Priya, I loved how you used this article to clarify the key difference between training and development. It was such a great read! It makes sense that we all have short-term and long-term goals, and various training sessions hone in on the skills that will help us achieve our short-term career goals. You said: “It is the most effective tool for changing the organization to keep pace with developments in the external environment.”—You are absolutely correct! Training sessions can be done in-house (digitally, these days), they are cost-effective, and employers can reach more people at once. Personal and career development also benefit from a career mentor and would be focused over a more extended period. Being trained on specific skills by someone with more expertise in a field is invaluable, and the results can easily be seen in data.
