Training Needs Analysis

Training Needs   Analysis

Chapter three of the textbook describes the analysis stage of ADDIE. In this step, a training needs analysis is required.  Based on the training needs analysis, describe a training course that could be used for your current job position.  How will the training address the needs of the employees? 

In management career, a manager will come across a moment where implementation of needs assessment has to be done.  “Needs assessment refers is a systematic and detailed analysis to determine what is needed to resolve a performance gap”. (Brown , 2012; Kaufman , Rojas, and Mayer , 1993).A need assessment can show an extend of a certain issue and to plan how to handle that issue. In training function, for instance, this can involve how to analyze an entire “learning “ curriculum needs and priorities to make the foundation of an implementation plan. There are many analysis that are included in the needs assessment process, which involve person, task analysis and organization. The many varieties of analysis will make me aware of particular people that need to be  trained and what to be learnt , involving the content to be trained and skill, knowledge, knowledge and other job requirements.

To conduct a need assessment I would apply interview method. Interview process is one of the best methods to show content of training needs, causes and solutions to any problem. Interview method will be time consuming because workers were only twelve in this company. I would practice autonomy hence there would be honest answers. Interview method will show any unanticipated issues that may come across. In interview method modification of answers can be done.

In organizational analysis, I will collect information to check whether company strategic direction is supported by training and if employees and companies managers encourage the training to continue. In person analysis, I will see the potential of workers , to check their current skills, and know  how and see whether training will improve human capital for organization. In task analysis I will implement questions aimed to job specifics so as check who needs to be trained to improve in their current positions.

I will also go an extra mile like learning or reading  beyond   notes given by lecturers .My personal timetable will also allocate time to write term papers and reports . This will enable me to maintain school work and sustain a better grade and more importantly, it will make me graduate successfully.  

The second S.M.A.R.T. goal would be visit a Webinar and library. By visiting Webinar, I will obtain information which will be used to write good papers. By seeking more information from the library and webinar , I will obtain knowledge which will be useful even  after graduation. New knowledge will be learned through learning more materials found in the library. I will gain good report writing skills by reading more library materials. Motivation will be improved by seeing other learners studying in the library. It will make be improve my understanding of university process
