What is DOJO?
The word DOJO comes from Japanese, meaning “a place of learning.” In the manufacturing industry, a DOJO training module is a structured, hands-on learning system that trains employees in a realistic, simulated environment before they go to the actual workplace.
It is designed to upskill new employees within a short span (as fast as 1 month), ensuring they gain confidence, technical know-how, and awareness of quality, safety, and productivity practices before being deployed.
Framework for DOJO Implementation
We implement DOJO training in a systematic 5-step framework for MSMEs:
1. Needs Assessment
- Identify skill gaps and training needs.
- Define learning outcomes aligned with business goals (quality, productivity, safety).
2. DOJO Design & Setup
- Create a simulated training zone with tools, visuals, and modules.
- Develop content based on SOPs, quality standards, and lean practices.
3. Training Delivery
- Conduct structured sessions combining theory and hands-on practice.
- Use role play, job simulations, and visual aids for faster learning.
4. Evaluation & Certification
- Assess skills through tests and practical demonstrations.
- Certify employees as “DOJO-trained” for specific job roles.
5. Deployment & Continuous Learning
- Deploy trained employees on the shop floor with confidence.
- Run refresher modules to sustain skill levels.
Benefits to MSMEs
- Within 30 Days → Work-Ready Workforce
- Increase Productivity by 20–30%
- Reduce Rework & Quality Issues
- Faster Adaptation of New Hires
- Stronger Culture of Continuous Learning
Conclusion
A DOJO Training Module is not just about skill training—it is about building a workforce that delivers results quickly. For MSMEs, where every day and every resource matters, DOJO ensures that new employees are trained, confident, and productive in record time.
With our expertise in DOJO implementation, we help MSMEs create a structured, standardized, and effective training ecosystem that accelerates growth.
