Generally, the result indicated that Veta-Mbeya had training and development program that exist, that means the training program was well planned and systematic. In addition all interviewed employees were aware of the existence of training and development program in the organization. Insufficient fund, the need of staffs to attend training which are not beneficial to the organization, low weight of top management support, high training fees from the training institution and rapid change of science and technology were the factor hampering the implementation of training program. However, the training itself had a positive impact on the performance of the staff and the organization.
Therefore, it is recommended that, Veta-Mbeya should consider training and development as a continuous process and therefore succession of the program needs a bridge between two parties that is employer and employee. Also, the top management should prepare enough budgets to support training and development of the staffs, the effectiveness on budget preparation will ensure that all the staffs required to be trained, acquire the program at appropriate time.
