                     TRAINING 
AND 
DEVELOPMENT
What is Training and 
Development?
Training and development refer to the processes and activities that organizations 
undertake to improve the knowledge, skills, and abilities of their employees.
Training typically refers to the process of imparting specific skills or knowledge to 
employees to perform their current job tasks more effectively. It can take many 
forms, such as classroom training, on-the-job training, online training, and 
mentoring.
On the other hand, development focuses on improving an employee's overall 
abilities to take on new challenges and assume greater responsibilities in the 
future. It involves a broader range of activities, such as leadership development, 
career planning, job rotations, and coaching.
Both training and development are crucial for organizational success as they help 
employees acquire the necessary skills and knowledge to perform their current 
roles effectively and prepare them for future roles and responsibilities.
