Corporate training essentially speaking is a method of professional development activities meant to educate employees on appropriate corporate behavior. These training and development programs are known by different names such as “human resource developments” or “learning and development”. Though different organizations and institutes put forth different name for the same process, “learning and development” is the most commonly used name. Corporate training programs were developed for employees to improve their skills and acquire new ones within the framework of their own companies. Employees learn newer and better ways of doing things, which in turn results in more efficiency in the workplace.

Corporate training essentially consists of three parts only which are training, education and development –

·         Training- This activity focuses upon a job that a person/employee currently holds and is also assessed against it.

·         Education- This particular aspect focuses on the positions or jobs that an individual is capable of or may hold in the future. The evaluation is also done likewise.

·         Development- This is essentially tuning an individual to the specific needs of the company and also certain activities that the firm or the individual may be a part of in the future. This can be vaguely ascertained but never properly determined

Corporate training programs are a win-win situation for all parties involved. Owners get better proficiency from the workforce while employees of all levels get the benefit of adding to their own skill sets on career improvement.
