Phase II: Training Plans Development

After assessment of training needs appropriate training plans are required to be developed on the basis of assessed training needs of extension personnel. Training plans can be (a) short-term, (b) long term, or both. While an Annual Training Plan is an essential requirement of sound training arrangement it is desirable that training plans are developed in, say, a five year framework. The advantage of developing training plans in a 5 year framework is that management will have a reduced task of undertaking an annual review only, enabling it to devote more time to other aspects of training management, which will enhance the value of training.
