Training, development, and career management are no longer in the category of “nice to do”; they are now a “must do” for companies to gain competitive advantage and meet employee expectations. The Fifth Edition of Employee Training and Development will equip students with a solid background in the fundamentals of training and development in order to meet the demands of today’s global work environment.
