For your project, write a 10-15-page paper in which you complete the following:

Given the scenario presented for CapraTek in the simulation you viewed, identify the training topic, and explain why the employees would required to participate in this training. Explain how the training will meet the strategic needs of CapraTek.

Identify the specific objectives for this training program. What will the trainees need to know or be able to do?

Select an appropriate training needs analysis method for the scenario. Apply the selected method to identify the following:

What the trainees should know pre-training. (Provide your source for this.)

What the trainees already know and how you will uncover this (test, interview, questionnaire, et cetera). Share a sample of the questions you would use.

Recommend a design for your training program, including the following:

Resourcing for the instructor: Internal or external, and why?

Location of program: What type of setting-off site or on site? Why?

The timing of the program: How long will it be? Will it be completed all in one session or over time in partial sessions?
