Training and development is very crucial to the employees, the organization and their effectiveness. The organizations have long understood that their most valuable asset is their human capital and many are convinced for large investments in employee training and development. It is an undisputed fact that effective training is an investment in the human resources of an organization, with both immediate and long –range returns. However mere investment is not enough; firms need to manage training programs more effectively so that they can get the highest returns from their investment. Training holds the key to unlock the potential growth and development opportunities to achieve a competitive edge. In this context, organizations train and develop their employees to the fullest advantage in order to enhance their effectiveness. Performance of an employee is a dependent factor on variables like knowledge, skill and abilities. Training and development provides employees required knowledge, skills and abilities to do a job. Training is a tool to fill the gap and the firms should use it wisely to improve employee productivity.

Systematic and timely training and development of employees is crucial to attaining optimal performance in both the private and public sectors. This study examines the extent to which employees' training and development enhance employees' performance in the Gombe State Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Development. The study adopted a survey design with a questionnaire and unstructured interview as the instrument of data collection. The study has a population of 271, out of which 155 was sampled through stratified and random sampling techniques. Data were presented using tables and simple percentages, while chi-square was used to test the research hypothesis. The study found no significant difference among the staff in the perception that training and development does not support employees' performance in the Ministry as training and development programmes are not being organised for staff. The study also established that the Ministry's leadership had not shown a good appreciation of the critical role of regular training of staff in enhancing employees' performance. The study recommends, among others, a change in the disposition of the leadership of the Ministry and the Office of the Head of Service to the training of staff through the development of mechanisms for establishing employees' skills deficiency; and requesting the Government to make a budgetary line for staff training in the State's yearly budgets.

Training of employees is an integral component in the work of Human Resource Managers. The dynamics of the ever changing working environment call for Human resource managers to invest in the development of employees so as to ensure that they perform better to achieve organizational objectives and empower them to make the best use of their natural abilities. The Government of Kenya has given prominence to training as a major vehicle to help in the attainment of the provisions of Vision 2030. As such it spends 500 million Kenya Shillings to train Public Sector employees. The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of training on performance in the public sector. It specifically sought to find out the effects of orientation training, refresher training, skills development and career development training on performance. This study explored literature relevant to the specific objectives and provides a critical review of the same. The research design was a case study of Government Training Institute, Mombasa. A case study was preferred as it provided the opportunity for an in-depth analysis of the entity under study. The research targeted all 104 employees. Stratified random sampling was used. 50% of respondents were drawn from each category of employees namely Management, Lecturers and Support Services. Questionnaires, personal interviews and document analysis were used as instruments of data collection. Data was analyzed quantitatively and presented using tables, graphs and bar charts. Qualitative data was presented using narratives. During the entire exercise the researcher exercised a high degree of responsibility, respect, honesty and confidentiality. This study established that new employees were inducted into the organization even though the provided guidelines in the Civil Service Induction Handbook 2006 were not expressly adhered to. It also revealed that employees were provided with opportunities for refresher training even though such opportunities were not as regular as most employees expected. The research also established that employees of the institute were accorded chances to undertake skills development training programmes although this was not based on any Training needs assessment. Finally the study found that employees were sponsored for career development training programmes although such initiatives were hampered by inadequate allocation of funds. It is concluded that all this training initiatives positively improve employee performance. iv The study recommended that: new employees should be properly inducted into the organization in line with the provision of the Civil servants Induction Handbook, regular opportunities be availed to employees for refresher courses, a training needs assessment be undertaken to ensure that employees pursue relevant courses and additional sources of funding be explored to ensure more employees pursue career development training program

Training and development activities are a crucial exercise in any organisational set-up. It has attracted intense debate and scholarly attention in the human resource management arena over the years. However, its application to public sector has received little attention. This paper attempts to rectify this position by considering training and development as a tool for employee performance in the district assemblies in Ghana. In a sample of fifty (50) full time staff members of Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly, the research revealed direct relationship between training and development and employee performance (r = 0.3347, p = 0.030). Also the results from the data analysis indicated that significant relationship exist between training and development and job satisfaction (r value (0.3338) is greater than p value (0.0307)). Finally, the study revealed that management and employees faced peculiar problems during training and development exercises. Management complained about funds whilst employees’ expresses concern about the time allotted to various training and development programmes.
