Abstract

A key Human Resources Management task for organizations is training and development. When an applicant with the needed knowledge and skills cannot be found by recruitment, the organization must train a current employee.  In this experiential exercise, students are given a training topic and tasked with creating and delivering a training experience for the other students in the class.  The exercise includes instructions for students, a list of training topics, and a sample grade sheet.
