MGMT 4304– Training and Development
Semester Project
By completing this project, you should have a much better understanding of the role that
training and development plays in the workplace. You should be able to identify the
types of training and development needed in a workplace as well as the benefit of
providing them. You should also be able to measure the benefits using standard
business metrics.
The project involves finding all of the types of training and development needed for the
type of department that you have selected during class. You must research the types of
training and development programs found in the industry, identify their costs, and its
intended function and possible outcomes. You should also note their successes and if
possible, companies that employed the training and development.
You must explain how the organization will benefit by integrating the training and
development program, how long it takes to implement, who it will benefit, to whom it will
be offered, as well as what management problems or issues it will help solve or
improve.
You must identified at least five problems or issues from your chosen field and find
adequate training and development programs to help resolve them.
