PROGRAM LENGTH

 

• Set by the LUC Team Leaders and approved by the Director of Quality and Compliance.

 

• Currently six (6) weeks in length.

 

• Early release from the program may be authorized by the Director of Quality and Compliance, upon recommendation of the LUC Team Leaders.

 

• LUCIT’s will not be released from the FTO Program until all FTO paperwork and documentation has been completed properly and submitted to the Director of Quality and Compliance for review.

 

• Program length for Living Unit Coordinators transferring from one section to another, will be dependent on specialization and additional skills required of them to perform in their new position.

​

LUCIT’S ASSIGNED WORK HOURS DURING OJT

 

• LUCIT’s will be assigned five (5) eight-hour workdays per week during their initial OJT period.  Typically, this will be either a 2pm–10pm, or a 4pm–12am shift.  These hours may be adjusted as necessary to ensure that there are qualified FTOs available to train during these time frames.  These time frames have been chosen to ensure the LUCIT is exposed to the busies times of day for an LUC.  These five (5) working days will most likely not be a Monday through Friday schedule.  This will also ensure that the LUCIT gets exposure to FTOs and other LUCs on both rotations.

​

STRUCTURE OF TRAINING PERIODS (observation, retention, reproduction)

 

• Period 1 – Observation Period – The observation period is the beginning period for each phase. It is preferred that the observation period be used for the FTO to demonstrate how the job is done. During this period, the LUCIT will shadow and closely observe their FTO. Direct Observation Reports will reflect “Observation Only” under Reason for No Evaluation. During this observation period the LUCIT may be gradually eased into performing some tasks and details while being closely monitored by their FTO but should primarily watch closely and ask questions. Upon completion of the observation period the LUCIT will begin being evaluated and scored on their performance via the Direct Observation Report.

 

• Period 2 – Retention Period - LUCIT and FTO are working side-by-side with the FTO gradually transitioning duties over to the LUCIT as they demonstrate competence in the performance of their duties and retention of the necessary knowledge to perform said duties.

 

• Period 3 – Shadow Period – LUCIT functions as though they are on their own, demonstrating that they have retained the training they have received and can reproduce what they have been instructed – The FTO will remain with the LUCIT but ONLY as an observer. The FTO will only intervene when deemed necessary to protect the safety of staff and participants, or the security of the facility.  At the completion of this period the FTO will complete either a phase release form or recommend remedial training for the LUCIT detailing the area of training concern to the LUC Team Leader.
