Training Proposal

For your Unit 6 assignment, your task is to develop and propose to management a one-day (maximum 8 hours) training session for which you are the trainer. 

There are two components of this assignment:

· A training proposal 

· A training plan

Then, for your Unit 7 assignment, you will design one of the individual training modules.

First, you will select the topic of the training program.  You may pick one of the topics below or use one of your own ideas:

· New Hire Orientation 

· Cybersecurity 

· Harassment Policies 

· New Software Training 

· Customer Service 

· Communication 

· Health & Safety Protocols

Part One – The Training Proposal 

Make a business case through a detailed memo to your HR Director (or other relevant leader) for how a training program can support the organization and address the needs gap. Please use articles and resources provided during our course to support your proposal.  You must use at a minimum 3 sources.

Your memo should be no less than 500 words and no greater than 750 words.   

Part of the challenge of this assignment is to express yourself clearly and succinctly in your communication to management.  

Here is the outline for your memo:

· What is the learning need?  

· How will this learning benefit the organization as a whole? 

· Who are the learners?  What is their background?  What do they already know? 

· What do the learners need to know?  Summarize the content of your training program. 

· What is the delivery method?  What resources will you need?  What is your timetable?   

· What will learners be able to do at the end of the session? 

· How will you evaluate the effectiveness of your training program?

Part Two – The Training Plan 

To begin, use the template below to give a short description of your course. 

In 3-4 sentences, introduce your company by describing its business focus. Identify which training topic you selected.  Develop a brief course description. Managers often refer to a course catalog (internal or external) to determine which courses are available, who should attend and what trainees will learn. In a short, single paragraph, describe your course.

· Company Overview: Introduce your company by describing what its business focus.

· Training Topic: Identify which your training topic.  Be as specific as possible.

· Course Description: Describe your course.

Then, develop the outline of your training session.  Please use the table below as a template or create your own that includes the information in the table below.

Your training day is limited to a maximum of 8 hours (including any breaks) and it is recommended that you limit your training modules to 3 in the morning and 3 in the afternoon.

Each module should include a short description and the time being allocated to it.  It should be easy for the reader to determine if the modules that you are presenting will cover topics that will meet their needs and in the depth they are looking for.

1. Include modules for the introduction and conclusion and all required breaks 

2. The timing of each module should make sense; you only have one day (8 hours) so you may need to limit what you talk about. Don’t try to fit it all in.
