Training Impact Paradigm

Training Impact administers their training through the method and process of Experiential Learning and Education. This process is as ancient as time and has a lot of usage throughout history. It is quite simply learning by reflection on the doing. It is also connected with action learning and implementation based learning. In fact, the trainers constantly use the different methods out there under the umbrella of experience based learning.  The individual is the focus point of the training. Training Impact Trainers take into consideration the individual learning process and the unique manner in which everyone views the world. Only then is the program structured to provide an experience that leaves a person not only knowledgeable but wiser than before.

This is where the training is trainee centered and the Trainers or facilitators have a keen focus on the needs and requirements of the trainees. The training are designed around the principles of implementation based learning. This process is one which focuses on getting results and embed learning for the long term in the minds of the individuals involved in the programs.

The programs are constructed keeping in mind that all the areas should have the capability of embedding in the minds of the participants. This is because studies show again and again that more than watching or listening, people remember what they had practically done and engaged in. when an activity is done with your own hands, it tends to shore up confidence and make people believe that they could do more. It also reveals to them their own behavior that they might have been consistently engaged in but are not consciously aware pf doing. Programs like these make people more self-reflexive and that is the aim of training impact; to make socially aware individuals who are successful in their professional and personal lives.

The design of the indoor and Outdoor Program is based on extensive back work that requires the trainers and the logistics team to go to the learning site multiple times and prep it for the upcoming program. This way the uncertainty of the elements is controlled to be bearable and an environment is created for the fruitful learning of the participants. The training are more like chunks of simulated real-life scenarios, rather than training. The term, training is used by the Impact team because of the structure of the programs and the fact that people learn. But it is a far cry from the training that are the norm in this country. The indoor programs too are rigged in a way that the learning is completely dependent on the thought process of the individual such that the activities, reproduced scenarios and processes lightly steer them towards the learning but the participants are pushed to use and apply their cognitive abilities.

The Results of the Experiential Learning

When the people are given a situation that stimulates them in different ways to take action, their creative juices flow and many unlikely people come up to bat, who thought themselves less than capable to lead. The methods bring people out of their proverbial shells and shows them their place in the larger scheme of things. After the rigors of the doing and dealing emotionally and physically with the elements thrown at them by the Impact team and the natural setting- the people are given a chance to dwell on their thoughts and think deeply; introspectively and retrospectively about the happenings. Gleaning insights and seeing a facet of themselves that they would likely ignore or shroud in everyday life.

The program gives the participants courage, impetus and the wherewithal to do what they thought was impossible. The hardships and subsequent learning show the people that the impossible is more likely probable. Not only that but the programs, interventions and initiatives also bring to light the bedrock of a person’s life: the principles, values and beliefs. Everyone is able to see their actions and doings in the light of the principles that they hold or the world view that they come from. It shows them the stark reality of what they do versus what they believe and pushes them to rectify any errors or lapses they have engaged in.

The power of the programs offered by Training Impact is immense in scale and longevity. They are moments that are not easily forgotten. Participants are said to relive the moments they spent in the Training Impact programs, again and again
