Therefore, training must be measured. Measuring competencies of participants cannot be done from their knowledges pnly.

His team wants training produce not only competent employees, but also to have an impact on organizational improvement.

The training carried out also does not have to be homogeneous, can be diverse and unique to each individual. This is because there are skilled employees but their knowledge is lagging," he added.
