From the Paper:

"When a company or enterprise consider workforce development it is not merely to polish existing skills or image standards. Job training is crucial for the workers as well as for the corporations. On the job it means reaping profits and for the nation it means creating human resources. Thus for this reason enterprise are paying more attention in training and development then in recruitment. The focus therefore is to "change" and the trend is towards developing existing skills, acquiring new ones.

In the recent years this has been treated as part of human resources training where individuals were recruited and "TRAINED" to the organization. Those who have skills would benefit less from the training and those who don't learn to acquire some. The overall outcome is not what the skills the employee has but rather what skills the individuals have instilled those are congruent to the environment in which they work. Hence, the training process has been morel like an educational process, where individuals were given lectures on development of skills instead of acquiring the true skills required."
