Project Title | Due | Done? | Leader | Description | Why |
Udemy Course per tech: | July 1 | Aaron / All Techs | Have each tech member find (or assign) a udemy / book growth area | Force each tech to build on skill or learn a new skill. For example, one member is learning Powershell. We work 4/10s, so I hope to sit down with each tech on Thursday and have them tell me/ review with me what they learned that week. Expectation of at least 30 minutes a day towards this, if not 1 hour due to summer “slowdown” this year. Tracked via Ticket | |
Basic Networking Training | Now | Aaron | Aaron creates workshops to cover areas where many techs are lacking in networking knowledge. I had techs fill out a ‘survey’ based on the network+ syllabus of what they knew a lot of, and what they never heard about. | Grow tech’s skills starting with areas that most techs ranked themselves as low knowledge on topics. I’m hoping to build all skill level up, as the rising tide lifts all boats. After an initial “group training”, build more 1:1 training talking points for areas that only “Tech C” struggles with, to avoid boring training. | |
