Developing employees through training and career development

Pay is important to many people entering the workforce today, but there's something else that young people tell us is as important, if not more so, the opportunity for training and development. Why is this so? Because lifelong learning is no longer a luxury, it's a necessity. Young people can expect to have eight to 10 jobs by the time they reach their mid-30s, and they can expect to be laid off three to four times by the time they reach their mid-50s. Training and retraining is essential to maintain skills.

What is training? It's a planned program designed to improve your performance, whether you're working individually or as a member of a team. Consider just a few of the many benefits of training. Training can sharpen your technical skills, build your knowledge base, improve the ways you interact with managers, customers, and other employees, promote greater innovation, allow you to practice so you can perform at constantly high levels, and convince you that you can perform well in your career.

Let's say you're trying to learn a new skill.
