For this task, Traci has asked you to develop a training plan for your client. This task requires you to develop an effective learning process that aligns with the chosen business's organizational strategy. You also consider how to use a needs assessment to identify areas of learning opportunities, and then select the appropriate training methods to optimize training effectiveness.

Developing a training plan, from needs assessment through the evaluation strategies, is important to ensure your workforce is receiving the knowledge and skills necessary to best perform its duties.

E-mail from Traci

I need you to work together again. Like last time, I'll need you to select, as a group, one client to work with. You'll need to check my communication with the client to get some information you'll need to complete this task.

Your task is to develop a training plan for the client. In your plan, consider the following:

• Training methods
o Types of media
o Learning principles
o Training for learning skills or facts
o Effectiveness of methods

It's important that you also provide rationale for your choices.

Your training plan should be no more than 850 words. Keep up the hard work, team!

Thanks,

Subject: Training Plan

Hey Traci,

Thanks for the performance management strategies you sent over. There were some great recommendations given. I'm excited to see what your team can come up with for a training plan. I know there are a lot of variables involved, but one of my concerns is about the cost of the training plan.

Just keep in mind that we have an annual net revenue of $10,000,000. That will change, though, because we're expecting -3% revenue growth the first year after the expansion. You'll probably also need to consider that we plan to increase our current workforce of 650 by 20% with the expansion. Oh, and one more thing: our annual turnover rate is 20%, and we expect that to stay the same over the next year.

If your team could come up with an effective and efficient training plan, that would be tremendous.

Thank you so much,

Marylee Luther
