Summary:

The training and retraining of America's workforce, both public and private, has become an important national concern. The president, governors, city and county managers, and directors of state and federal agencies are taking a direct interest in training and development as never before. Many are advocating that training and education become national obsessions in order for the United States to maintain its world status and standard of living. Montgomery Van Wart, N. Joseph Cayer, and Steve Cook have written the definitive handbook for both new and veteran public managers and trainers involved with training and development. Packed with real-world examples drawn from all levels of government, the Handbook of Training and Development for the Public Sector provides an up-to-date manual for both new and experienced trainers and program designers - and furnishes public sector managers with a comprehensive survey of training methods and instructional technology. This practical HRD guide is filled with numerous tips on designing, conducting, and evaluating programs. In addition, the book includes more than eighty figures, tables, and exhibits, along with an annotated suggested reading list.
