I try to offer scenarios that most of my trainees can relate to. The main job aid that I currently use is handouts. I believe that they are a great way to deliver the information and hold trainees’ attention during lectures or presentations. Typically they come in the form of crossword puzzles, PowerPoint slides, writing assignments, or informational sheets.
