 SIN 27-400: Instructor-Led Training 

Calyptus takes a process view toward training. This means that all training activities should be focused on filling a gap in skills or knowledge or providing those competencies that will provide staff with growth and development opportunities. We believe that the establishment of the training curriculum should be based on a well-crafted needs assessment focused around key dimensions of the job or competencies required to fulfill the goals of improving the organization s supply chain. 

All training should be supported by top management and staff members should be briefed by their management prior to attending training events. This ensures that the staff and their managers agree on the expected outcomes and application of the training. It is also essential for post training follow-up to determine whether, in fact, the training has served its intended purpose. 

Page 4

Training activities support the organization s overall strategy, and training measures fall with the "Learning and Growth" category using the Balanced Scorecard. The return on investment of the training should be tracked and evaluated. 

We believe that training adults is a specialized field, and providers should be sensitive to the needs of the adult learner. This means that the training curriculum should be designed to be interactive and allow the learner to apply the knowledge gained during the course of the program and receive feedback on performance. Action plans to be implemented after the training should be included in the training design.   

Calyptus follows a consistent method when designing, developing, conducting and evaluating training. We begin by indicating the outcomes desired by the training based on skills or competency assessments. We then develop a curriculum outline with both learning and behavioral objectives. Once the curriculum is approved by the customer, we develop the material and include interactive case studies and exercises. We may use subject-matter-experts from the customer to tailor the orientation to their industry and environment. Once the materials are approved by the customer, we conduct a pilot program and make any necessary changes based on feedback. We then conduct the program in a "full-release" mode and ensure that data is collected and analyzed after every training offering to ensure that the materials and instruction are the best possible. We work with the customer to validate the ROI and survey the training participants about the value obtained. Thus, the flow of the training process can be described as follows: 

 
 

 SIN 27-500: Course Development and Test Administration 

Calyptus Consulting Group, Inc. is a small business qualified for NAICS 611710 (Educational and Support; Services) and NAICS 611430 (Management Development; Professional Development, and Quality Assurance Training).

In addition to our government course development and test administration experience, Calyptus has developed courses and trained personnel at all levels across many industries including manufacturing, defense/aerospace, software, financial services, consumer goods, personal services, chemicals and oil industries, and health care.

Page 5

shelf and customized programs. Our solutions include instructor-led training, web-based training, CD-ROMS, video conferencing and Webex.

Our programs are highly interactive and hands-on. They are designed to solicit viewpoints from people in different lifestyles and stages of development. Experience has taught us that adult learners like to focus on a single-concept; integrate new ideas with current knowledge; and participate in learning-based projects. Therefore, we apply the 'learning by doing' principle, thereby improving training effectiveness. Creative and innovative approaches are used to ensure participant involvement, including presentations, self-assessments, team/group exercises, simulations and role playing. Generally, we use multimodal training methods that incorporate LCD projection, overhead projection, flipcharts, case studies and exercises to ensure "active student participation."

Participants will not only gain knowledge -- they will learn how to implement best practices immediately.

We use a variety of tools and strategies for gathering data, decision-making, and managing group behavior. We focus on content, process, and results.

We specialize in the design, development, and conduct of training in the following areas: 

Contracting

Conflict Resolution

Procurement

Quality Systems

Team-Building

Interpersonal Skills

Negotiations

Supervisory Skills
