CHAPTER ONE

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1  BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

       The impact of training and development programme in a nation cannot be over stated. It is the life wire of every nation. A nation is viable when the employees are competent and qualified to carry out the work assigned to them, which cannot be achieved without training development programme.

       Training and development programme add values to the employees, keep them abreast with new findings, and skills in their various area of responsibility which therefore guarantees the success of the nation.

       Both private individuals are corporated bodies, even the government in the recent past, have learned to invest fortune to make training and development programme a success owing to the fact, the growth of any nation depends on the value or quality of her human resource.

To this end, the government in her contribution establish different agencies including the national orientation agency charged with the responsibility of informing, enlightening and education the masses on moral and contemporary issues through seminars workshops and other possible means.

       However, employee training and development are at the heart of employee utilization, productivity commitment, motivation and growth. Many employees have failed in nation because their need for training was not identified and provided for as indispensable part of management function. Nation and individuals should develop and attain mutual goals.

Modern management has to develop the nation through resource development. Employee training is a specific function and is one of the fundamental operative functions of human resources management.

       Meanwhile, lifetime learning is the role in today’s fast paced global economy. No matter how carefully, job applicants are screened, typically a gap remains between what employees do not know and what they should know. Training is needed to fill this knowledge gap. Employees in the United States spend up to $44 billion annually on training. As large as this amount is it not really enough. How the $44billion is spent is also a problem. Most of it is spent by big companies training already well educated manages and professional. Meanwhile, according to the American society for training and development, some 50 million workers mostly non-professional need technical or their training to perform their current jobs at peak efficiency per work, Japanese and German companies old spread their American counterpart on training and development.

       Formerly defined, training is the process of changing employees behaviour and attribute through some type of guided experience. We now focus on the center and delivery of modern training, the ingredients of a good training, programme and the important distinction between skill and factual learning.
