Abstract
Manpower training and development is one of the most important
organizational dynamics. It constitute the pivot in which organizational
survival is run. However, many organisations have either ignored it or
treat policy and programmes in Federal College of Education, Zaria with a
view to employees needs and the college needs. Impact of these training
programmes on the skills, experience of the staff, using both primary and
secondary data, the study, shows that, prior to this time before there was
no clear cut, formal and documentation manpower training and
development policy structure in F.C.E . It was in 2008, that a unit was
erected to take care of staffs development Unit. The study also shows
that the training programmes that are majorly emphasized in the college
are rather too academic in nature. This includes the various study leaves,
probationer leaves, and conferences, seminars and workshops. These
training programs as reveals do not address some peculiar training needs
on the Job. On the impact of the training programs,, findings shows that
the various training programmes as available in F.C.E have not impacted
positively in enhancing the skill, knowledge of the staff, their performance
on the Job and services delivery. The ineffectiveness of these programs
has also led to the problem of staff retention in the college, especially
among the highly experienced senior academic staff. However, it was
recommended that the college should emphasized on both on the-Job
and off-the-Job training for staff of the college, also staff training should
be seen as right of every staff, not a privilege as presently been practices
in the college. Added to this, effective strategies should be adopted so as
to properly evaluate the effect and impact of result of whatever training
undergo by staff of the college. Finally, training should not be seen as a
routine activity, but as an important aspect of personal management and
it should be a constant and continuous exercise
