 Difference between Training and Development
Definition of Development
Development is a process in which learning occurs through experience and where the
results of the learning enhance not only the task skills of the individual but also his or her
attitudes. Whereas training does not necessarily encompass the why, development most
certainly does.
Development provides the individual with skills and attributes that can be changed to fit
new circumstances. Whereas training can be measured objectively – before the training the
person could not do X, after the training they can do X – development is much more
subjective. Development not only provides skills, but also changes the way the individual
thinks and reasons. Training is mechanical; development is humanistic. Training may be
accomplished in a relatively short time frame – development, linked as it is to intellectual
growth, takes much longer. The importance of organizationally based development is that
the individual’s development can occur in an environment where the development
processes and activities can be linked to the culture and aims of the organization.
Differences between Training and Development
Although the terms training and development are used together, they are often confused.
Training means learning the basic skills and knowledge necessary for a particular job or a
group of jobs. In other words, training is the act of increasing the knowledge for doing a
particular job. But development refers to the growth of an individual in all respects. An
organization works for the development of its executives or potential executives in order to
enable them to be more effective in performing the various functions of management. An
executive development programme aims at increasing the capacities of the individuals to
achieve the desired objectives. Executive capacities imply his personal abilities and
potentials. Desired objectives imply consideration for the goals of the organization and
individuals. Increasing the capacities implies that change must, occur in the executive and
through him in his subordinates. The distinction between training and development is
shown in Table:
