You have just been appointed as the Chairperson of the President's Council on Training and Development for Corporations in the United States. Your assignment is to give direction and guidance to businesses that are in the process of establishing a Training and Development Department, or who would like to improve the effectiveness of their current Training and Development Departments.

The President has requested a meeting with you to better understand your Master Plan for Training and Development departments. He has asked that you submit your recommendation prior to your meeting.

Your task is to present a recommendation to the President of the United States. Your goal is:

• to impress the President with your knowledge and vision in the Training and Development field
• to influence him to agree with your philosophy of Training and Development
• to influence him to approve your recommendation

Your recommendation should be no longer than five pages, double spaced. It should clearly state your recommendation, provide solid justification for your recommendation, and include high quality information. Think about best practices that could apply to any business regardless of their size or industry.

Finally, think of this as a business recommendation.
