Assessment and Evaluation
The use of assessment and evaluation plan is one of the critical tools that I have noted in any training course. The trainers use the tool as one of the mechanisms of meeting the expected benefits from the program.
I agree that closing the loop of an assessment and evaluation program is essential as it measures the ability of a program to equipping the students with skills and knowledge. After the assessment, the trainer should introduce what is needed to be done to improve the program.

Assessment and evaluation program is crucial as it determines the effectiveness of the material delivered to students.
Similarly, it is essential to note that the assessment and evaluation tool is essential in determining the impact of any subject to society.
Therefore, if the assessment and evaluation find the subject not effective, it should be the best time to scrap off the topic.
Assessment
The importance of the evaluation and assessment of the learning outcomes of the program will determine if it is increasing any value on the students or is it a waste of time and resources (Suskie, 2018).
If the data collected in the evaluation suggests that the program is not sufficient and its objectives are not being achieved, then the program can be stopped as it is a waste of time and resources for the institution and the students.
Stakeholders
Though, I think it is essential to include different stakeholders in the assessment and evaluation. One of the critical stakeholders in the society to which the end products (students) are giving.
The article does not introduce the mechanism that can be for assessment and evaluation of the training. The tool for assessing and evaluating would be vital as it would establish effectiveness.
The mechanism should use the students as main participants in the growth of subject through assessment and evaluation.
