Training Program Manual
Instructions
For your final project you are to create a training manual for an organizational program. For example, a
training manual for a new employee “active shooter response” training, or a new employee
“orientation” training, or an employee “new policies and procedures” training, etc. The choices are
endless. This project utilizes everything you have learned about employee training and development
throughout the term. It should be designed to look like a training manual, and while it may include
narrative it is not a narrative essay. It is acceptable, when appropriate, to use bullet points, text boxes,
any design that you would like. You are not subscribed to any word count or page minimum as I would
like for students to give me what they consider to be their “A” work. The information below includes
the necessary components of the training manual. Everything in bold should be included as a heading in
your manual.

8. Timeline: Describe the timeline for implementation of your training program
9. Curriculum, Course and Lesson Design: Describe the Lesson Design (For purposes of the class we

program?
11. Assessment plan for your Training Program: How will you know if you met your goals for the
training?
