Course Description:
Corporations invest over $50 billion per year for training and development programs annually with estimates for increased funding needed for new employees as baby boomers begin to retire. As companies world-wide struggle with an ever mobile work force, the continuous search for skilled labor, and rapid technological advancements, employee training has become a key strategic focus in order to compete in the global marketplace. This course will address all elements of a systematic process for managing corporate training programs that meet targeted business needs including organizational assessments, training budgets, training evaluation, ethical considerations, generational and cultural issues, and strategic planning to name a few. All supervisors and managers need to have a solid understanding of the training process within corporations in order to stay competitive as well as to recruit and retain a highly skilled workforce. Students will be assessed on class participation, group activities, and a final paper.
