I have attached the first part of the project to this assignment. You only have to do the full research paper and the powerpoint.

Final Project and Presentation

OVERVIEW

This final training plan supports the Needs Assessment you did during Week 5. Select an organization where you currently work, worked in the past, or very familiar with. You should have day-to-day access to all aspects of the organization’s training and development department. Do not select a large organization, such as the entire U. S. Army, Social Security Administration or Homeland Defense. Select something more manageable such as an Army Clinic or Maintenance Company and focus on a specific area of training (example: implementing a new voucher form.) Keep in mind that the purpose of your research is to develop an entire training project that includes a five minute presentation that would be appropriate to present to senior management for approval. It should cover all aspects of an organizational training plan, as indicated in the following document:

The training plan is your perception and does not have to be implemented. Essentially, you are developing a training plan through your research. Often very good ideas are never implemented because a training initiative is not considered and a needs assessment is overlooked. Your research will allow you to develop a training plan that is reinforced by your readings in our text, Employee Training and Development and other scholarly resources. Be sure you select an actual defined area of focus that is not too broad.

This assignment requires PowerPoint slides and a Written Plan. Please review the specific assessment and evaluation criteria. There are samples attached on the following links to assure you are on the right track. The two required components include a 10 power point slide show with talking points and a 5.5 page word document with a separate cover page and at least three references (one can be the text).

Use the APA format for this project. If you have any questions on formatting, please see the following link.
