About Training Needs Assessment
As part of our Work Force Transformation services, Training Needs Assessment is an analytical way to identify gaps between current and desired skills. You’ll get customised learning plans that target performance improvement based on the results. Analytic goals of your organisation vary between business units and roles. Identifying unique learning needs for each role within the organisation is key to creating learning solutions that are tailored to specific skills and requirements.
Key Benefits:
- Build training that addresses needs. Identify what training is needed and for whom.
- Improve skills and competence. Empower your employees with the training needed to streamline their use of SAS® tools.
- Improve learning and retention. Tailor your training plan to meet unique needs, making the content relevant and easier to learn.
- Don’t spend more − spend better. Focus training on the right people with the right content to meet business goals.
- Increase employee satisfaction. Effective employees are more confident. Confidence breeds satisfaction. Satisfaction leads to retention.
What is the process?
SAS Education consultants facilitate a discussion to define the audience, the topics covered and format of the assessment. For smaller groups, face-to-face interviews may be enough. For larger groups, a survey methodology is employed.
Development and Deployment
Regardless of assessment format, relevant questions are drafted and agreed upon prior to the assessment launch. The tools and technologies relevant to a user’s role determine what questions are asked. If a survey method is used, survey deployment options are agreed upon at this time.
Analysis
SAS Education consultants analyse the assessment data to highlight current competency levels across relevant SAS technologies. Additionally, employee self-reported requests for training in these technologies are presented.
Training Plan
SAS Education uses the assessment analysis to craft training recommendations, delivering the right content to the right analysts, in the right format.
How long does it take?
Duration varies for each Training Needs Assessment, including:
- Number and complexity of SAS technologies being assessed.
