THE DEVELOPMENT OF A TRAINING MANUAL  \nStaff training and career development are very vital in any correction organization that aims at progressing. Training simply refers to the process of acquiring the essential skills required for a certain job. It targets specific goals, for instance understanding a process and operating a certain piece of equipment or system. Career development, on the other side, puts emphasis on broader skills, which are applicable in a wide range of situations. This includes decision making, thinking creatively and managing people.1  \nAn important tool in facilitating both staff training and career development is a well-constructed staff training manual. Such a manual enables consistency in training and helps insure that all personnel hearthe same information and philosophy in the way it is intended by the prison administration. The manual serves to codify workplace rules and guidelines. It helps enable departmental functions in the absence of key employees. It helps keep instructors on track and within the timeframe allotted to teach particular subjects. It helps insure that all intended subjects are covered in the course of a designed training program. It provides the students with reference information that can be used both for the immediate class and later for refreshing the information and providing remedial help.  \nA. Needs Analysis  \nThe process begins with a needs analysis — some refer to this as front-end analysis. It is an ongoing process of gathering data to determine what training needs exist to help the correction system develop the training required so it can meet its objectives. The training of correction officers is not an activity independent of the mission, objectives and core values of the corrections system. Rather, the training is a tool to help the prisons system meet its goals in an effective, efficient and humane manner.  \nThe following, [from www.hr-survey.com/TrainingNeeds.htm](from www.hr-survey.com/TrainingNeeds.htm), provides an excellent view of the training needs assessment process:  \n1. Gathering Employee Opinions for Training Needs  \nSchedule a meeting with employees in a particular department or job classification. During the meeting, gather ideas from the employees about their needs and areas for professional development. Determine common themes and topics. Ask the employees to review the information gathered and determine which areas/needs are most important to receive training. Then determine the desired outcomes from the training to address these needs. These outcomes could serve as measures of success (validation) of the training.  \n2.  The Steps in a Training Needs Assessment  \n1. Needs Assessment (collecting and analyzing data)  \n2. Design (program objectives, plan, measures of success)  \n3. Testing (prototype the instrument and process)  \n4. Implementation (collection measures and update as needed)  \n5. Analysis & Evaluation (review feedback and data collected)  \n*Director of Staff Training of the International Corrections and Prisons Association and Scientific Coordinator of the Inter[national Scientific and Professional Advisory Council.
