At the end, trainers use a tool to evaluate job readiness of new hires, and a meeting is held to debrief strengths and address areas for improvement.\u00a0 To evaluate the pilot project, trainers and new hires are asked to complete a survey. Feedback from both trainers and the new employees has been positive, indicating more opportunities to engage in programming and hands-on practice.\u00a0 This has allowed both new hires to begin their roles with confidence.\u00a0 The trainers felt that the time frames for training were sufficient, giving them enough time to review all components of the training guide. Quarterly meetings with trainers are ongoing to make necessary changes and improvements to the program before introducing the project at the other two Banyan youth justice sites.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;|300|||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#1e1e1e&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;19px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.2em&#8221; link_font=&#8221;||||on||||&#8221; link_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; max_width=&#8221;1075px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; width__hover_enabled=&#8221;off|desktop&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Banyan\u2019s All-Staff Breakfast meeting was held on February 13, 2025 at the Sandman Hotel in Hamilton.
