Learn from the Industry Experts

The Kinectrics Training and Professional Development business unit comprises industry-recognized subject matter experts and specialized lab facilities.

Hundreds of utility employees—worldwide—have attended these training sessions and provided unanimously positive feedback.

Features, Benefits and Advantages of Training at Kinectrics

  • Unlike purely technical companies, Kinectrics has in-house instructional-design experts, who work closely with our technical staff on course outlines and material, to provide a course delivery framework optimized for learning.
  • Once selected as trainers, Kinectrics technical experts undergo rigorous training on course delivery skills–including speaking, presentation, and classroom interaction.
  • Our integrated approach to training combines theoretical and applied learning, and includes self-assessment tools, templates and other job aids.

Kinectrics’ courses incorporate practical hands-on experience and case studies based on our long-term technical support of major utilities and related companies. Course content development includes the principle of “Tell Me – Show Me – Let Me Try – Test Me”.

With specialized training from Kinectrics, trainees will:

  • Learn from Experts

Trainees acquire knowledge and skills from instructors carefully selected from our team of over 300 scientists, engineers and professional staff—many of whom are professional educators. Kinectrics people also share a unique in-depth understanding of the working needs of utility and other industry personnel.

  • Learn from Hands-on Labs and Case Studies

In the hands-on workshops conducted in our world-class lab and testing facilities, trainees practice skills for industry-related science and advanced technologies. Participants gain knowledge and valuable real- world information from Kinectrics experts through project case studies.

  • Learn from Courses Framed by Learning Design Standards and Methodology

Kinectrics courses are developed using Course Development Standards based on the energy industry’s structured approach to training for Adult Learning. Courses combine theory and application learning, and often include self assessment instruments, tools, templates and other aids, specifically designed to optimize the transfer of knowledge to ensure on-the-job performance level objectives are achieved.
