In professional development—especially in high-stakes fields like public safety—we often treat education and training as interchangeable. But understanding a concept isn’t the same as being able to apply it in the real world.
As highlighted by Lon Bartel in recent Calibre Press articles and webinars, the difference between “knowing” and “doing” is critical. While education focuses on knowledge transfer, training is about translating that knowledge into action through hands-on experience, feedback, and repetition.
This webinar will explore why both education and training are essential, yet distinct, elements of workforce development. You’ll gain insights into how to balance conceptual learning with practical skill development — and how Vector Solutions and VirTra can support both.
What You’ll Learn:
- The key differences between education and training — and why it matters
- How to integrate classroom and online learning with real-world application
- Why lectures and test scores alone aren’t enough to ensure readiness
- How to incorporate simulation, coaching, and feedback into training
- Tools and strategies to measure performance beyond seat time
Whether you’re building online learning programs or planning practical training simulations, this session will help you design a more complete and effective training program—one that ensures your people don’t just know, but can do when it counts.
