The Underpinning Rail Workforce Development program aimed to improve staff development, recruitment, and retention in the rail industry. It developed and updated training courses, and enhanced national consistency and relevance in rail training. The program included several projects focused on defining career pathways, skills recognition, leadership development, and evaluating the use of simulators in training drivers. The benefits of the program included improved efficiency, reduced costs, an enhanced professional image, and increased attraction and retention of rail workers.

“Using Simulations to Train Future Project Leaders at NASA” By Lawrence Suda-...SeriousGamesAssoc
Lawrence Suda speaks about “Using Simulations to Train Future Project Leaders at NASA” at Serious Play Conference 2012
ABSTRACT:
The essential message of this presentation is about training future project managers at NASA and about project team behavior: how the simulation technology behaves, how people behave and how the simulation and people behave, and sometimes misbehave, together.
Ultimately the real test of the people on the project is not so much what they know; it’s what they do with their knowledge. Making a decision is not the same as implementing it. Knowledge, insight and project wisdom are needed to fully execute a successful project.

6. Is an hour in the simulator worth more
or less than an hour on the train?
The received wisdom is that
simulation provides:
p
A safe environment
Cost-
Cost-effective ways of training
y g
Greater operational efficiency
A repeatable, observable and accessible
environment
How can we get the most out of these
advantages for training purposes?
