Lesson-76421-1

It is critical to match training content to the experience and skill level of participants. To meet the needs of stakeholder staff, the project offered workshops that were more theoretical and geared toward technical staff and an accredited certificate courses that were more practical to meet the needs of a more general group of stakeholders. The project also made a midcourse correction where it consulted training graduates to ascertain suggestions to adjust future training. Nevertheless, training participants opined that there was a mismatch between training content and the experience and skill levels of the participants. Some technical staff thought the training content was too basic to meet their needs while others thought the content was too advanced. To ensure that learning and its application is maximized, it is important to assess the experience and skill level of participants (i.e., training diagnostic) and ensure that training content meets participant needs.
