Machine Learning Engineer & PhD in Computer Science, Duke UniversityLook back on your own training process for inspiration. Harish Chandran, the Engineering Site Lead for AI research company DeepMind, say: "The best way to train new employees is to have a really good onboarding experience and thorough documentation. Think about your training, including what worked for you and what didn't, and brainstorm potential solutions to any problem points. Use that information to create a knowledge base that would be beneficial for a new hire. Then, if you can, try to plan for the employee to spend their first month or so learning that information."
