Page | 6 Executive Summary Training and development programs are the basic structural and functional foundations for the development of the employees. Training and Development programs are the framework for helping employees to develop their personal and professional skills, knowledge, and abilities. Knit &Textile is the one of the biggest business sector of Bangladesh. A numbers of studies have been conducted regarding financial condition of knitting industry but no research has been conducted regarding training and development of employees and workers of knitting industry. What types of training they are getting, and what type of training should be provided. The primary purpose of the study is to have a thorough understanding about the training and development in knitting industry of Bangladesh. Beside this examine the current training and development program of knitting industry and to evaluate the employee performance after getting training session. In this study I have used Orion textile, Rahim Textile and Salek textile as the sample and took interview of 30 employees of these 3 companies. After taking interview I have come to know that Orion textile provide in-house training, in country training, overseas training. Beside this take training need assessment to understand which employee needs training, when it is needed and how it should be provided. Salek and Rahim Textile are sister concern that’s why they have same training and development process. They are providing following training programs. Salek and rahim textile provide attitude adaptability training, Time management skill training, problem solving skills training, communication skill training, communication skill training, and leadership skill training. I have also provided some recommendation at end of the report. Knitting industry should diversified their training programs rather than focusing on professional trainings. Training and development should be flexible and friendly. There must be a clear relation between training electiveness and strategic goals of the organizations. The Textile companies should increase their training budget. Because without a big budget the companies would not be able to introduce modern technology in their training system. I conclude that all the training and development programs of company are highly effective & beneficial to the employees in giving their best contribution to their personal growth & development as well to meet the organizational objective

3.1 Training &Development: Bangladesh is the famous name of RMG (readymade garments). In our country textile sector is play a very important role in our economy. In that competitive business environment; human resource is play the important role of any business like Knit & textile. For the superior manpower and for the superior productivity training works like a wheel. In this competitive world, training plays an important role in the competent and challenging format of business. Training and development of employees is critical in organizations in this era of competition due to the fact that organizations need to survive, grow and develop. Training is considered as the process of upgrading the knowledge, developing skills, bringing about attitude and behavioral changes, and improving the ability of the trainee to perform tasks effectively an d efficiently in organizations (Wills, 1994; Palo et al, 2003; Robert et al, 2004. Stewart (1996) combines the two concepts of training and development and gives an organization function which has the outcome of ensuring that the contribution of individuals and groups in achieving the organizational objectives though the development of appropriate knowledge, skills and attitude of the employees. Training and development play an important role in the effectiveness of organizations and to the experiences of people in work. Training has implications for productivity, health and safety at work and personal development. All organizations employing people need to train and develop their staff. When a person hire for an organization he/she must need a training to know about how to perform good in that organizations. Rapid changes in technology, products, and business application make it necessary for need training & development of their employees. 3.2 Purpose of Training: Training is the remedy of the company.

In the changing phase of the market, all organizations have a number of opportunities to grab and number of challenges to meet. Some short of purpose of training are given below: Page | 18

We live in an information age today, and organizations are routinely valued not just on their physical but on their intellectual capital. Training is one of the chief methods of maintaining and improving intellectual capital, so the quality of an organization’s training affects its value. Untrained or poorly trained employees cost significantly more to support than well-trained employees do. Training affects employee retention and is a valuable commodity that, if viewed as an investment rather than as an expense, can produce high returns. There are numerous sources of online information about training & development. Several of the sites suggest reason for supervisors to conduct training among employees. Training and development programs are the basic structural and functional foundations for the development of the employees. The advantages of training & development are given below:  Increased job satisfaction and morale among employees.

The design of a study defines the study type like descriptive, co relational, semi-experimental, and experimental, review, analytical etc. Descriptive research describes data and characteristics about the population or phenomenon being studied. As this study describes the training and development of knitting industry of Bangladesh that’s why this report is descriptive in nature. 4.2 Levels of Data collection: Data collection is a vital part of every research. The levels of data collection can be classified mainly into primary and secondary types. Secondary data has a lot of advantages that primary sources may not be able to offer. The report is mainly based on primary data. Some secondary data has also been used in this paper. 4.3 Sources of Data: Primary Data Sources: Primary data are those, which are collected directly from the field or base level. I have taken interview of executive members of 3 knitting industry of Bangladesh data centers of and I have conducted these interviews shortly after conversations of interest. The interviews are neither formal nor structured. The general strategy for the interviews is to start off with broad questions and follow upon the interviewee’s responses, to capture his/her meanings. Beside this I have surveyed on employees of this 3 companies to gather the information and to do this an questionnaire has been used which is being attached in appendix part. Secondary Data Sources: Secondary data is collected by someone other than the user. Secondary data analysis saves times. It is almost impossible to conduct a new research without secondary data. In this study, the secondary data has been collected from the text books and websites.

As it helps the researcher to carry on his work in clear notation and confidence and to delete or add certain in the questionnaire to improve the quality of the research work, a pilot study has also been conducted before conducting the field survey. 4.7 Field Survey: On the basis of the final questionnaires, field survey has been conducted. As mentioned earlier I have gone to 3 Kiting Company to collect data. 4.8 Processing of Data After collecting the data from different sources, the data has been processed in the light of the research topic. Data processing includes editing, coding, classification and tabulation. 4.9 Editing:

6.1 Conclusion: Trainingand development programs play a vital role in every organization. These programs improve employee performance at workplace; it updates employee knowledge and enhances their personal skills. Training and Development programs improve the quality of work-life by creating an employee supportive workplace. Textile Industry is a very big business industry in Bangladesh. Bangladesh is considering the world second country in the Ready Made Garments (RMG). Knit is also major raw materials of RMG.World’s most of the bands are making their dress from Bangladesh. So it’s very competitive market. In that market if anyone wants to success they need skilled worker. If the organizations provide necessary training to their employees they can increase their productivity. This study was a learning experience for me and I came to know the training and development programs in Orion Kint& Textile Ltd, Rahim & Salek Textile Ltd was positive in response but still more training and development is needed in that three textile industry so that the employees are motivated time by time and they should know their strength & weakness so that they can work on it & improve their knowledge & skills for the betterment of their organization. In the last but not the least I conclude that all the training and development programs of company are highly effective & beneficial to the employees in giving their best contribution to their personal growth & development as well to meet the organizational objective Page | 41 6.2 Limitations: I have tried my level best to make this report an effective one but due to some limitations I could not make this study as rich as I wanted. The limitations are:  There are around 2500 knitting company operating in Bangladesh. If I were able to collect data from all these knitting companies, then the study would become more informative.  Those who agreed to be my respondent did not give all the information I asked for and they also did not allow me to gather in depth knowledge about them.  Most of the companies were not interested to be my respondent and fill up the questionnaire

42.
 Many companyare not interested because they want to maintain privacy Page | 42 about their valuable information  Most of the respondent are busy because of their work they didn’t give the time properly to collect proper information. 6.3 Recommendations: These are some recommendations through which Textile industry may be beneficial:  Training development format should be friendly and flexible.  HR department of the textile companies should diversified their training programs rather than focusing on professional trainings.  There must be a clear relation between training electiveness and strategic goals of the organizations  The Textile companies should update regularly their HRIS that is Human Resource Information Systems software.  Approaches used to train employees should be selected after careful consideration of the trainees and organization needs.  To motivate and encourage the trainee’s adequate allowance should be provided to trainees during the training period.  The Textile companies should increase their training budget. Because without a big budget the companies would not be able to introduce modern technology in their training system.
