Designing a training program involves a sequence of steps that can be grouped into five phases: conducting a needs assessment, defining training objectives, detailing program specifics, implementing the training and evaluating its effectiveness.

  1. Needs assessment – conduct a site audit (pages 8 and 29-31) and determine if employees have and are following appropriate procedures. Make needed site improvements and write/modify procedures prior to launching a training program.
  2. Instructional objectives – identify what training is needed to ensure procedures are being followed.
  3. Details – determine how, who, where and when you will train. Consider the following areas: explaining the environmental impact of pellet loss, defining the role each individual plays in affecting change and ensuring knowledge of appropriate procedures.
    • Use OCS to design and develop the training program and program content.
    • Select the techniques used to facilitate learning (crew meetings, handouts, video, website, etc.).
    • Select the appropriate setting for your meetings.
    • Prepare materials.
    • Identify and train the instructors
    • Create department goals.
  4. Implementation – Schedule classes, facilities, participants and instructors, deliver materials, conduct training.
  5. Evaluation – Determine participant reaction to the training, how much they learned and to what degree the department goals were met. Re-evaluate all procedures to assess the effectiveness of the OCS program annually.

Litter is not an issue of type of debris, but one of personal responsibility. We ALL share in the responsibility to prevent litter – stopping debris before it reaches our stormwater drains where it can drift to our oceans. Protect our oceans and we protect ourselves.
