A leading global supplier of passenger automobiles & the world’s largest manufacturer of commercial vehicles. The company sells vehicles in more than 125 countries.

The automaker needed a training solution to help international factory workers perform better on-the-job. Existing training lacked uniformity, eluded non-English speakers & fell short in improving productivity.

Aptech helped the customer pinpoint specific problems

• Because of high illiteracy among employees in some regions, text-based coursework was out of the question; a creative approach was needed to engage these learners.
• Language & cultural differences among a variety of non-English speaking groups not only created barriers but also led to inconsistencies in the way subjects were taught.
• Previous instructor-led programs had not had the desired impact on job performance, workplace safety & the ability of employees to make effective choices on-the-job.

The company needed vivid presentation materials to help instructors provide a richer learning experience that would draw the interest of learners & help them absorb required knowledge.

Aptech delivered results:

• To connect with visual learners, Aptech created animations, simulations & procedural videos that increase curiosity. The simulations enabled learners to practice safe use of equipment without risk of injury, before operating real machinery on-the-job.
• Aptech standardized Instructor-Led presentations, relying heavily on graphics to make all key points. Consistent but localized content was developed for use in each non-English speaking culture where the company employs workers.
• The new courseware provided troubleshooting scenarios that used branching logic & interactive feedback to help workers make smarter choices at work.
