From the Paper:

"The first step in the second section of the research paper would be that of identifying the primary issues and practices of training and development. These could revolve around the identification of a training need and the means to satisfying this need, namely the types of methods used to developing and implementing training and development programs. The continual feature of the programs will also be discussed. The issues and practices will be analyzed within both the private and the public sector and general conclusions will be formulated as to the differences and similarities between the two sectors."
