Conducting a Training Needs Analysis

After completing the interviews you conduct in the CapraTek: Training Needs Assessment simulation, use your downloaded copy of the simulation results, and write 5–6 pages focused on gap analysis, including its strategic impact on an organization, and your simulation experience for conducting a training needs analysis that is the basis for an effective training and development program design.

For this assessment, you will use the CapraTek: Training Needs Assessment simulation. Using this simulation, featuring a fictitious technology organization, will require you to make some decisions about which employees to gather data from, and about what data to utilize and interpret in your assessment. The goal of developing this data is to drive employee performance in the direction of the organizational strategy.

Note: The assessments in this course build upon each other to form a training and development program, so you are strongly encouraged to complete them in sequence.
