Training vs. Learning & Development
Training is:
 A limited aspect of learning and
development (Baker, 2014)
 One-dimensional offering of data and
information from the knowledge provider to
the learner (Baker, 2014; Boller, 2012)
 The ability to expand progressive skill,
agility, and discipline; consequently, the
more one learns, the better trained the
individual became
