- Abstract:
Engineering consulting firms heavily use and support in‐house training programs. The objectives of these training programs are (1) To supplement the graduate engineer's educational training; (2) to keep the professional engineer current and knowledgeable in the emerging engineering and management techniques and methods; (3) to prepare the engineer for a professional career in the firm; and (4) to satisfy the firm's personnel, technical, and organizational needs. The transition from professional development in the individual's area of expertise to that of managing people (e.g. projects, departments, offices) is of particular importance and is discussed. However, the development of people‐skills cannot be at the expense of the individual's technical knowledge. This paper presents a discussion of the in‐house training programs provided by CH2M HILL, INC. for both field and office engineering and management personnel. The approaches used to develop, assess, and implement these in‐house training programs are discussed. Special attention is also given to the types of in‐house training programs offered at the various stages of the engineer's or the manager's professional development.
