Great! You have a test email in your inbox. Please let me know the training names and dates in an Excel along with their scheduled hours or any other related information.
I would also appreciate it if you could draft a rough so that you can have a better understanding of the final sheet.

The real trick in framing a training calendar is to get to the real needs of employees and managers. A common complaint I hear at the end of the year is HR staffs spending a lot of time and resources delivering a calendar with hardly anyone turning up to the various sessions.
Be careful to focus on real training needs and not training "wants". Yes, ask supervisors, managers and employees what training they feel they need. But don't stop there. Here are some other important sources of information for you to examine as you construct your organization's training calendar:
-employee performance appraisal documents
-organization’s strategic planning documents
-organization/department operational plans
-organization/department key performance indicators
-customer complaints
-critical incidents
-quality data
I have more information on assessing training needs at http://www.businessperform.com/workplace-training/training_needs_analysis.html Make sure that every item you put on the calendar is going to return more to the organization than it costs.
As you compile and format your training calendar, think carefully about the information that needs to be presented. There is no fixed format for a calendar; however, the calendar should answer the following questions:
What training is being delivered – title, description
When is the training being delivered – date, time, frequency, duration
Where is the training being delivered – location
How is the training being delivered – delivery mode: lecture, workshop, elearning
Why is the training being delivered – learning outcomes/competencies delivered
Who is delivering the training – internal trainer, external vendor
And don’t forget to include details on how to register and contact details.
I trust this helps.

Hi Shweta,
Please see the attached file which may help you. Actually, every year we set a target of 30 training hours per employee. You need to adjust the training needs to suit your organization.

Dear Shweta,
Training and Development has been my area of interest and specialization. I have been handling Training and Development for over 100 organizations.
To start with, you need to review the KRA/KPA of the employees. These factors would directly affect their appraisals for the next year. Therefore, employees should find the training and development program arranged by employers useful.
Secondly, conduct a needs analysis or a small research (via questionnaire or survey) to determine in which areas employees require training.
Subsequently, you may design training programs to take place twice a month (on Fridays or Saturdays) or as per your convenience. The most crucial aspect should be linking the training programs properly - a clear link should be established between past and future training programs.
This approach will help you in designing the calendar. If you have any further doubts, feel free to reach out to me!

Hi Shweta,
When framing a training calendar, you should always keep in mind that your calendar reflects your identified trainings. The calendar should focus on learning outcomes, program objectives, topics to be covered, duration, and the targeted audience. Once you have prepared a manual for this, you can divide your training programs into four main quarters.
Most importantly, you can divide your calendar into two main areas: technical and behavioral. For technical trainings, you can gather inputs from performance appraisals, have direct discussions with supervisors, and conduct interviews with employees. For behavioral trainings, you can cover topics like time management, the effects of absenteeism, induction programs, team building, self-development for better quality of life, important employee traits, and improving communication and interpersonal effectiveness, among others.
