This is, by no means, a finite list of resources. However, it is a solid start of resources that offer a wide variety of transfer of learning strategies to implement with trainees.

  • Remember, transfer of training is a partnership between the Trainer, Trainee and the Director/Administrator.
  • Many of the strategies provided by the authors of these resources recognize this partnership and include all three parties in the processes they describe.
