Description 1

The role of a coach is to create a supportive environment that will develop the ability of those being coached to perform existing tasks better or new tasks. In the nuclear industry, coaching is a legitimate and effective teaching tool for situations like on-job training (OJT); however, it is to be avoided during the process of confirming acquired competences. For this reason, some utilities prohibit OJT instructors/coaches from also serving to evaluate the effectiveness of the learning by trainees on given tasks. Coaches may be from within or from outside an organization.
