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 Additional Evening Workshops

Additional Evening Workshops

Expand the availability of evening workshops and drop-in sessions to better accommodate the schedules of working distance learners, ensuring they have more opportunities to engage with the content and receive guidance. Students typically work full time so during the day sessions may not allow for max live attendance.

Feedback from Increase Recorded Content Accessibility

Increase Recorded Content Accessibility

Ensure that key recorded segments, such as assessment guidance and Q&A sessions, are prominently featured and easy to locate on Moodle, making it easier for students to access critical information. This is more so around accessibility on Moodle rather than more content. Sometimes it is hard to follow the tab section on Moodle (hard to read).

Feedback from Regular Engagement Reminders

Regular Engagement Reminders

Continue the weekly 'welcome to the week' messages but include more specific reminders about upcoming deadlines, extension options, and available resources to keep students consistently informed and motivated. This works really well.
