ENDORSEMENTS

In this volume, Jean Barbazette--a true training pro--shares her tips and tricks for conducting a training needs assessment. Theoretically sound, yet infinitely practical, Barbazette guides trainers through each phase of a needs assessment, from starting the process to reporting the data to management. Along the way, she links training needs assessment to larger issues of performance, explains how to gather data from a variety of sources (even when sources are not readily available) and through text and numerous templates and examples, explains how to address each key aspect of the training problem, including the goals to be achieved, jobs and tasks to be addressed, feasibility, the learners, and the learning context. This book is an essential tool for both trainers who need to learn about needs assessment on-the-job and students in academic courses on instructional design, needs assessment, and training.
