The executive management team (EMT) of a Fortune 500 telecommunications corporation identified several key initiatives that were critical to enhancing its global competitive strategy. This transfer resulted in an initial 673% return on the training investment to the corporation, with implications that an anticipated annualized return of 808% can be realized, given continued support and stable external factors.

The growth of construction industry in Malaysia is stimulated by various mega infrastructure projects. Due to this, the competent construction workers become the catalyst in realizing the goals. Using mixed method approach in explanatory research, this study aimed to analyze the training needs based on 300 Indonesian construction workers’ competency. Findings showed that there are significant differences between knowledge and skills possessed by the Indonesian workers, based on two types of training; theory and practical. However, the training on skills is considered critical as it is a need for the Indonesian workers to fulfil the job requirements in Malaysia.

The article reflects the results of the needs analysis for training of engineering and pedagogical workers of construction educational institutions of the Kyrgyz Republic, based on the methodology for assessing the professional competencies of engineering and pedagogical workers for the compliance of their knowledge and skills with the criteria for performing work laid down in professional standards in the Specialty and in Pedagogy. It was revealed that there is a certain gap between the necessary (by professional standards) and available professional competencies of engineering and teaching workers. The methodology under consideration will allow the management of educational institutions to constantly monitor the level of professional competencies of engineering and pedagogical workers, to identify the missing competencies of engineering and pedagogical workers, and to form an individual trajectory of professional development.

Abstract Background Continuous professional development (CPD) has been reported to enhance healthcare workers’ knowledge and skills, improve retention and recruitment, improve the quality of patient care, and reduce patient mortality. Therefore, validated training needs assessment tools are important to facilitate the design of effective CPD programs. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted using self-administered questionnaires. Participants were healthcare workers in reproductive, maternal, and neonatal health (RMNH) from seven hospitals, 12 health centers, and 17 dispensaries in eight districts of Mwanza Region, Tanzania. The training needs analysis (TNA) tool that was used for data collection was adapted and translated into Kiswahili from English version of the Hennessy-Hicks’ Training Need Analysis Questionnaire (TNAQ). Results In total, 153 healthcare workers participated in this study. Most participants were female 83 % (n = 127), and 76 % (n = 115) were nurses. The average age was 39 years, and the mean duration working in RMNH was 7.9 years. The reliability of the adapted TNAQ was 0.954. Assessment of construct validity indicated that the comparative fit index was equal to 1. Conclusions The adapted TNAQ appears to be reliable and valid for identifying professional training needs among healthcare workers in RMNH settings in Mwanza Region, Tanzania. Further studies with larger sample sizes are needed to test the use of the TNAQ in broader healthcare systems and settings.
