The circumstances of transfer include the overview of knowledge and skills developed in training to do with the job and the preservation of the learning on the job (Saks & Belcourt, 2006). There are also factors to do with training input that can effect training outcomes and transfer including training design, trainee characteristics and work environment factors (Saks & Belcourt, 2006). Training design refers to the elements built into the training program to increase the chances that transfer of training will occur. Carlos designed a three-day communication program that included lectures, videos, exercises, and games, which taught active listening, upward communication, brainstorming and other areas (CS). Trainee characteristics include the ability, skills, motivation and personality factors of the trainee to transfer what they have learnt into work. This is where Carlos should have discussed and prepared employees to self-mange their use of new skills and behaviours on the job (Noe & Winkler, 2012 p. 181). Self management involves determining the degree of support and negative consequences in the work-setting, setting goals for using learned capabilities, applying learned capabilities, monitoring the use of learn capabilities, and engaging in self-reinforcement (Noe & Winkler, 2012 p. 181).

Role-playing scenarios solidify newly acquired information, and action planning provides an opportunity to prepare the participants for on-the-job application.
