Introduction

For this assessment, you will create the initial design of your  training and development program for an organization of your choice,  including the selection of a training topic, developing a working needs  analysis, and identifying learning objectives.

Note: The assessments in this course build upon  each other to form a training and development program, so you are  strongly encouraged to complete them in sequence.

What trainees take away from a training and development program depends on three critical components:

• The trainee’s characteristics: how they learn, what they already  know, and their motivation to learn the material being presented.
• The training design: the program itself.
• The work environment.

Since workplace training deals with adults, being well versed on how  adults learn is key. There are many theories on adult learning, and  they come from a variety of sources including psychology, education, and  sociology. Another focus in your program design should be on learning  styles. We learn in different ways—some of us listen and some take notes  for example—and trainees will learn best when they know the objectives  of the program. The outcomes of learning are wide-ranging, including  verbal, intellectual, and motor skills, as well as cognitive strategies.  To transfer what is learned in the training environment to the job  environment, the training needs to be authentic—as real and identical to  life and as meaningful (useful) to the trainee as possible.

Preparation

In preparation for this assessment, you are to select an  organization to use as the one receiving a new training and development  program. (Note: The organization can be real or  fictitious.) Consider the needs of the organization to select a training  topic, or you may use the Capella library to research training topics.

Requirements

For this assessment complete the following:

• Create a training scenario for your training topic. Consider the following for your scenario:     
  • Describe the training topic in general terms (such as improving communications or safety awareness).
  • Why is this training needed?
  • Assess the strategic impact of the training topic on the  organization. (Think in terms of the long term impact of the training  program.)
• Develop a training needs analysis (TNA) for your topic.  
  • Identify what the trainees know or what they can do before the training.
  • Identify what the trainees should know or be able to do after they have completed the training and development program.
  • Summarize the results of your research or provide a set of the questions you would ask SMEs if you were to meet with them.
• Develop 3–5 specific training objectives for your training topic. (Hint: Using Bloom’s Taxonomy,  create your objectives based on what you have determined the trainees  should know, or be able to do, after attending the training program.)     
  • How would a distance learning module enhance a trainee’s learning experience?
