Experiential Learning (70%)

In the 70/20/10 learning model, the 70% refers to the percentage of learning that occurs through hands-on experiences or on-the-job learning. This means that the majority of an individual's development comes from practical, real-world experiences and challenges they encounter in their day-to-day work.

At Carhartt, the 70% component of the learning model is emphasized through various initiatives:

On-the-job assignments: Carhartt provides associates with meaningful projects and tasks that stretch their capabilities and encourage problem-solving. This practical experience helps associates develop relevant skills and knowledge within their roles.

Cross-functional opportunities: Carhartt encourages associates to take on temporary assignments or projects in different departments or teams. This exposure broadens their understanding of the organization and fosters adaptability.

Stretch assignments: Associates are given opportunities to tackle challenges beyond their current scope, which helps them develop new skills and build confidence in their abilities.

Feedback and coaching: Regular feedback and coaching sessions provide a learning-rich environment where associates can learn from their experiences and grow professionally.

Through these initiatives and a focus on experiential learning, Carhartt ensures that its associates are continually learning and evolving, enabling them to thrive in their roles and contribute effectively to the company's success.
