The Corporate Training Programs are progressively gaining popularity due to its lasting impact on the employees being trained. Whether the program is a general induction of recent joiners or current employees with some experience. Corporate training helps in developing knowledge and skills, boost the confidence to perform better in the assigned job.
Corporate training are mostly designed around the identified problems within the employees which need to be addressed through Training Need Assessment. This can be done for a particular location, for a particular job or for the entire organization. The problem that needs necessary training may be analyzed and identified. The analysis involves collecting information about the problem so that its causes can be determined. It also requires determining an appropriate standard which should be met and solved.
After analyzing the problems, suitable solutions are determined. If training is the solution or part of the solution, the particular training needs are identified. According to it combination of skills and knowledge required session is organized.
The world around corporate training has changed. What worked twenty years ago doesn’t work well in the social, always-on, networked world of business we now inhabit.Industrial organizations are morphing into collaborative organizations. Traditional training is broken and needs to get back in step with the times and several new models are evolving to implement trainings in the organization.
The investigation of training needs is the assessment of the people involved. The purpose of this is threefold: first, people are likely to be more committed to training (who are interested to learn) if they have played a part in identifying the needs themselves; second, it is often necessary to assess the current level of required skill and knowledge among the target group of employees. The basic educational levels and literacy and language skills must be known so that appropriate instructional methods are applied. Surveys are used to assess a number of these variables. If they are used, however, care is taken to ensure individual confidentiality.
Once the training needs have been clearly identified, the next thing is to set priorities and objectives. Considering the relative urgency of various training needs, taking into account the factors to make it work. The next consideration is to decide on the mode of the trainings most popular being Classroom Training or Online Training. Once the training scope, training modes are identified the next step is to decide to conduct the program through in-house resources or to outsource the same to some competent training vendor or corporate training company like InnoServ Solutions Pvt. Ltd. operating from Pune & Mumbai (www.innoservsolutions.com )
The conclusion of the corporate training program is that the participants are able to implement the learnings they achieved through the training program and perform as per the job requirements of the assigned role.
