In Unit 2, you chose a topic around which to practice the steps in creating a training program. For this assignment, use the topic you chose to perform a training needs analysis in order to identify gaps in trainee knowledge and identify the objectives for the training program.

  • What should the trainees know or be able to do upon completion of the program?
  • Identify your sources.
• Identify methods for determining what the trainees know or can already do prior to training. 
  
  • How would you make use of individual employee analysis?
  • If you use a test, survey, interview, or questionnaire, describe the information you will be acquiring.
• Identify the gaps you believe you would discover in the analysis. 
  
  • Make some assumptions. If you are developing a program for an environment with which you are familiar, these might be based on your experiences; if not, use common sense. These gaps will become your objectives for the training program.
• Based on your analysis, identify the objectives for the training program.
