Effectively training employees on complex or technical topics is critical to the success of any upskilling or reskilling strategy. But getting people to engage with, understand, and apply this kind of content requires a special instructional approach.
In this webinar, two veteran technical trainers (and Vyond customers) will share their blueprint for creating engaging and effective training videos on complex topics and a few real-world success stories from the world of healthcare and cybersecurity software.
Join Marco D’Abbraccio, principal trainer at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, and Chaya Rao, director of training development at Tanium, to discover how to create better training on technical and tricky topics.
What you'll learn:
- Why technical training is critical for helping employees upskill, reskill—and maintain current skills
- Key principles for producing effective technical training content—and pitfalls to watch out for
- How Marco and Chaya use Vyond for technical training content, with examples from past projects
