Developing a Lead-Time Schedule. Self-Paced Instructional Module. Module Number III-B.

One of 33 self-paced instructional modules for training industry services leaders, this module contains three sequential learning activities on developing a lead-time schedule for an industry services training program. (Industry services programs are partnerships between public training institutions, industry, and other agencies to provide job training for new and expanding industry.) The first learning activity is designed to provide the learner with the needed background information, the second to give opportunity to apply that information in a practice situation, and the final check-out activity allows him to develop a lead-time schedule for an industry services project in a real work situation where he is employed or when he is serving as an intern learner. Feedback devices (a learner self-test and performance checklist) are included for use by the learner and instructor/supervisor to assess progress. Case study information, responsibilities worksheet, and a sample lead-time schedule are included for guidance in performing the objectives. (Two of the other modules also focus on specific aspects of obtaining agreements: Developing training agreements and interpreting legislation related to industry services.) (JT)
