  Plans laid down in the recent government White Paper, Employment for the 1990s emphasise the increasingly important role training now plays. Companies, organizations and government are recognising the need for adequate, consistent and long-term investment in training for the work force at all levels. Written especially for newcomers to the training function, those in large organizations who spend a short period in training as part of their career path and students preparing for IPM and ITD qualifications, this handbook examines all the major training issues including: training objectives, the role of training in organizations, theoretical models of training (Ekstand, Mager, Gillbert, Gagne, Romiszowski, etc), proactive and reactive assessments of training needs, training strategies and training methods, validation, evaluation and assessment of training.
