Key Differences between Training and Development
The major differences between training and development are as under:
1. Training is a learning process for new employees in which they get to know
about the key skills required for the job. Development is the training process for
the existing employees for their all round development.
2. Training is a short-term process i.e. 3 to 6 months, but development is a
continuous process, and so it is for the long term.
3. Training focuses on developing skill and knowledge for the current job. Unlike,
the development which focuses on the building knowledge, understanding and
competencies for overcoming with future challenges.
4. Training has a limited scope; it is specific job oriented. On the other hand,
development is career oriented and hence its scope is comparatively wider than
training.
5. In training, the trainees get a trainer who instructs them at the time of training.
In contrast to development, in which the manager self-directs himself for the
future assignments.
6. Many individuals collectively attend the training program. Development is a
self-assessment procedure, and hence, one person himself is responsible for
one’s development.

Q: Discuss the possible impact of international assignment of
employee’s career growth?
When deciding on whether to accept an international assignment one of the main
questions to ask is ‘will it add any value to my career?’s
International assignments are thought to contribute to one’s global mindset and global
leadership competencies, they help to build a worldwide social network of colleagues,
and provide a range of new career responsibilities. All these plusses suggest that
international experience is valuable, and should therefore lead to career advancement.
Consequently, in line with the widespread perception of international assignments as
career boosters, international assignment a positive impact of expatriation on career
advancement. Specifically, employees studied different variables related to
international assignments (e.g. length and number of assignments) and their influence
on career progress, which was measured in terms of the time that the executives took to
be appointed to the CEO position from the start of their career. Intriguingly, most of the
hypotheses were not supported.
In other words, the more assignments one has completed and the more time one has
spent outside the home organization, the slower is career progress. The main
explanation for these findings may be that international experience removes a
professional from his/her headquarters’ social networks. This is consistent with other
research that suggests that employees who are more central in a firm’s social network,
who occupy more central positions in the organization and who have greater access to
resources and information will advance faster
These results call for several actions to be taken by both the individual and the sending
organization. For example, the authors suggest that during the assignment expatriates
should ‘select someone in the home organization to provide them updates in the
headquarters, visit the home office frequently and encourage visits from headquarters

5. personnel, in order to stay active in the social networks of their employer’. On the part
of the employer, it is advisable that companies implement more effective career
management of repatriates. This will create a win-win situation when dealing with
long-term assignments, as these are usually more profitable for organizations than
short-term assignments and expatriates will be more willing to stay with the
organization upon repatriation. Moreover, it is recommended for expatriates to put the
terms of their assignment (e.g. benefits, return date, type of job available upon
returning) into writing before departure – although it is clear that these are not written
in stone and could still be modified.
In addition, the results show that the more international assignments an executive has
completed in organizations other than the current employer, the more time it takes to
reach the top. The researchers conclude that assignments at different companies slow
down one’s path to the top more than assignments at the same company. This suggests
that expatriates need to stay active within professional associations, so that they can
more easily change employers upon return if necessary.
The earlier the first international assignment occurs, the greater is the career benefit.
Assignments that started at later stages of one’s career were found to be detrimental to
the speed of ascent to the top.
Thus, when answering the question ‘do international assignments add value to one’s
career?’ the study findings should by no means be interpreted as negative. The results
imply that international assignments do add value to one’s career, although under
several conditions. The scholars sum up that ‘while it is important for professionals to
obtain international experience, those who embark on fewer assignments, have
assignments that last for a shorter time (1 year or so) or gain international experience
by staying in the company headquarters and periodically visiting foreign divisions may
reach top positions faster’.
