These approaches allows the trainee to go from in the classroom learning, to watching their mentor, to hands on, first person experiences.
Recently, 57 Jagemann™ Stamping employees completed and passed an eight hour training session focused on mentor training. Mentor training is important to the culture of Jagemann™ Stamping, as the goal of the course is to prepare individuals to mentor any new or future employees. By training current employees for future ones, it allows the trainees to understand what it’s like to be new to a company again, and how to effectively communicate and collaborate with an inexperienced hire.
The mentor training was taught by a local, technical college instructor who specializes in Human Resources leadership development.

With regular interaction between the Team Member and Mentor, Jagemann™ Stamping (JSC) benefits by ensuring the transfer of organization knowledge to the Team Member and by helping Team Members develop to their full potential. This development will assure job satisfaction for the Team Member and increased business performance for JSC.
