1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Training and development have become a very important and pivotal phenomenon in most organization including the civil service. As is well known, it is important to observe that in the civil service, for example, productivity and output are functions of the employee’s abilities and these abilities are enhance through training and retraining. To sustain this tempo, the Delta State Civil Service has established the Staff Training Centre where courses and training programmes in the Secretarial Cadre are mounted for serving officers. In addition to the above, officers are deliberately encouraged to embark on programmes and innovations are aimed at improving the overall performance of the employees on their jobs, which in the long run will lead to increased productivity and increase job satisfaction.

Also, training and development would lead to reduced supervision and increased motivation of staff in Delta State University, Asaba Campus.

In the course of this research work, attempt would be made to make a distinction between Training and Development.

Ekakitie (2009) state that training involves the process of developing skills and training concepts, rules or attitudes to increase the effectiveness of doing a particular job.
Sikula (1970) state that development is a long term educational process that utilizes a systematic and organized procedure by which management personnel learn concepts and theoretical knowledge for general purposes.
