1. A computer-implemented operational training support method for a work unit comprising a work vehicle with an implement for working material, the method comprising:
identifying a current operating mode from at least a first operating mode and a second operating mode, wherein each operating mode corresponds to a respective operator skill level;
in at least the first operating mode, comprising an operator training routine:
monitoring input signals corresponding to current values of respective positions and/or work states for one or more actuators associated with working of material by the implement;
ascertaining one or more operational performance metrics for the positions and/or work states, or combinations thereof, of the one or more actuators based at least in part on the identified operating mode; and
automatically generating output signals to cause audible and/or visual alerts via an operator interface associated with the work vehicle, based on a comparison of the current values with respect to the operational performance metrics.
