- Integrated Learning Approach: Facilitated interactive workshops and joint sessions between IT and production teams to strengthen collaboration during service disruptions and continuity events.
- Post-Training Evaluation: Administered assessments and feedback sessions to measure knowledge retention, readiness for certification exams, and effectiveness in applying learned concepts.
