Train the Trainer

Introduction

All organizations and their enlightened managements have begun to realize that people do NOT learn effectively by passively consuming information. It is a waste of training money and yields low return on investment. And training by professional houses is quite costly. So the best option could be to train and prepare own resources which can take care of the company’s training needs. That is, there could be a scenario where internal managers and supervisors are equipped to train their own people in a better and more cost effective manner. And this has generated a cost effective need to train managers and supervisor how to train their people. Hence, this proposal to meet such a need.
