Based on the information you provide, students will develop a training and development action plan, which can include ready to use templates, processes, strategy, and high-level training design that will support the training and development of your employees. Student teams will address any area of the organization that you believe will benefit most from improved training and development, and provide innovative solutions and support to reduce the time to value for employees taking on new tasks or domains, or existing employees who would benefit from new training initiatives.

Project Examples include, but are not limited to:

• Build a detailed employee life cycle journey map to identify gaps in training and development that can lead to improved performance of new and existing employees.
• Propose training and development solutions aligned with your organization’s competencies.
• Create a training plan for training new employees, which could include company on-boarding and skills required on-the-job.
• Create a training plan for training existing employees on new processes or procedures (i.e. security awareness, new products), or to support succession planning efforts in your organization.
• Create a needs analysis plan that you can take forward and implement (e.g. templates for surveys, questions, etc.).
• Create a high-level plan for Leadership Development, Career Development, Training for Diverse Employees (e.g. leadership development training, career development guide, mentorship or coaching program for women, minorities, etc.).

This list of project examples is by no means exhaustive. If you have another project idea that relates to employee training and development, please use Riipen’s in-app chat to contact the professor, who will work with you to determine if it’s a fit for this assignment.
