Apple (who you are - Software developer) (Team you manage – App management ).

What type of training do your employee needs?

Training of employees takes place after orientation takes place. Training is the process of enhancing the skills, capabilities and knowledge of employees for doing a particular job. Training process moulds the thinking of employees and leads to quality performance of employees. It is continuous and never ending in nature.

Why do they need training?

Training is crucial for organizational development and success. It is fruitful to both employers and employees of an organization. An employee will become more efficient and productive if he is trained well.

Training is given on four basic grounds:

1. New candidates who join an organization are given training. This training familiarize them with the organizational mission, vision, rules and regulations and the working conditions.
2. The existing employees are trained to refresh and enhance their knowledge.
3. If any updations and amendments take place in technology, training is given to cope up with those changes. For instance, purchasing a new equipment, changes in technique of production, computer implantment. The employees are trained about use of new equipments and work methods.
4. When promotion and career growth becomes important. Training is given so that employees are prepared to share the responsibilities of the higher level job.

Determine an instructional scenario where new or revised training is appropriate; where there is an obvious gap between knowledge and performance

Training is generally imparted in two ways:

1. On the job training- On the job training methods are those which are given to the employees within the everyday working of a concern. It is a simple and cost-effective training method. The inproficient as well as semi- proficient employees can be well trained by using such training method. The employees are trained in actual working scenario. The motto of such training is “learning by doing.” Instances of such on-job training methods are job-rotation, coaching, temporary promotions, etc.
2. Off the job training- Off the job training methods are those in which training is provided away from the actual working condition. It is generally used in case of new employees. Instances of off the job training methods are workshops, seminars, conferences, etc. Such method is costly and is effective if and only if large number of employees have to be trained within a short time period. Off the job training is also called as vestibule training,i.e., the employees are trained in a separate area( may be a hall, entrance, reception area,etc. known as a vestibule) where the actual working conditions are duplicated.

Develop a needs assessment instrument.

A proposal was submitted to the Iowa state University Committee on the use of Human Subjects in Research for approval. The proposal was reviewed by the committee, and it was concluded that the rights and welfare of the human subjects were properly protected. A modified, two-round Delphi process was used as a method for instrumentation development for this study. This process is essentially a series of questionnaires, with subsequent questionnaires built upon responses to preceding questionnaires. The methodology used in this study and refered to as a modified, two-round Delphi process is based on a step by step procedure identified by Delbecq, Van de Ven, and Gustafson (1975). A two-round modified Delphi process was used to survey students about their orientation needs, and from this information a needs assessment questionnaire was developed which could then be used to survey students about their orientation needs. The intent of the modified, two-round Delphi process was to: (1) find out what students believed their perceived needs were for summer orientation; (2) to develop individual orientation need items which represented the perceived needs of the students; and (3) to identify orientation need factors. The first round of the modified, two-round Delphi process consisted of the development and distribution of the first questionnaire. The first questionnaire in a Delphi allows participants to write responses to a broad question. For this study, the content of the first questionnaire contained one two-part question. (See Appendix A.) The questionnaire allowed for students to make 10 statements on the left side of the page concerning programs, services, or information new students would benefit from and need the most. This column was labeled "most needed." The right side of the page allowed for students to make 10 statements about programs, services, or information new students would benefit from and need the least. This column was labeled "least needed." On the bottom, right hand corner of the questionnaire students were asked to state their name
