Empowerment

How do we address the issue of unemployment of adult learners irrespective of age, to align their skills in their field of expertise within a new cultural environment? How do we evaluate current skill sets of adult learners, conduct needs analysis and ascertain their training gaps? These are some of the questions this book attempts to answer through its step-by-step process of adult learning. Based on research the book incorporates competencies of adult training, needs analysis, instructional design, presentation and facilitation. This book demonstrates that by preparing a customized personal development plan, an action-plan document, short-term, mid-term and long-term goals for each learner, helps focus and realign their current strengths and skill sets strategically to the job within their key areas of expertise within no time. Thus clearing a path to achieving both comprehension and application level learning objectives for all stakeholders involved - the learners themselves, the author and the reader included - triggering each individual on the path towards his / her Empowerment.
