Chrysler
The video produced by Chrysler introduced a number of effective techniques that were being used by Chrysler to assist employees in transferring their learning and knowledge from the classroom to the production plant. Initially, the learners are introduced through the concept of transfer of learning in the classroom to the idea that they were going to learn a new approach to problem solving; this was then accomplished through the use of problem solving techniques concerning a number of different problem scenarios.
One recent study determined that "the core idea of transfer is that experience gained in learning to perform one task can help improve learning performance in a related, but different, task" (Taylor, Stone, 2009, p. 1633). In this specific case, Chrysler was making the effort to ensure that problem solving techniques were used in more than just the classroom arena. It was Chrysler's desire to ensure that the same techniques they were teaching in the classroom, transferred...
The intensive problem-solving atmosphere was conducive to student hands-on involvement. According to the video, the students learned "how to identify the right problem" and after identification the students learned to "measure, confirm and validate" the problem as well.
When referring to an automotive production plant, identifying the problem can be very critical to the success or failure of a brand. Building automobiles is an exact science and correcting the 'right' problem translates into a customer's happiness, or lack thereof.
Once the students had gained knowledge of the concept as it was taught in the classroom, they were required to implement the knowledge in a workforce arena. Having learned to test their assumptions in a step-by-step procedure in the classroom their skills translated well to their new focus. As the video reports "classroom theory turned into classroom reality" once they fanned out into Chrysler's quality engineering center. Studies…

Time Frame Though individual programs and sessions might have a limited time frame, the most effective organizations utilize ongoing training and mentoring programs, meaning that the time frame for such programs in a true learning organization is purposefully indefinite (Heathfield 2009). New hire training sessions might only last a week or even considerably less, but ongoing mentorship and continued training throughout an individual's time in a specific organization produces both longer-lasting
They can provide remedial basic skills tutoring in reading and math for employees before training them, or use video or on-the-job training, both of which emphasize learning by watching and practicing rather than by reading.

Off the job training is implemented in a location different from the actual place of employment. The more common methods of off the job training include the day releases (through which the employees take the day off work to engage in the training program), distance learning, block release courses, sandwich courses or self-study. The main advantages of this method are that the quality of the results is increased, as the
