Why do you need this service?
A DOJO training centre creates a safe environment for learning standards, practising tasks and onboarding employees away from the pressure of ongoing production.
DOJO training centre – practical onboarding and competence development
A well-designed DOJO reproduces critical operations, risks and quality requirements before an employee starts at the actual workstation. An instructor can therefore teach the standard, observe progress and correct the way work is performed without creating losses in the real process.
We connect the training centre with employee onboarding, TWI instructions and instructor development. Further methodological context is provided by eTWI.
We treat the DOJO training centre as part of a competence management system. After launch, we help define standards for using the space, updating training workstations, assessing employees and conducting regular audits.
What is our role?
- We help design and build a DOJO space tailored to the organisation.
- Together with your team, we create thematic corners for Safety, Quality, 5S and TWI, with practical materials and training games.
- We design the structure and training path for employees, integrating the 70:20:10 model and TWI Job Instruction.
- We prepare DOJO instructors and trainers to deliver training based on TWI standards.
- We provide methodological and operational support at every stage of designing, building and launching the centre.
- We help monitor and improve onboarding effectiveness after the DOJO Room is launched.

Implementation support
We provide support based on the Kata process, which allows us to adapt our activities to the specifics of your organization, taking into account the jointly set goals. The Kata process consists of four key elements that enable effective implementation of assumptions.
We operate according to PDCA
P
PLAN
- Analysis of the current onboarding process and identification of areas for improvement.
- Definition of DOJO implementation goals (e.g. reducing adaptation time, standardizing training, improving quality).
- Adaptation of the DOJO concept to the structure and needs of the organization.
- Planning the content and functions of each corner (Safety, Quality, 5S, TWI).
- Planning the role of DOJO trainers, instructors, and line leaders throughout the process.
- Development of the implementation schedule and role distribution.
- Preparation of a toolkit to support onboarding (e-learning, checklists, Smart Onboarding, etc.).
D
DO
- Creation of the physical DOJO Room space in the plant (e.g., adapting a room or designating a specific zone).
- Building the four key thematic corners (Safety, Quality, 5S/Kaizen, TWI).
- Developing and placing educational content and preparing games and practical simulations in each corner.
- Creating or updating TWI work instructions as a training base in the TWI corner.
- Preparing teaching materials: videos, checklists, guides, interactive exercises.
- Conducting pilot onboarding training sessions using the new center.
- Training DOJO instructors and trainers according to the TWI methodology.
- Facilitating interaction between new employees, trainers, mentors, and other team members.
C
CHECK
- Collecting feedback from training participants (surveys, interviews, feedback sessions).
- Monitoring performance indicators: onboarding time, work quality, retention.
- Assessing knowledge and skills levels after completing the DOJO (tests, observations).
- Verifying the quality of work of DOJO instructors and trainers.
- Comparing the effectiveness of implementation with the previous onboarding model.
- Identifying challenges and barriers in the teaching and adaptation process.
A
ACT
- Modification of the DOJO training program based on analysis and participant feedback.
- Improvement of educational materials, demonstration workstations, and practical games.
- Continuous development of DOJO trainers’ and TWI instructors’ competencies.
