This assessment requires you to design and develop an in-house training program to address the training and / or development need that was identified from the Needs Assessment in Assessment 2. As a minimum, you will need to include the following information: Organisation – a brief description of the organisation – explain the importance of the training and/or development need that was identified Participants – identify participants – an explaination of the cohort of who need to participate in the program – how would the participants (and the organisation) benefit from the program Program Plan – a detailed plan based on your choice of learning theories – program objectives (no more than four objectives) – schedule and planned activities – method of delivery – instructions for the trainer – feedback / evaluation Resources Required – outline all the resources required that would facilitate design, implementation and evaluation of the program’s success or failure – hand outs, notes and/or powerpoints for trainees – technologies required – location – staff – financial Possible Barriers – management support – perception and participation – finance – conflicting priorities Please be realistic about the scope of the project that you select, and keep this to a manageable level. Whilst it is hypothetically assumed that you will be the trainer of the program, it needs to be develop at a level where any trainers could easily understand and used it for training purposes. You should also explain and justify your choice of various learning theories used to design the program.
