Training Needs Assessment 
Training Needs Assessments are conducted to determine the gap between "optimals" - what people must be able to know or do to perform effectively on the job and the "actuals" - what people are actually able to do or what they actually know. By determining the gap between actuals and optimals SwRI is able to help customers determine the types of training products that can be implemented to reduce the gap.
