Eighteen short sections, grouped into four. None of them runs longer than eight minutes and none of them has to happen in one sitting. When they are done, they become one document: your learning profile, which your skills coach reads before your session so the session can be a conversation rather than an interview.
Start anywhere.

The last piece is the only one you do with somebody else in the room. At your induction session you and your skills coach open your personal development plan, agree your starting position against the standard, and both sign the baseline. That signature is the record that your learning began, so induction is not finished until it exists.
Every section above writes into one document. It is the thing your skills coach reads before they meet you, the thing your employer reads to work out how to get the best from you, and the thing you keep. You can open it at any point, finished or not.
Nothing captured yet. Complete any section and it starts writing itself.
One source. The switch at the top of the document decides which pages show, and printing prints whichever lens is open.
Because the facts are already gathered, the hour is spent on the things that genuinely need a person.
| In the session | Why it needs a person |
|---|---|
| Your starting point, agreed | Your skills coach has read your scan and your story. The session is where you agree what is genuinely new learning, and what you already do well enough to evidence. |
| Your questions | You will have written some down while reading. That is the whole point of doing the reading first. |
| Your support, agreed | Anything you said would help gets turned into something specific, with a name and a date against it. |
| Your training plan, signed | You, your employer and TLC. Hours, review dates, protected time, and who is responsible for what. |
| Your plan baseline, signed | Your position against the standard on day one, and the record that your learning began. |
Your employer should be in the room for the last two. The training plan is a three-way agreement, and protected time only holds if the person who writes the rota has agreed it out loud.
Four to six weeks in, we come back and ask whether it is genuinely happening. Has your training started? Is your protected time real? Does the job match what we were told? Where the answer is no, the plan changes rather than the expectation.
