Training Needs for Work and Their Role in Measuring the Return on the Training Program A Case Study on the Training Department at the Misurata Free Zone

Abstract

This paper underscores its significance by addressing the important issue of identifying the appropriate training program through which the desired impact can be achieved. It is essential for organizations to consider the quality, importance, and suitability of training programs in relation to the nature of their work in order to bridge the gap between the current situation and the desired objectives or outcomes. The study aimed to identify the type of training program that best meets the training needs of the organization, aligning with the perspectives and nature of work of the trainees, and to derive specific recommendations that the research body should follow to avoid potential obstacles or challenges. A random sample of twenty employees, represented by the heads of departments in the Training Administration at the Misurata Free Zone, was selected. The descriptive analytical method was used to achieve the research objectives related to understanding the role of necessary training needs in measuring the return on investment of the training program. The study’s results revealed a statistically significant relationship between the necessary training needs for work and the measurement of the training program’s return, in addition to the finding that the research body played a role in developing appropriate plans that ensure the proper identification of training needs.
