Effectiveness and Training-Transfer of CAFT programmes at NARS R. Venkattakumar & B. S. Sontakki NAARM Hyderabad
Training-transfer Capacity building Expensive Crucial Reported as deficit Training-transfer HR Practitioners Researchers Justify investment, and prove link between- Training & organizational outcomes Systems’ perspectives
Objectives • To assess the perception of CAFT participants towards the effectiveness of CAFT programmes • To capture the training-transfer by CAFT participants and the resultant transfer outcomes • To assess the perception of peer group and deputing authorities towards performance of CAFT participants • To suggest strategies to improve the design, pattern and content of CAFT programmes

Recommendations • To attract wider participation programmes should be announced at least three months ahead. • Multiple communication modes (mail, e-mail and uploading in website) may be employed. • Eligibility criteria for participant’s selection should be explicitly spelt-out in all communications. • Brochure must contain details of core contents and resource persons. • Day-wise training schedule of the programme should be prepared well ahead of the programme and communicated to the selected participants before the start of the programme. • Bound volume of the resource material should be distributed to the participants on the first day of the programme. • CAFT centres should organize one follow-up workshop in a block of five years to share their training-transfer experiences.
Recommendations (Continued…..) • CAFT centres should maintain a database of participants’ profile, training expectations and impact. • Existing provisions for inviting guest faculty may be suitably enhanced in terms of number and amount of honorarium/ remuneration. • Centre of Faculty Excellence may be established in each SAU to address the capacity building needs of the faculty. • Sponsoring organization should ensure peer and supervisor support, resource commitment and suitable incentives to the trained participants. • It should be made mandatory for CAFT participants to formally share their training experiences at the department level. • CAFT centres should have a webpage linked to the website of the host organization on training database, resource material etc. • CAFT centres should organize appropriate fora for identifying and documenting training needs in their respective domain areas.
Recommendations (Continued…..) • CAFT centres may propose context-specific contractual services under contingencies head of the CAFT budget. • Use adequate interactive lectures, method demonstrations and hands-on practical or experience. • There should be either 60:40 or 50:50 theory: practical proportion in the pedagogy. • There should be mandatory training evaluation. • Performance assessment of CAFT centres may be done every year in terms of pedagogy, training environment, training effectiveness and impact. • Award/s may be constituted for rating by students about the teaching performance of the faculty.
