HRM $224$ Training and Development Project $$ Develop a Training Program The purpose of this graded $3-$part training project is to develop, from start to finish, a training program, which includes creating a needs assessment, training proposal, and training manual. Students will select an existing business and then develop a relevant training topic for a specific department for that business. The training program to be prepared should be original. It can be on a subject that you are presently involved with or one that you feel needs to be taught to specific persons. Do not take an existing training program and just make minor modifications. It is important to remember that you should utilize the stages required for the development of training programs discussed in our text$/$weekly modules for the project.
