Final Reflection of Training and Development for the Administrative and IT Support

The world is getting advancements and developments through the technology day by day. The whole process of all the fields in the modern world is replaced with technology. Not to go with the flow is the drawback of any individual or the organization. It is mandatory for all to adopt the new developments and technology to compete with the new era of technology. The adoption of these developments and technology is also a critical process for everyone, this transformation needs proper training to get familiar with that of the technology. The developments and training for every field is the demand of this timespan, so, I decided to registered this course to learn the importance of the training and development and the strategies through which the training and development in the information technology and that of the administration is carried out.

After I registered this course, in the starting I was facing the issue of the language understanding and I was no performing well in the class and also through the task work. The professor was very kind and cooperative. I talked to them on my issue and the teacher suggested a better solution to overcome this problem. He told me some online courses and programs to practice and learn the basic language. Acting upon their advice, I was able to eliminate this problem from my process of learning. After this, I performed well in the class as I got into everything from the teacher and that of the class. Next to that, the professor has a wide range of knowledge related to the development and the training, he taught us much aside to the course work related to real-life experience. He kept a solid observation on every student and delivered the lecture according to the student's level.

Besides this, I was new in the course and was not familiar with much of the students and had no friends in the class. That’s also a problem lit bit; I was not much participating in the class activities. Upon this, two of my class fellows and colleagues talked to me and I discussed my problem. Both of them offered me to join their group and I joined with them and got into their social circle. That’s was not helpful for me in course work but also in social life. I have not much background knowledge of this course earlier, so my colleagues me to overcome the gap in the knowledge and I became able to run with the class in the course work. My friends were very supportive and cooperatives, they not only helped me in course work but also introduce me much with diverse cultures. Thus, I have identified many shortcomings and the betterment in myself.

As the course outlines, during this course, I have learned my skills related to that of the development and the training. The development and the training are mandatory for all well beings of all fields, For IT and administrative, It holds strong aspects as they both have to participate much with the humans and guide them through their daily life issues. First, o fall learned the different principles of the training that’s as individuality, specificity, progression, overload, adaptation, recovery, and reversibility (Flandin, 2018). These all descried principles have much significance in daily life and at the workplace for training the development. Before starting the training of a particular group, we should have to know the basic principles that I have learned from this course and will apply to my job.

I have learned much about the training cycles through which the organization is carried out for its development and the training cycle. The training cycle is a set of strategies developed for the training taking from the identifying to the implementation of any of the training procedure. I have come to know the importance of the training and the development of the workforce for the increased revenue and that of the profitability. Proper training has many benefits as that of the lesser the burden of skilled persons, skills enhancements for fresh employees and increases the efficiency and the delivery rate that ultimately effects the image of the company. From this point of view, I have come across the importance of training and developments.  

Proper training and development, needs to develop and design a well-planned training module through which the employee and the leaders of the company should pass out. I have learned that a well-planned and synchronized program that will be effective in the job palace. That program has the following steps leading from need assessment to implantation are (Bell, 2017);

·         I will perform a need assessment plan to check whether training is mandatory or not.

·         I will remember the different learning principles while designing the programme.

·         There is a need for the material helpful for the training, I will develop material that’s would accurate with training.

·         Then I will implement the training on the related group of employees or people

·         Next after some days, I will evaluate the effect of the training program either it is going in the right direction.

·         If it occurs some hurdle or fault I will repair or change that factor.

I further studied the different types of training specifying individual capabilities and the trends of the modern world. These styles are visual, aural, verbal, physical, logical, social and solitary (Strobach, 2016). All the described styles have their own advantages and disadvantages over the specified limits. I will adopt these styles according to the constraints of the workplace. We can not use the general method for all it requires proper planning and developments for any training program. The next step, I have got familiar with is the implementation of the developed training plan for the advancement and the proper functionality of the organization. The implementation is an important point to all. In the workplace, I will keep a solid eye on the implementation step, because it contributes towards the success of failure of any of the training programs.

In the end, I have come across checking the effectiveness of any training strategy adopted. This check is done by conducting the after-action review and analyze the behavior of the trained people. These analyses check will be much helpful for me to be an analyzer at my job for any program or policy.  I am able now to work as a mentor or a trainer at any stage of any field after getting knowledge from this course (Vinales, 2015).

Before enrolling in this course, I was much confused about my personality and worried about career. I was not seeing myself as an expert in my field. This course proved much helpful for me in developing the skills. Through this also my confidence level raised up and I see my self

as an expert in my field. The whole course work was very informative and the teacher was above all, he engaged us in different activities to enhance our confidence. He was well aware of every student's strengths and weaknesses, so he provided the proper tasks to students that’s fits their interests and cover up their weaknesses. Overall, it was the best experience of my life.
