You have been asked to undertake a needs analysis about the growing problem of sailor retention as the instructional designer for the US Navy. New sailors are only doing one contract and are getting out of the Navy after 5 years. Since retaining sailors is essential to keeping a robust and skilled workforce in the Navy, the need is urgent. Compose a detailed response reflective of the activities included in the steps common to a training evaluation, as reflected in models such as the Barksdale and Lund Rapid Evaluation (2001). Compose a detailed response reflective of the activities typically included an evaluation strategy, as follows:

Evaluation Strategy
