Recommendation
During the Induction Program, Speaker should use the collar microphone in the training room because some speakers voice is not audible till the last bench. During the classroom training an operator should be assigned for operating the PPTs. There should be at least one Session addressed by the M.D to motivate the trainees. Company should give equal importance to each batch because after completion classroom training of one or two batches company never give the importance of rest batches as compare to first or second batch. During the induction program Co-ordinator/Speaker should conduct some fun activity/game for Management Trainee which will help them to get refresh and it would also help them to grasp more from speakers. And session would be interactive
