Trainees Perspective towards Effective Training and Analyzing the Influence of Age and Gender on it

Abstract: Learning is desperately needed in the twenty-first century as new skills related to complex problem solving, critical thinking, creativity, people management, coordination, emotional intelligence, judgement and decision making, and cognitive flexibility are generated by global economies brought about by ongoing technological and scientific progress. The shifting nature of the workplace necessitates that workers update their present skill sets and abilities if they want to sustain. This study makes an attempt to analyze whether the factors (training content, training environment, training facilitation, learning outcome, training methods) associated with training have impacts on the perception of the trainees towards effective training and to study whether the trainees age and gender has a significant influence on their perception.
