Training Methodology

Training at Zoe Talent Solutions follows a dual approach—practical and theoretical. The practical aspect of training is addressed through group activities and discussions as well as role-plays among the training audience.

Theoretically, lectures are delivered by highly professional individuals trained in the relevant domain, using audio-visual presentations. The trainer also encourages trainees to share experiences from their real work scenarios, and these are then discussed in detail by the trainer.

The above format of training is not followed by any organisation. This model of Zoe Talent Solutions is called the Do–Review–Learn–Apply Model.
