Training Plan

Components of a Training Plan

A complete training plan contains each of the following six components:

1. Goals that incorporate priority needs taken from the community needs assesment.
   
2. Objectives that are observable and measurable.
   
3. Outline of the design and delivery of training programs or courses: topics/content; methods, techniques and resources; instructor qualifications; training location, etc.
   
4. Detailed cost of the training.
   
5. Evaluation of training.
   
6. Partners who may be sharing costs of the training (e.g. Health Careers, Human Resources Development).

Using a Training Plan Template

Training plan templates are tools that help organize and sequence information for both communities and people who will be reviewing the training plans submitted through your regional review process and/or potential funding agencies. If the information in a training plan is clearly outlined and the template contains well organized information, it can assist you to outline the critical training information that needs to be gathered. The template is one available tool which can be used to guide you through the process of: listing and reviewing essential information; identifying training solutions; and putting in place the training to support your staff to develop the knowledge and skills required to provide quality home and community care services.

Appendix A contains a Training Plan Template which is to be used by your community, tribal council, Inuit association to outline and submit your proposed training plan to your regional review process.

Use Training Plan Template 1 (Appendix A), if you have identified only one training program within your training plan.

Use Training Plan Template 2 (Appendix B), if you are planning two or more training programs.
