 What is Involvement Training?

The Motion Control Training Department was estab-

lished in the early seventies. It was at this time that
the department’s charter was written. In this docu-
ment it was stated that the general area of activity
would include all phases of technical training for the
hydraulic and pneumatic industries. This training
would be noncommercial, involving state of the art
technology.
The Parker approach is one of involvement training.
In its full scope, involvement training is active partici-
pation. This participation results in excellent student
retention, plus a very comfortable way of learning. It
has been received with great enthusiasm.
Our present efforts involve eleven continually running
courses. They are:
Industrial Hydraulic Technology 1
Industrial Hydraulic Technology 2
Hydraulic Component Sizing
Hydraulic Maintenance Technology
Hydraulic Pumps and Controls
Mobile Hydraulic Technology
Introduction to Electrohydraulics
Electrohydraulic Feedback Systems
Cartridge Valve Systems
Basic Pneumatic Technology
Pneumatic Circuitry
All the above courses have associated texts or visual
aids. Also, sets of video tapes and CD-ROMs are
available.
The success of any training endeavor is difficult to
measure. However, a few concrete statistics will show
that involvement training is working. For one,
customer enrollment has our class registration back-
logged. In addition, 500 colleges, universities and
technical institutions are using our text materials;
educational institutions such as Ohio State Univer-
sity, Purdue University and Maine Maritime Academy.
Many corporations and government agencies have
adopted our courses to be used in plant to train their
ever changing work force. Names like Chrysler,
General Motors, Ford, IBM, and Virginia Depart-
ment of Highways have all used these programs
successfully.
If you feel that any of the training materials and/or
training developed here at Parker could be of use to
you, we welcome your inquiry. We stand ready to
become INVOLVED WITH YOU.
