Other Options

While training can be an excellent way to develop skills or increase knowledge it is not the only format for development.  In some cases cross training, job shadowing, interviewing experts and reading books or articles can be just as effective.  This depends heavily on the learning objective and learning style.  In all cases, it is important to identify not only the development goal and format for learning, but also how that learning will be used or impact the work of the employee.
