Target TalkTM

Target Talk ProgramTarget TalkTM reduces training time and targets results.  It is a methodology designed specifically for multi-lingual workforce training and development.

If your company needs to train employees on safety, quality, or efficiency related topics, Target Talk is the best way to do it. Target Talk uses a series of posters that are customized to your specific training needs and population.   The posters use images, vocabulary, action words, and basic dialogue, in an interactive way, to teach content and language concurrently.  

Target Talk is delivered on-the-job, in the plant, and in rotating locations in short continuous segments and in small group huddles. Trained trainers use gestures, patterns and interactivity to get concepts across to learners.

The Target Talk program and methodology has many advantages.

  • Target Talk saves time and money because it eliminates the need for class room training.
  • The program uses peer to peer training, which motivates workers.
  • Target Talk program bridges ESL class knowledge and promotes language use on the job.
  • It is not hard to implement.
  • Visual posters make a good impression on auditors.
  • Target Talk can be leveraged for annual GMP/required training.
  • It opens up communication channels between operations and maintenance and management.
