Training-Sheets Provide Valuable Facts
Training-sheets sometimes also called facts-sheets, are technical documents that businesses, organizations, and governments produce to inform their people and others about services, programs or training. They come in many different layouts and looks and each is unique as the organization that produced it. The US federal government for example has a whole list of this type of documents on the Web for the veterans. One I found titled “U.S. Department of Labor” with sub-headings “Veterans' Employment and Training Service” and “VETS Employment Services Fact Sheet 1” talks about the employment and training services to eligible veterans through a non-competitive “Jobs for Veterans State Grants Program”. This two-page training-sheet informs the recently disabled about a federal grants program that is designed to help them transition from the military life to civilian. More, it talks about various types of assistance available to them and their families. They, the disabled, and particularly those that have been identified most in need of intensive employment and training assistance, are informed of government employment programs to help them get work with collaborating employers etc. Another example that I found on the Internet is one from the Canadian federal government's department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada. This example is called a fact sheet its heading being “FACT SHEET – FAST FACTS ABOUT FRESH WATER AQUACULTURE IN CANADA”. The two-pager talks about raising freshwater fish commercially. The information is disclosed in bullet-form, each having a chunk of data about freshwater fish farming in Canada. Also included are graphics, one a bar-chart telling the reader that the province of Ontario leads Canada in this type of business with the most volume. The webpage where all this is found is divided into two columns residing just below the header/banner. The left-hand side contains all the hypertext links to other related resources information on this government website. Still another example of a training-sheet is from a company called Aspentech. This one is titled “Implementing Best Practices for Experienced Aspen InfoPlus.21 Administrators” and talks about an advanced training course. This education is designed for technical users with one or more years of Aspen InfoPlus.21 administration or software development. The sheet tells the reader about the approach, objectives, and the course benefits. It also spells out who qualifies to be enrolled in this training. The layout of this technical document is box-form with the course title and related information on top of the web page and below it a two column bigger box containing the rest of the information. The information contained in the two columns is broken up with bolded text heading with a number of paragraphs below each heading. At the utmost bottom of the page appear the same words (title) that heads the whole document.
