Introduction:
Training programs support new staff as they learn the rules of their titles and help new staff stay acknowledge in their field. It is necessary to develop a training program that meets the needs of both staff members and the organization, and carry on the organization growing and changing for the better. This section will assist you to think about how to plan and run a training program for all the people in your team. In general, staff members are far more similar actually to use what they get from a training program if they have at least some control over it. It makes sense, for instance, for those actually working in the field to decide what they need to do better, or what they need to understand more about in order …show more content…
WHO SHOULD BE IN CHARGE OF THE TRAINING PROGRAM?
This question really refers to two different kinds of running a training program. The first is that of who really manage the program (who determines the subject matter, frequency, and form of the training). The second is that of who conducts the training itself. The two may be, but need not be, the same person or group.
There is actually a third facet to running a program as well: coordination. Someone has to be responsible for scheduling, communication, finding outside presenters if necessary, etc.. The question of who coordinates in this way may or may not be less loaded than the others. A member of the support staff might, in fact, coordinate training as part of his job, or the director might insist that she be the training coordinator. However your organization does it -- and having the responsibility rotate among staff members is a possible answer -- it's absolutely crucial to have effective coordination, usually invested in a single person. Without it, a training program will get lost in loose ends and unfinished …show more content…
In a large organization, there might even be a training coordinator for each department, or for each group of services.

• A special staff member or group of staff members.
• All staff collectively (including administrators and support staff).
• Staff and other interested parties, such as participants, who may have knowledge of the training needs of the organization.
• An outside facilitator or organization.
CONDUCTING THE TRAINING
In different ways, deciding who will conduct the training is simpler than deciding who will control it. Possibilities are a program or training director, other staff members, outside presenters (including participants and other community members) or organizations, or some combination.
There is also the possibility here, if the exception of initial training, of individual staff members planning and developing own programs. See the material below on training contracts for one way this can be
