Training Needs Assessment And Evaluation Of Training

Statement of Need

Most organizations embark on training on the basis of supply-driven, what is available in the market or who has not attended training recently i.e. who’s turn is due? Unfortunately, these organizations don’t undertake a thorough needs analysis. As a result, the same organizations end up training a lot of their employees without a corresponding rise in performance.  Even when training is the correct response and the programme is the right one, few organizations attempt to check how effective the programme was. Further, is there any impact? This practical programme provides the latest methods and tools to be able to complete the two most important areas of the training cycle – Training Needs Analysis (TNA) and Evaluation. Participants will be able to demonstrate the added value of training activities. In the current era of financial difficulties, these are the two areas that will really make a difference to any training function.
