Training Needs Analysis & Annual Training Plan
Plenty of annual training plans are assembled from whatever courses managers happened to hear about, then squeezed into the levy balance before it expires. This one-day programme replaces that with a proper analysis. Participants run a needs analysis at organisation, job and individual level, separate the gaps training can close from the ones it cannot, build a costed and sequenced annual calendar, map it to the HRD Corp schemes that can fund it, and set up evaluation that shows whether the spend changed anything.
Programme Agenda
What a TNA Is and When Training Is the Wrong Answer
Performance gap analysis before solution selection. Ruling out unclear expectations, broken process, missing tools, wrong incentives and wrong person in the role, all of which survive any amount of training.
Organisational Analysis
Starting from business strategy, growth plans, new systems, regulatory change and restructuring. Reading capability requirements out of business plans, and finding the mandatory compliance training your industry already obliges you to run.
Task and Job Analysis
Breaking a role into tasks and the competencies each requires. Building or borrowing a competency framework, defining proficiency levels, and using the National Occupational Skills Standard where a relevant one exists.
Person Analysis and Gap Assessment
Collecting individual data through appraisals, self-assessment, manager input, skills matrices and observation. Turning it into a heat map that shows where gaps cluster, and distinguishing a widespread gap from three vocal requests.
Prioritising and Costing the Plan
Ranking needs by business impact, risk exposure, urgency and population size. Choosing the delivery method for each need, including e-learning, coaching and on-the-job routes. Building the calendar so it survives contact with operational reality, and costing it fully.
HRD Corp Levy, Schemes and Documentation
How the levy and utilisation work, which scheme fits which need including SBL-KHAS, and what a grant application actually requires. Sequencing approvals against the 14-day rule, and keeping documentation that stands up to audit.
Evaluating Whether It Worked
The four Kirkpatrick levels and what each is realistically worth. Designing assessment beyond a happy sheet, following up at 60 and 90 days, and choosing the small number of metrics you will actually track.
Workshop: Build Next Year's Plan
Participants work through their own organisation: needs by level, priority ranking, delivery methods, a draft calendar, a cost estimate, the funding route per item, and evaluation measures. Peer review of the assumptions behind each priority.
