Emerging Training and Performance Technologies Department
Applied and emerging technologies are dynamically linked. Real-world problems, challenges and opportunities require solid solutions. Using emerging technologies in new ways to meet the challenges is critical to innovation. The ETPT Department brings the synergies of these two worlds together. Since 1989, the department has produced training and performance solutions to meet our customers’ needs. This has ranged from such training solutions as structured on-the-job training and special skills qualification creation and validation through instructor-led training and web-based courseware. Since 2004, the Department has developed and implemented a model to capture valuable, tacit expert knowledge within organizations and transformed it into usable content for courseware and just-in-time performance support. Other performance support tools include the Civilian Career Development Program and Instructional Systems Design Toolkit/Training Object Repository Two primary customers, the Ogden Air Logistics Center Training Office and 309th Maintenance Wing, have been visionary in implementing new technologies to meet the changing and dynamic needs of their workforce in both training and performance support tools. The Ogden Air Logistics Center at Hill AFB, Utah, is a large Air Force maintenance depot. SwRI is entering its twentieth year on site serving the unique needs of this Air Force client. Technical strengths of the Department include:
