Study of three models of training

Abstract

Training is an organized procedure which brings about a semi- permanent change in behaviour, for a definite purpose. The three main areas involved are skills, knowledge, and attitudes but always with a definite purpose in mind. it differs from education in many ways, for all practical purpose training is aimed at specific, job-based objectives rather than the broader society-based aims of Education. Historically, training was expected to learn their job by “exposure” i.e. by picking up what they could from experienced fellow employees. They were not termed trainees since they were not systematically trained, but, they enjoyed such title as helpers, apprentices, in industrial circles. But this method of learning was haphazard, learning time was lengthy, motivational needs often neglected with the possibility of many incorrect procedures being passed on.
