Do you have a Training Plan?
The Employer Skills and Services team at Liverpool Community College can assist.
A Training Plan is a written document which amongst other things describes a business’ training requirements and
its objectives.
It has many functions, from securing external funding to measuring success within your business as a result of the
activity.
Don't worry about whether you completely understand key terms in training or whether your plan is "perfect" or not.
- The key is to get started.
- Start simple, but start.
- Do the best that you can for now.
- There is no perfect plan.
- You're doing the plan according to your own needs, the needs of the business and individuals
Also, it's not important to stick to the Plan for the sake of the Plan.
The Plan is likely to change as time progresses. That's fine, as long as you notice that it's been changed and why.
Remember that Training and Development is a Process
So often when we design a Plan, the Plan becomes the end rather than the means.
- The Plan is a general guide; the real treasure found from implementing your plan is the learning you achieve.
- Learning is an ongoing process.
Areas to consider when producing a Training Plan:
- Preparation for Designing Your Training Plan
- Determining Your Overall Goals in Training
- Determining the Learning Objectives and Activities
- Developing Any Materials You May Need
- Planning Implementation of Your Training Plan
- Planning Quality Control and Evaluation of Your Training Plan and Experiences
- Follow-Up After Completion of Your Plan
