​

What does the Skills Builder training video membership give me access to?

The Alliance Training Videos Membership gives box plant trainers and their trainees access to all Skills Builder video topics as long as they do not log-out.  If they do log out, they can log-in again at any time.  The training membership does not give access to the machine demo videos in the product area of the website.  The password for demo videos is available from your Alliance regional manager.  As a Box Plant trainer, you are also given access to Skills Builder Review Guide information, see below.

​

Why can I not hear sound or play Skills Builder videos?

Check your browser first.  Not all internet browsers are updated with support technologies to play videos correctly.  Internet Explorer is not recommended, it is no longer fully supported by Microsoft and it is an out of date browser, however, Microsoft does support it's Edge browser.  For best video and sound performance, Skills Builder recommends Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari Browsers.   

​

What is the best way to make it easy for trainees to access Skills Builder?

The best way is to give employees access to a company controlled computer that is logged in to Skills Builder.  That computer will remain logged in until Skills Builder is logged out.  Your trainees will not need to log in or remember a Skills Builder password on that computer.

​

Can box plant trainers share their Skills Builder membership account?

As Box Plant Trainer,  you are only authorized to give your member email and password solely to your plant's trainees so they can login to view the videos.  If you forgot your password or would like to change your password before you share it with trainee employees, you can change your password at any time in the log-in window.  You will automatically be asked by email to verify if the new password is an authorized request.

 

What is the best way for trainers to use the Skills Builder Training Review Guides?

The Training Review Guides can demonstrate a learner's comprehension of content:

• As a post video review using the "Closed Book" method.  ( a more difficult memory based test )

• Another approach is to allow the learner to complete the training Review Guides while viewing the videos.  This  "Open book" method helps the learner find the correct answers by using the seek and find approach.  ( less difficult but still a good learning experience )

• The Training Review Guides can also be customized to fit your box plants needs by downloading the review files, editing and printing them for your trainees to use.

 

How do I access the Skills Builder Training Review Guides and answers?

For Trainees, the Training Review Guides can be down-loaded from the link at the bottom of each video's page without a password.  The file can be printed to complete, then turned into the the box plant trainer.

​

For Box Plant Training Instructors, the answer key to the Training Review Guides is available to down-load from the link at the bottom of the Skills Builder Topics Page.   The password Is sent to trainers when they sign up or the password can be requested by contacting the Alliance Training Video Coordinator at any time.
