The effective training and development of employees is critical for the sustainability and growth of organisations. This unit will provide you an understanding of the role of human resource training and development (T&D) function in an organisation, as well as the underlying concepts and principles upon which T&D is based. You will gain knowledge and skills to evaluate T&D needs, recommend appropriate interventions, evaluate T&D outcomes, and experience the role of a trainer and a trainee. The unit will also provide you an overview of contemporary developments in the field of T&D and the role of T&D in broader management and organisational strategy.

Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.

Feedback from SUTE comments and data

Students are generally happy with the assessments, consistent and friendly communication, resources and contents.

The authentic assessment, consistent communication and resources and textbook updates should continue.

Feedback from SUTE comments and data

'Distance' students generally found it difficult to attend or view the two-hours weekly virtual workshops and additional assessment support.

The important assessment related additional support and interactive short videos should be posted in the relevant section of the assessment tile and students missing the critical assessment instruction videos should be individually notified about the resource location using SAM and CQU Success.

Feedback from SUTE comments and data

Some students could not identify the exemplar for each assessment and specifically asked for an exemplar for assessment 3 to be added.

Exemplar should be provided for assessment 3 and the video presentation demo should be included in the relevant assessment resource folders in an easily identifiable manner.
