The present study, following the results of a qualitative study that investigated the explicitly expressed, the felt (but not explicitly expressed) and the latent training needs of the computer science teachers of the Heraklion region of Greece, has questioned all computer science teachers in Greece (5865) to confirm or not the qualitative study results. This has resulted in the largest survey that has taken place for Greek computer science teachers training needs and the only one that is competency-based as far as teaching and pedagogical training needs are concerned. The aforementioned properties of the study enable the design of a three modules (Subject knowledge - Teaching methodology - Pedagogy) training program with explicit training goals; a training program that leaves little mismatch between training needed and training provided.

The research investigates how these skills can be utilized to developing the needed skills in the marketing employees. The study has worked to outline the extent to which talent Management improves competitiveness and how easily it can be taken up as a practice by the employees themselves. Qualitative method was employed to examine the mentors across three European companies using depth interviews. The research indicated that the training is a more integral entity and should be part of the training plan devised based on individual training needs assessment. Furthermore, new employees can be introduced with greater ease into the workplace when a coach or a mentor is in place. Finally, individuals who have themselves chosen their coach or mentor have a better professional outlook.

BACKGROUND: Human resource development in sustainability is a prerequisite of enhancing the success of any organization. Education for sustainable development has been recognized as a key process to support employees’ skills development to positively reoriented their behavior to the sustainable development values and principles. In the article context, based on a synthetic literature review for charting the sustainability taxonomy, there has been created a first general inventory of topics needed to be considered for designing a training program in the field. OBJECTIVE: The objective of the present paper is to identify the general Qualification Matrix defining the training program for sustainability management (based on a training needs assessment study). Furthermore, the research will demonstrate how the training program could be tailor for the case of “management position” research variable. METHODS: First method applied in the study include a synthetic literature review for charting the sustainability taxonomy (creation of comprehensive inventory of topics needed to be considered for designing a training program for sustainability management). Second, based on the sustainability taxonomy, a questionnaire was designed and used in a survey for the training needs assessment. The research sample consisted of 207 respondents, potential trainees that are employees of different companies (from Austria, France, Romania and Slovenia), with a balanced structure of management position and distribution of age. Predictive Analytics Software (PASW, developed by IBM, formerly known as SPSS) for statistical processing has been used for statistical data analyses. RESULTS: The study results have indicated that the most appropriate training methods to be used in the sustainability management training program consists in a combination of: “Theoretical knowledge + examples of good practices + exercises + individual projects”. The process of tailoring the sustainability management training program has been demonstrated for the case of “management position” research variable (with three sub-categories of respondents: top managers, middle and low managers and professionals with no management position) and was based on the defined Qualification Matrix (consists of 5 training units and 19 training elements). CONCLUSIONS: The research have valuable contribution in the field of human resources development, particularly by offering a concrete solution in designing and tailoring a training program for sustainability managers started with the training needs assessment and the Qualification Matrix definition.

Abstract Objective – Legal Aid Queensland Library Services plan, design and deliver a training program comprising seven individual components including induction training, individual instruction, group training, and regional office training. The program is guided by a formal, detailed training plan developed by experienced library trainers. Training needs assessment however has been informal and infrequent. Library Services commenced a formal training needs analysis (TNA) in 2014. It was designed to gather evidence for decision making around future training activities. Methods – The TNA was comprised of five quantitative and qualitative components: analysis of catalogue and knowledge management database usage statistics; analysis of paid subscription usage statistics; analysis of library reference and research request data; work shadowing library clients; and interviews with selected team managers. Results – Each component revealed different aspects of our clients’ training needs. The results of the TNA revealed gaps in current training and education services, and opportunities for maximizing the effectiveness of our training program. The TNA also provided infrmation about our products and services beyond implications for training. Conclusion – As a result of the TNA the LAQ library has made changes to it training activities, which we believe are now more closely aligned with client needs and organizational objectives than they were in the past.

The aim of the current research is to know the effect of a proposed program for professional development based on modules for science teachers in Islamic high schools in Iraq, and to achieve the research objectives, a list of the teaching performances necessary to develop the teaching performance of science teachers was built, and through those training needs a proposed program for the development of these teaching performances was built based on (Modules), and an achievement test was built to measure the cognitive side and a note card to measure the skill side. The achievement test and the observation card were applied beforehand to the research group, then the proposed program was presented to them, then the achievement test and the observation card were presented to them afterward, and by measuring the differences between the results of the pre and post application of the achievement test and the observation card, it was found that the proposed program is effective in developing the knowledge and skills side of science teachers The research sample, and in light of the research results, the researcher presented a set of recommendations and suggestions.

Training needs assessment is an ongoing process of gathering data to determine what training needs exist so that training can be developed to help the organization accomplish its objectives. Conducting needs assessment is fundamental to the success of a training program. Often, organizations will develop and implement training without first conducting a needs analysis. These organizations run the risk of overdoing training, doing too little training, or missing the point completely.
