Defining the training goals

Abstract

There is still a tendency for firms to embark on a training programme with no clear idea of the criteria to be used in cases where performance cannot be judged by exams. John Forge and John Thompson discuss some of the factors which should influence training objectives and suggest ways to ensure that employers are not saddled with trainees who can't or won't “stay the course”.
