The Scenario

This scenario is adapted from:
Noe, R. A. (2013). Employee training and development (6th ed.). New York, NY: McGraw-Hill Irwin.

You are the human resource generalist for College Inn, a chain of modestly-priced hotels located in the Southeastern United States. Each hotel has 100 to 150 rooms, a pool, and a full service restaurant. The hotels are located near the exit ramps of major highways in three Southeastern college towns: Raleigh, NC; Columbia, SC; and Athens, GA. You just received a memo from the vice president of operations asking for your opinion about some training he is contracting for with outside consultants. There is no training manager for College Inn, so the vice president often contacts you for help with training in the Operations division.

YOUR TASK

Prepare a 2-3 page memo to the vice president of operations that critiques the proposed training.

•Identify all problems related to the proposed training and discuss why these items are problems. Hint: You might want to review the competencies TD professionals should possess. The Association for Talent Development (ATD) Competency Model (https://www.td.org/Certification/Competency-Model) is a good resource.
•Give your recommendations for improving the training design and explain how your revised design will address the VP’s expectations regarding the training.
•Describe at least two ways managers can support the training. Hint: You might want to review the Transfer of Learning Matrix that is listed in the Week 4 Required Reading-Transfer of Learning area.
