Management Training Activities and Training Needs Within Selected Business and Industry Organizations in Oklahoma

The Oklahoma Department of Vocational/Technical Education has made an effort to focus on an element vital to the success of business and industry—the development of an organization's human resources, specifically the development of management and supervisory skills. Employers in Oklahoma business and industry organizations acknowledge the need for such skills and have developed and delivered training to meet this need. However, the training developed and delivered must be periodically assessed to determine what the current training needs are and if these particular needs are being met. To acomplish this task, it is first necessary to examine the training needs of the organizations served and determine if the work being done is focused in the direction of need.
