Task Details/Description:

Part One: Individual Report (60% of mark)

You are leading a team of Learning and Talent Development Consultants and your brief is to design a learning intervention for an organisation of your choice following the systematic training cycle.

All elements of the systematic training cycle need to be considered. You need to pay close attention to any barriers that might impact this learning intervention and offer possible solutions to these. The report you provide is a “pitch” to the organisation to demonstrate your expertise and to win the contract for the training intervention.
