The document discusses training, development, and the differences between the two. It defines training as imparting skills for a particular job, while development exposes employees to general subjects and attitudes aimed at self-improvement and preparing employees for higher positions. Some key points made include:
- Training focuses on increasing current job-related knowledge and skills through methods like on-the-job and off-the-job training.
- Development has a longer-term focus on acquiring skills for future roles and responsibilities, often for management, through behavioral techniques.
- Both training and development benefit organizations by improving performance, quality and growth opportunities, and benefit employees by facilitating promotion and career goals.
