The research evaluated how on-the-job and off-the-job training impact staff productivity. Data was collected from a sample of 105 employees using a descriptive research design that integrated questionnaires and document reviews. On-the-Job Training: Improved technical skills and confidence for 67% and 65% of respondents, respectively. However, 72.2% reported that this training was not relevant to their specific job descriptions. Off-the-Job Training: Fostered creativity for 59% of respondents and updated industry knowledge for 56%. Over half (53%) found these skills easy to apply at work. Performance Levels: While 68% saw improved output quality, only 31.5% consistently met formal Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). Conclusion & Recommendations The study concludes that training is vital for organizational growth but is currently hampered by a lack of specialization. It recommends that management designs specialized training programs directly matched to individual job descriptions to bridge the existing performance gap and ensure efficiency.enDissertation
