Training and DEVELOPMENT subject

The ABC Training Program The ABC Corporation has been engaged in the manufacture of electronic components for automobiles for the last 5 years. The company employs 350 employees and about 30 supervisors and managers. The increase in technology requires the employees be sent to trainings to cope with the increasing demand for updated new products consistent with the demand of local and foreign customers. The HR manager suggested that 3 of the managers and 8 supervisors be sent to the mother company in Japan for updates in technology on car electronics. The Vice President and the Operation Manager are to handle the operations while they were away for 2 months. They suggested that technicians from the mother company to be invited instead to handle the training in the Philippines.

How will you evaluate the effectiveness of this proposed training program? 3. Will you encourage management to support this company's training in Japan? Why? Why not
