ABSTRACT
In today’s competitive business environment, Training and Development has become a valuable activity in all organisations in which Koforidua Polytechnic is no isolation. It is therefore incumbent on Koforidua Polytechnic to pay much attention to training and development of its workforce to enable it compete with other educational institutions. The main purpose of this study was to examine the effects of training and development on performance at Koforidua Polytechnic.
Data was obtained from a total of 202 administrative staff of the Polytechnic comprising Senior Members, Senior Staff and Junior Staff using structured questionnaire and interviews. Both primary and secondary methods of data collection were used and Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 16 was used to analyse the data. Result from the study indicates that training and development should be organised for all staff and not for selected staff, selection for training and development programmes must be transparent and above all management must support it with funds.
Results from the study reveals that majority of staff have undergone training and development programme and that the training was related to their job. A large number of them also thinks that management support has been a major challenge to training and development programmes. It is recommended that management pay much attention to training and development issues since it would help the Polytechnic to be abreast of new ways of doing things.
