This course provides a detailed look at employee training and development in addition to career management. The goal of training is to improve knowledge, skills, attitudes, and/or behaviors as they relate to employees' current position so that they can perform at a higher level. Employee development is the process of building the skillsets employees need to take on additional responsibilities in their current job and/or receive future promotions. Both processes involve careful consideration of internal and external environmental forces and the mission and vision of the company. The course is designed to demonstrate how training, and development are integrated to support the organization's strategic HRM practices as well as how they relate to other human resource management functions.
