Struggling to Create an Annual Training Calendar for New Employees? Let's Brainstorm Together

Hi all, I am a management trainee. I have to prepare an annual training calendar for entry-level employees of the organization. I don't have any idea. Please help me.

Thanks and regards,
Shristi

Steps to Prepare an Annual Training Calendar

Following are the steps that you should undertake:

1. Identify their departments.
2. Talk to their supervisors, asking what all trainings they require for those projects (soft skills, technical, process, etc.).
3. Put all the trainings in an Excel sheet:

Sl.No. | Training | Trainer | Time | Date | Status

Creating an Annual Training Calendar

To make an annual training calendar, you need to conduct a Training Needs Assessment (TNA). One TNA exercise might provide you with inputs for many training and non-training interventions.

You can do the needs assessment at various levels:

1. **Individual Level** – You would get data about the developmental needs of an individual by receiving feedback from the reporting manager and other stakeholders who interact with that person. The developmental needs might be classified as different, either skill-based, attitude-based, or knowledge-based.

2. **Team Level** – A team might have a specific need that is due to a business or organizational requirement.

3. **Role Level** – For organizations that have a specific competency level defined for each organizational level, there would be role-based needs depending on how managers at that level are currently performing.

4. **Organizational Level** – Organizations might identify certain needs that need to be addressed across levels and locations, and these needs should be developed for each person.

Please find the same. If you need any help, revert to me.

I know you sent the planner to Shristi, but since it was available to all, I also picked it up and had a look at it. I'm a Training Executive in a retail firm. It was nice, thanks. However, I needed to know how I could fill in the information—like what do the checkboxes mean, how can I indicate dates, locations in the same planner, and so on. I guess if you can call me or just list down the steps to fill up the planner, that would be helpful.

Thank you so much,

Hi there, have a look.

First, you will have to conduct a training needs analysis. You can determine training requirements through the performance appraisal system. You can also gather this information through meetings with HODs.

Through these practices, we prepare a training calendar every year. Please see the attached file.

Annual Training Calendar Overview

The annual training calendar provides a detailed plan of the training sessions that will be conducted throughout the year. It is prepared based on the individual development plans established during the performance reviews between line managers and employees. Some training sessions may be requested by the employee, the line manager, or both.

The calendar is compiled for all employees based on their individual needs, considering external and internal factors such as cost, location, duration, and the institution providing the training. A sample format has been attached. Please note that after each training session, feedback is collected from participants and trainers to evaluate the effectiveness of the training.

I hope this information is helpful to you. For further updates, feel free to reach out to us.

Hi All, Good Afternoon! I am handling a Talent Management profile in which I am asked to conduct webinars and seminars every month for all levels of employees in my organization. I have been tasked with creating an annual calendar for these events.

I am facing difficulties in coming up with topics for the webinars and seminars for employees. I have made efforts to generate some ideas, but they have not been as impactful as I had hoped.

I kindly request your assistance in suggesting a list of topics to help me plan an annual calendar with the best topics.

Thanks and Regards, Dilsha
