Training
Q1.)How does training differ from development & education? What is the role of training & development in learning? 1. Training
Training tends to be job or skill specific. Besides being specific to a particular job, training is also more likely to be a physical endeavor than education. Training entails the practical application of education, and thus requires actual movement and motion. For example, a medical student will obtain knowledge from classroom education, but will ultimately receive his training when he is interning at a hospital. Training is about gaining the skills needed for a job. These may be learned at the place of work (on-the-job) or away from work (off-the-job). On-the-job training tends to be more cost-effective and relevant. However, off-the-job training is usually carried out by professional trainers. It also occurs away from the distractions of work. Training tends to have very specific and measurable goals, such as operating an IT system or till, understanding a process, or performing certain procedures (for example, cashing up.
2. Development
Development is the realization of potential. Education and training can play instrumental roles in a person's development. Becoming fully-developed in a particular discipline is a goal. Training and education are means towards achieving the goal. The achievements which result from education and training are thought of as being measures of how much one has developed. At the same time, the more developed an individual becomes, the higher the level of education or training he may receive. Development is more about the individual – making him or her more efficient at a job or capable of facing different responsibilities and challenges. Development concentrates on the broader skills that are applicable to a wider variety of situations, such as thinking creatively, decision-making and managing people. In short, training is typically linked to a particular subject matter and is applicable
