Winning a Steelie Award for Excellence in Education & Training
The Steelie Awards, organized by the World Steel Association, represent over 160 steel producers worldwide, including nine of the top ten largest steel companies, along with national and regional steel industry associations and steel research institutes.
These awards acknowledge the outstanding efforts and contributions of member companies and individuals in various categories impacting the steel industry.
Tata Steel Europe received the Excellence in Education and Training award, acknowledging Wranx’s unique training approach to training using spaced repetition, a scientifically proven learning technique.
To enhance product knowledge among 150 employees in areas like product management and customer services, Tata Steel Europe adopted Wranx’s training solution.
Nine tailored learning modules were incorporated into employees’ daily drills, supported by a resource library which inspired continuous learning and independent development.
Utilizing spaced repetition training for long lasting knowledge
Tata Steel Europe was in search of an innovative training program to enhance product knowledge, a crucial aspect in any commercial role.
After conducting a capability assessment, it was identified that 150 employees, working in disciplines such as product management, account management, and customer services, needed improvement in this area.
They were looking for a modern learning solution, which led them to discover the effectiveness of Wranx’s training program based on the concept of spaced repetition.
Spaced Repetition, a fundamental concept in learning, plays a vital role in retaining and recalling information over an extended period.
This technique involves the repetitive review of learning materials at strategically increasing intervals of time, based on the learner’s improved recall. By revisiting the content, the memory of the information becomes stronger, effectively reinforcing knowledge and ensuring long-term skills retention.
