Proficiency in Training and Development is a skill that is inconsistently taught in school or on-the-job. Employees are often placed in these positions with very little formal training. They generally excel in their knowledge of the subject matter, are personable, or are good communicators; however their knowledge and skills in training are mostly acquired on their own by trial and error. As a result, they use their common sense on what seems to work. This creates a serious gap in how employees in organizations are trained: Is the training truly effective? Is it consistent across the organization? Are business needs and results being achieved?
