HRM561 Developing Training Capabilities (8)
Abstract|
This subject provides a theoretical foundation for the core learning and development functions, and the knowledge, skills and judgment needed to apply behavioural, cognitive and adult learning theories to develop students' training capabilitites. Theories and practices in conducting training needs analysis, designing training programs, selecting and using training methods, utilising training technologies, and assessing and evaluating training activities are examined. Students are expected to integrate these theories and practices in the design and justification of a training program based on a critical evaluation of workplace needs. |
