The research design used was descriptive research. Primary data were collected through a structured questionnaire-based survey of 100 respondents from different organisations. It included people of various ages and levels of experience, mostly under 25 and with a range of work experience. The data interpretation mainly involved percentage analysis. Results: The results of this survey are consistent with the conclusions that training programs make a significant difference in employee performance. The majority of the respondents found that training was very relevant to their job descriptions, improved their confidence level and improved productivity. In addition, the research indicates that regular use and support of new skills by the organisation are linked to career advancement and job satisfaction.
