A four-step approach to implementing a training program and measuring results for government agencies was developed in response to an executive order to federal agencies to provide effective training and performance measures in their annual budgets. Step one is the analysis of established goals to identify training requirements. Suggested activities include analysis of the agency's strategic and performance goals; identification of competencies needed to meet goals; and analysis of gaps in the workforce. Step two is the development of training strategies to achieve goals. Suggested activities include generation of alternative training strategies for competency gaps; assessment of costs and benefits; and building a business case for the selected approach. Step three is the integration of training into the agency's strategic plan. Suggested activities include writing training goals; identification of performance measures; and development of an action plan. Step four is the evaluation of the training goal accomplishments. Suggested activities include assessment of training goal achievement; determination of the cost of training; establishment of the worth of training; cost/benefit analysis; assessment of results.
