The document discusses training and development in organizations. It begins by defining learning and training. Learning is a relatively permanent change in behavior from experience, while training focuses on providing employees with skills to improve performance.
The training process has four phases: needs assessment, development and delivery of training, training methods, and evaluation. Needs assessment identifies organizational, task, and personal training needs. A variety of training methods are described, including lectures, simulations, apprenticeships, and e-learning. Finally, evaluation assesses whether training objectives and goals were achieved through measures like participant feedback and pre-/post-testing.
