D. Training Program Evaluation

A core competency of any T&D department is designing effective training. The foundational principle of this competency is a thorough understanding of the training design process. The training design process refers to a systematic approach for developing training programs (Noe, 2013, p.7).” There are varying schools of thought on the training design process. In fact,

The evaluation of training consists of a reaction, learning, behavior, and results. Results determine how much the trainee liked the program. Learning outlines what facts and concepts were learned. Behavior determines if the program had an effect on the behavior(s) of the trainees. And results highlight what was accomplished as a result of the program, i.e. reduction of turnover or cost. Evaluating a training program allows for an employer to identify and correct areas in which improvement is needed. In order accomplish company goals employees must be trained effectively. Training cannot be an afterthought; it should be planned and implemented correctly. Career Development Strategies

I was hired as a Training Specialist I for Cardinal Bank in September of 2014. I believe part of my success in landing the job was because of new theories I had learned in the Human Resources Development program.

Training plans need to support the goals and objectives of the company while also following established policy and procedures. Four guidelines are offered for training professionals on planning collaborative interventions that are more likely to affect business objectives are develop a theory of impact, reframe the point of evaluation from proof of evidence, isolate the effects of training, and establish accountability for training (Bernardin & Russell, 2013). Naturally, the training plan for customer service representatives will include the methods of how to perform the expectations of the position. Of course, the instructor should set the tone of training at the beginning for the importance of providing superior customer service while

In-service training shall be executed according to a complete and well-ordered plan that consist of goals, objectives, strategies, activities, materials, assessment plan and program evaluation processes that are well defined and coordinated with each other. In making sure that the process of channelling knowledge becomes reality, the methods used in presenting in-service training should be appropriate with the needs of the participants. Through the process of andragogy, an adult can gain knowledge more effectively. This is based on theory that adults have higher level of self-development effort and learning through

The first step in developing an effective evaluation plan for any training program or other educational endeavor is to establish what specific learning outcomes the program or education is supposed to provide (Spaulding, 2009). At the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, the fifty employees that will be evaluated probably have a range of knowledge and skill information related to the proper method for recording and reporting as well as actually performing various aspects of their jobs. The program evaluation can take the form of simple computer-based testing for certain learning outcomes, but should probably include some practical observation and analysis, as well (Kirkpatrick, 2008;

The four levels of training are balanced through the core logic in accordance with learning which can answer the crucial questions challenged by the program (Kaufman, & Keller, 1994, p. 373). The four levels of evaluation are: (1) satisfaction: to what level did the stakeholders react satisfactorily to the learning experience; (2) to what level did the stakeholders acquire new learning or enhanced awareness and comprehension based on the learning experience; (3) to what level the stakeholders employ what they acquired from the learning experience on the job (4) to what level the intended outcome happen as a result of the learning experience (Kaufman, & Keller, 1994, p. 327).

The literature on evaluation of training has been dominated by Kirkpatrick’s evaluation model (Kirkpatrick 1959). Under it he defined four levels at which an organisation should assess their training programme.

A training program that is well-designed is proven to achieve maximum results and meet the training needs identified during a training needs analysis. A well-executed training program will increase overall productivity and provide the knowledge, skills, and attitudes the employees need to perform successfully. This paper presents considerations for the design of a two-phase training program for existing employees – a two (2) day program, which covers the training needs to move the company in the right direction.

Putting together an effective employee training program can be a monumental task if not planned properly. There are four steps, repeating to produce a continuously better program that is best for both employer and employee. The process steps include needs assessment, design, implementation, and evaluation. Once it is evaluated, it should then show some weakness that should begin the cycle again with needs assessment and

4.2 The impacts of development of the competency movement on the public and private sectors

Arguably, one of the most vital elements in the design of an effective training program is a thorough analysis of the training needs of an organization. With the amount of financial resources required to invest in a high quality training program, it is imperative that organizations do their due diligence in revealing the learning needs of their staff. A needs analysis can also differentiate between issues where training is an answer, and those challenges in which training is not a solution. All of these factors are addressed in a proper training needs analysis and all of them aid in the development of a highly effective and customized learning program.

This training programme aimed to teach a four year old Labrador retriever cross (named ‘Poppy’) to lie on her side and ‘play dead’ in response to the command “Avada Kedavra”. The phrase comes from the celebrated ‘Harry Potter’ franchise, in which it was a curse that killed the unfortunate recipient. Such a task was achievable as Poppy already knew the “lie down” command and was trained to imitate death from this position. Though the objective of this programme doesn’t have any extremely pragmatic applications such as “sit” or “stay” does (these were commands this dog already knew), it certainly possesses great entertainment value.
