The purpose of training is to “change behavior” and “improve performance.”  Effective trainers know how to create a learning climate and how to identify participants’ wants and needs: who they are, what they already know, what they need to know, and what to do to gain and hold their attention.  Establishing a learning climate that encourages application of classroom lessons to the job is a key skill of the effective trainer.
