Accelerating Workforce Training on Single-Use Technologies

Leveraging Lonza's understanding of the fundamental aspects of training and adult learning styles and Pall's knowledge of SUT handling and operations of the specific TFF equipment, this novel approach combines digital tools and virtual reality solutions with in-person and hands-on training sessions. According to the National Training Laboratories, retention of learning content ranges from 5-30% for passive methods and 50-90% for participatory methods (2). Criteria for successful SUT training programmes Training on SUTs requires addressing the specific training needs for SUTs while keeping in mind adult learning preferences and the different needs to ensure essential transfer of knowledge, skills, and attitude, including understanding of overall process implications caused by potential variations in the individual tasks. In the current environment where SUT adoption is accelerating, the biopharmaceutical industry is expanding rapidly, manufacturing paradigms are continuing to evolve, and new hires are entering the workforce at an unprecedented rate, manufacturers must respond quickly to ensure that training programmes are compliant to enable accelerated learning for competence.
