TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMSBackgroundIn today’s global economy and competition for talent, the Training and Development Program has become an important vehicle for developing and keeping talented personnel. Research findings provide evidence that organization depends largely on training and development program when competition for required talent is intense and findings qualified individuals are quite difficult and expensive.The ever-increasing competitiveness among organizations has motivated ACD to design its Training and Development Programs.ObjectiveThe HRTD Program aims to develop and sustain knowledgeable, skilled, competent and dedicated personnel who will deliver the best services to his/her clients and to help the management meet the school’s strategic goals and objectives to improve organizational performanceOrientation Program for New EmployeesThis organization- wide orientation is conducted to provide the new employees information about the organization, its history, vision-mission- goals, philosophy and objectives, best practices, accomplishments and value statements.

Career Planning and Counseling. The focus of this activity is to help staff with their personal career planning. This involves the establishment of long-and short-term goals and then designing the educational plan necessary to accomplish these goals. Ideally, this would involve a computer data base that would maintain records of the training, education, or development needs of the individual and match individual needs with educational opportunities. 2. Training. These activities focus on the improvement of the actual job performance of both staff and volunteers. Training should be offered so it will be immediately used on the job and primarily in the form of in-service training. 3. Education. The organization should provide an opportunity for employees to take advantage of formal educational offerings at institutions of higher education. These opportunities should be provided to individuals needing large amounts of new knowledge to be able to function in their present position or to become prepared to assume the responsibilities of another position within the organization. This allows the organization to plan for future promotions and for employees to plan for their career advancement. 4. Development. Developmental activities focus on the organization. All organizations must change and grow to remain viable. Extension must provide learning experiences that allow staff to move in new directions required by organizational change. Extension must remain visionary. Equipping staff to meet the needs of a changing world is essential for Extension to be a leader in education, not a follower. 5. Quality of Work Life. Studies have shown that employees are more satisfied, have less turnover, and are generally more productive when they feel that their employer is concerned about them as individuals.
