In-Service Training

The company, Javo-Mex, trained Joe and its employees to perform the quality control tests, methods, and procedures properly. The training was very "company-specific", because the company sets the standards and qualifications for the raw materials and products. Most of the training was done prior to the job, and also many lab skills such as operating the machinery and traditional chemistry lab methods were required. Safety procedures and health hazards were also gone over before Joe started, and he continued to familiarize himself with them as he worked in the environment. Proper lab technique and handling of equipment and substances were perfected through practice and constant use everyday. Communication with not only fellow chemists, but the supervisor and people from different departments was a skill that was sharpened as Joe continued doing his job.
