Abstract
The imperativeness of training and manpower development in both the private and public sectors cannot be over-emphasized. New employees are usually expected to be introduced into such skills, ideas and methods they needed to carry out the new assignments they have been employed to, given the complexity in the economic advancement, rapidly changing technological development and the modern ICT age when the drumbeat of skills and methods have since changed, the need to show the worker how-to-do-it becomes necessary.
According to Onuka and Ajayi (2012) to transform the newly-employed staff through training and development must be seen as primarily important if the organizational goal will be achieved. Training and manpower development are very essential to the operation and survival of any organization. However it is usually common for people to see training and manpower development are essential to the operation and survival of any organization. However it is usually common for people to see training and manpower development as the same thing. Though they are similar they are not the same thing. ‘’Training is directly related to the skills, knowledge, and strategies necessary to do a particular job. According Resis (1983), he affirmed that all activities of any enterprises are initiated and determined by the person that makes up these institutions. According to Adeniyi (1995) manpower training. Sometimes it is described as induction training It can include training staff members new skills, exposing them to unfamiliar ideas, giving them the chance to practice and get a feedback on particular technique or styles of working with people, or simply encouraging them to discuss their work with one another. Staff or manpower development has to do with building the knowledge and skills of organizational members. It is usually designed for staffs that are already in the organization especially managerial staff. It is designed to give them new skills to take them to the next level of expertise. Onuka and Ajayi(2012) discus staff development as involving training, education and career development which will include creating a pool of readily available and adequate replacement for personnel who may leave or move up in the organization; enhancing the organizations ability to adopt new changes and use in advanced technology because of sufficiently knowledgeable staff; building a virile, well-motivated and competitive team for the establishment; and ensuring adequate manpower resources for expansion into new programs.
