                       Introduction
    • Transfer of training - trainees effectively and 
       continually applying what they learned in 
       training to their jobs.
    • Generalization - a trainee’s ability to apply 
       learned capabilities to on-the-job work 
       problems and situations that are similar but 
       not identical to those problems and situations 
       encountered in the learning environment.
