Train the Trainer
New Employee Orientation

Client: Brigham Young University and LDS Church Education System directed "Especially for Youth" ( www.byu.edu/efy ). Especially for Youth (EFY) is staffed by over 800 college aged counselors.

Challenge: To provide a distance learning solution to over 800 college-aged counselors in the United States and Canada on how to effectively teach the youth attending EFY. Included in that instruction would be a detailed course on operational proceedures. Roughly 80% of the EFY employee base is new each year-requiring a substantial stand-alone training solution to minimize administrative costs.

Solution: M:4 worked with the LDS Church Education System to develop an interactive multimedia CD-ROM for MS Windows T computers that provided "train the trainer" materials how to effectively teach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The training was based on materials used in a two-semester college training course and synthesized the material to focus on the most critical elements. The two-hour training course includes videos, voice-over narration, interactive learning experiences with responses that change based upon the learners' answers, and audio lessons.
