The purpose of Training

The real purpose of Training and Development

Surely the real purpose of all developmental activity is to ensure the continued evolution of the Human Race. All developmental activities right from education to training to learning has the growth and development and ameliorisation of the human race as a underlying motif. Therefore those among us who have the privilege to access developmental initiatives of any manner should be very conscious of our onerous responsibilities.

To treat developmental opportunities as a way to acquire an additional degree or certificate or add another medal to the breast pocket or worse as just an office routine is a criminal waste of an opportunity given the problems of the world, most of which are man – made and hence can only be unravelled by human kind.

To take the ubiquitious training programmes that are offered across the board by sundry bodies including in – house programmes offered by Organisations; don’t they quickly degenerate into mere powerpoint and paper and populism ? Given the fact that rarely do such programmes result in any tangible benefits to society at large, have we ever pondered at the sheer waste of the initiative ? Unfortunately neither trainer nor trainee sees the subtle meaning underlying the whole excercise !

If you take a training programme to upgrade technical skills for example ...... is it not meant to upgrade technical skills so as to provide as an outcome cheaper, efficient, better, more convenient and so on products, services and ideas to mankind ? The ideal thought process behind such an initiative is surely not banal profit but the benefit of the society and environment, outside the narrow confines of the work space or the classroom ..... because that is the real world where significant impact is expected! Because that is your world and, my world and the world of our succeeding generations ! Reader Comments
