analysis, lack of sensitization of employees on existence of training program,
shortage of training budget, and lack of training programs evaluation; second,
sociological factors, such as; age characteristics, marital status, family
responsibilities and low level of education. To enhance effective improvement of
training programmes it is recommended to;- develop a uniform TNA exercise

scope and objectives; conduct evaluation after every training session and give
feedback to trainees; increasing employee capacity by allocating adequate budget;
implement training function openly and involve every individual in determining the
