Interviewer training - going about it
Training
I think the ongoing support and development is cricial. We engaged mentors from other well established schemes to give regular support to our small band of interviewers and they seemed to really work.
As for Magdelana's comments on the training she is/has developed: -
"We now have a workplan, a theme/context (establishing our service guilds), a potential set of initial interviewers, a set of open-ended questions to get the conversations started, and the announcement and invitation to everyone about the project (which itself took months to work through).
I don' t see us attracting outside money to support our training and implementation efforts."
I see the Workplan, presentation, set of open-ended questions etc. all as resources that I am sure others could benefit from. It might be difficult to attract outside money for your training efforts but, someone like me (a training officer in a small local authority in the Southof England at the start of our journey)may well be willing to purchase such well developed resources to re-use? As a community of practice I am all for sharing freely, am always grateful for it and willing to do the same. However, I can see that some sort of recognition of the time and effort it went into producing them can also be valid too.
Shame you can't get them on ebay:-))
