0501 – Informal Training

Updated: August 21, 2009




A General Insight About Training

Informal training is a form of training that often explores an informal job mentoring process. Instead of having clear goals and a timeline, informal training relies on the experience employees gather through following other staff members, speaking to experts, reading up on relevant topics, or attending beneficial conferences. Informal training is hard to evaluate, but tends to be very high in quality as it mirrors the natural learning process found in human nature.
