Lectures
Instructor-led training or lecture remains one of the most popular training techniques for trainers. In
BRAC lectures are conducted broadly for two perspectives: Academic & Operation. Lecture on academic
perspective is conceptual and knowledge based training. It develops necessary concepts of particular
learning area. Lecture on operation perspective is work and service related training. It develops the
service quality and improves the skill of the trainee in the field.
Audiovisual instruction
The goal of audio-visual aids is to enhance teacher's ability to present the lesson in simple, effective and
easy to understand for the students. Audiovisual material makes learning more permanent since
students use more than one sense. In BRAC audiovisual instruction is used for orientation of the
organization to new employees. The orientation training is given to employees as soon as they join in BI.
The purpose of this training is to orient the employee to the organization with its culture, values and
tasks; also to link his/her in the organization.
Simulations/Action Learning
Action Learning is a process that involves a small group working on real problems, taking action, and
learning as individuals, as a team, and as an organization. In BRAC it also involves off the job training
that requires the workers to undergo training for a specific period away from the work place. These
methods are concerned with both knowledge and skills in doing certain jobs. The workers are free of
tension of work when they are learning.
Behavior Modeling, a component of Social Learning Theory, is the act of guiding the employees how to
do something by showing them the standard modeled behavior. BRAC uses this process by the idea that
people tend to inevitably learn things they see in a hands-on way.
