International Encyclopaedia of Management Training and Development (Training: Aims, Contexts and Dynamics)

The three main areas involved are skills, knowledge and attitudes (sometimes called social skills) but always with a definite purpose in mind. It differs from education in many ways for all practical purposes training is aimed at specific, job-based objectives rather than the broader society-based aims of education. Historically, trainees were expected fellow employees. They were not termed trainees since they were not systematically trained, but, they enjoyed such titles as helpers, learners, apprentices, in industrial circles. A job is not learnt merely by instructions. The contents any training programme should include information useful to the effective performance of the job, ways of developing and improving skills and abilities that enable the attainment of speed and proficiency on the job arrd the means of cultivating the right attitudes and sound personal qualities in the man.
