When looking at training and development as two separate concepts, which of the following statements is correct?

Correct answer: (A)

Training refers to improving skills needed to perform better in the current job


Although all training and development programs are designed to address knowledge, skills, and abilities, sometimes training and development are treated as two separate concepts. If they are treated as two separate concepts, then training usually refers to improving skills needed to perform better in the current job and development refers to improving knowledge of jobs in the future. Nonetheless, both approaches are concerned with improving the employee’s ability to perform.
