Today, we are discussing the concept of training. Can anyone tell me what comes to your mind when you hear the word 'training'?
I think of learning new skills for my job.
It makes me think about... like onboarding for new employees.
Great points! Training refers to improving employeesβ job-related skills, knowledge, and competencies. It's critical for enhancing performance in their current roles. A simple way to remember this is by using the acronym 'SKILL' - S for 'Skills,' K for 'Knowledge,' I for 'Improvement,' L for 'Learning,' and the last L is for 'Leadership.'
So, training should help us do our jobs better, right?
Exactly! Now letβs delve deeper into how training differs from development.

While training focuses on current skills, development is broader. Can anyone share their thoughts on what development might involve?
Doesnβt it include preparing for future positions or roles?
Yes! It feels more like a long-term investment in employees.
Exactly! Development prepares employees for future responsibilities. A mnemonic to remember this can be 'FUTURE' - F for 'Future,' U for 'Understanding,' T for 'Training (Later),' U for 'Up-skilling,' R for 'Readiness,' and E for 'Enhanced Potential.'
So, development is like planting a seed for a future tree!
Great analogy! Both training and development are essential in any organization.

Now that we've covered both terms, how do you think they relate to one another?
I see training as short-term fixes, while development is building for the future.
Yeah, and they complement each other well. Without training, you can't effectively develop someone's potential.
Absolutely! Training improves current performance, while development prepares employees for whatβs coming ahead. Remember the phrase: 'Training is for now. Development is for the future.' This encapsulates their relationship perfectly!
That makes sense! It's all about growth.
