ASSIGNMENT

Training Needs Analysis

In Unit 2, you chose a topic around which to practice the steps in creating a training program. For this assignment, use the topic you chose to perform a training needs analysis in order to identify gaps in trainee knowledge and identify the objectives for the training program. In a 2–4-page paper, complete the following:

·         Describe the topic you have chosen to develop for your training program.

·         Describe how this training topic links to the overall strategic plan of the organization and how this training topic will provide overall value to the organization.

·         Describe what a training needs analysis is.

o    What should the trainees know or be able to do upon completion of the program?

o    Identify your sources.

                        Identify methods for determining what the trainees know or can already do prior to training.

o    How would you make use of individual employee analysis?

o    If you use a test, survey, interview, or questionnaire, describe the information you will be acquiring.

                        Identify the gaps you believe you would discover in the analysis.

o    Make some assumptions. If you are developing a program for an environment with which you are familiar, these might be based on your experiences; if not, use common sense. These gaps will become your objectives for the training program.

                        Based on your analysis, identify the objectives for the training program.
