YOUR FIRST TASK IS

-CONDUCT A TRAINING AUDIT, WHETHER IT IS A IT/ITES CO.

-INCLUDE BOTH TECHNICAL / SOFTSKILLS FOR THE EMPLOYEES/MANAGERS.

ONCE THE TRAINING AUDIT , REST OF THE STEPS SHOWN BELOW

ARE EASY TO FOLLOW.

================================

Training Audit

Overview

In our experience, a training audit or needs assessment is a critical initial step in solving performance problems or introducing new initiatives.

Assessments help determine exactly what the top employee-development priorities are so that training resources are focused and support the achievement of organizational goals and strategies.

Training needs assessment is critical for organizations to improve the ability of individuals to perform their jobs. This approach will analyze and document the developmental needs of the employees within the organization.

Process

The Needs Assessment will:

Identify organizational goals

Define optimal performance

Describe actual performance

Identify performance gaps

Identify barriers

Recommend solutions

The process will involve the following steps:

1. Clarify the purpose of the assessment

2. Decide what to assess

3. Decide how to assess

4. Prepare a project plan

5. Collect the data

6. Interpret and report the results

=====================================

THE TRAINING AUDIT REPORT

[ ITEMS IN ** MARK ---JUST AN EXPLANATION FOR THE TERMS USED.]

Executive Summary

Introduction

Background & context

Objectives

Scope of the project

**Genre of Training

[The training needs assessed by this survey are concisely limited to those which fall into

the category of “existing and emerging technologies”. This is interpreted as job-specific

technological skills and know-how,plus SOFTSKILLS , in that it applies to training which impacts directly on

the aspects of the job role. ]

**Target Staff Group

[The scope of the project has been clearly defined and includes ALL technical /support

staff across ALL departments of the COMPANY.

These will be referred to throughout this report as the “target staff group”.]

**Research Design and Methodology

[A survey comprising two data-gathering consultation techniques could be designed and

implemented. The first technique is a questionnaire, designed specifically for this

project.

second technique , a semi-structured interview designed to tease out deeper views and provoke

ideas. The survey aimed to capture the experiences, perceptions, requirements and

suggestions of as wide a representative sample as possible of the target staff group, and is

designed to lead to formulation of recommendations which will meet the needs of all staff

within the target staff group.



Firstly, “bottom-up” analysis in the form of a questionnaire to be sent to the target staff

group, seeking detailed, personal (but anonymous) experience and opinions.

In addition, training records, job descriptions and other data was accessed from

department records where appropriate and where available.

Secondly, “top-down” analysis – in the form of a semi-structured interview - comprising

consultations with “key” personnel – these were members of staff with some

responsibility or involvement in training, or purely an interest and/or previous

involvement in training and staff development. Key personnel may be within or without

the target staff group, and included Department Managers, Department Training Officers,

senior managers, including CEO.

The information collected SHOULD BE a mixture of qualitative and quantitative data. ]]
