dc.description Recently employee training has become more important to organizations which seek higher performance since there is competition among organizations. The employee training has shown major significance in performance improvement. This study was conducted to assess the training in local government,specifically at Kwimba District Council in Mwanza Region. The sampling techniques employed were simple random sampling and purposive sampling. Simple random sampling was used to obtain respondents from all groups while purposive sampling was used to obtain senior officials such as heads of department (HODs).A sample of 80 people was drawn from the study area. Primary and secondary data were collected followed by quantitative and qualitative analyses with findings being presented in tables, figures and text to simplify interpretation. The study revealed that training has major impacts on performance improvement since it leads to job satisfaction and morale, punctuality and commitment. Also the study revealed that there is weak or no relationship between employee training and turnover since training is motivation for employee to prefer his/her organization and job. Also,it was revealed that employers do prefer employee training but in most cases they do not allow their employees to attend trainings due to budget constraints and lack of training needs assessment. However,the employees maintained that the employers do not prefer employee training by also pointing budget constraints and lack of training needs assessment as . The study recommends effective training needs assessment in order to remove the perception employee training is a means of enriching employee.
