Unleash Project Efficacy Proven Training System

Training is the significant approach for human resource development which creates new skill in employees and contributes in achieving organizational objectives. Project Management training is extremely mandatory for improving the performance of development projects for accelerating the socio-economic development of Bangladesh. Kirkpatrick's (1996) four levels of training evaluation model which are reaction, learning, behavior and result was utilized for the evaluation. The book stated that the trainees provided positive response about the training arrangements and management of NAPD, they have gained sufficient knowledge about the different modules of the Project Management training courses, the trainees developed the capacity to demonstrate the improved job behavior in their respective workplaces and they could apply the gained knowledge appropriately in the workplaces and most of them utilized the specific knowledge of Project Management in different phases of development projects. The study identified that there are significant positive influences between reaction and learning, learning and behavior, behavior and result, result and training effectiveness which satisfies the research hypotheses and conforms to the Kirkpatrick's (1996) four levels of training evaluation. It can be conferred that Project Management training courses organized by NAPD are considered to be effective. The major implication of this book is that the extended version of Kirkpatrick model-reaction to learning, learning to behavior, behavior to result, and result to training effectiveness proved in this study-will adds a new horizon in the training effectiveness evaluation knowledge domain.
