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
