WHAT IS ONE GLARING PROBLEMWITH TRAINING?
In short, there is minimal expectation
that what occurs in a training program
will be quickly applied to the job and the
learning will be re-enforced until it
“sinks-in”, is easily recalled and is
practical with measurable returns.

WHAT IS APPLIED LEARNING EXTENSIONS™
Applied Learning Extensions™
is a process with specific
learning activities that will be
generated 5 to 6 times over
100 days following a training
program.
The information in the short
term memory of the brain is
moved into long term memory
over time through use,
repetition and applied
practice.

ALE helps to close the learning retention gap by exposing the learners to
timed activities with increasing levels of direct participation by the learner.
