Note: Allow time for introductions to set a tone for the training that encourages participation and interaction. This is an opportunity for the trainer to get a sense of the group's levels of knowledge and experience. Introductions in large groups can be made around individual training tables. Introductions of all participants would be appropriate in small groups.
