development at VECOD training and development institution. For this purpose a sample of 140
trainees and 20 trainee respondents were drawn through stratified sampling method with the

square).Moreover; the data obtained using interviews and from document have been analyzed
identifying patterns and themes drawn from participants’ own responses. The study revealed that
the training institution has simple and clear training content with well trained trainer. The

statistical difference between the opinion of trainer and trainee respondents on different issues
raised under the practices of training and development at VECOD. Findings indicated that the

training space, insufficient module distribution, lack of appropriate training need assessment and
lack of clear training written policy were some of the major problems of the training programs.
