of job aids can be a substitute for training or a supplement to training; that is, they can often replace the need for training or they can make training easier and faster. It all depends on the original analysis, but the use of job aids can save money. Job aids include equipment manuals, color-coding [...] The short answer is that the Technician Performance Improvement Council (TPIC) was officially dissolved during the fall of 2008 by its Board of Directors with the intention of establishing a new professional association of technical trainers in high tech industries. However, the current recession, as it gathered momentum throughout 2008, forced the individuals on the [...] What do you use to guide your decision-making when designing your courses? Are you swept away by the latest fads? The New Oxford American Dictionary defines fad as an intense and widely shared enthusiasm for something, esp. one that is short-lived and without basis in the object’s qualities; a craze. When I started my life [...] I was shoveling snow lately. It was then that the idea for this website began to form. Snow job: This is when we begin to fill time with a lot of theory, some degree of which is irrelevant and useless. This can be prompted by many things, like lack of access to a machine [...] Since 1995, some 1600+ individuals in the semiconductor industry have improved their performance-based equipment training (PBET) skills through participation in the PBET Workshop. Since then, many have left the industry, voluntarily or otherwise, while others continue to champion the benefit of PBET within the semiconductor industry. But those who work in the semiconductor industry know that it is [...] |
