Abstract: Training is a usual formula for organisations through which employees are introduced to learning, but the challenge lies in identifying the appropriate training needs of employees. The success of a training program depends primarily on the need assessment. The paper discusses the process of competency mapping and focuses on how competency mapping can be used for conducting training need assessment. The paper is an empirical research based on both public and private manufacturing units in India. Primary and secondary data was collected using number of techniques. Gap analysis has been performed for employees and it has also been aimed to verify the changes in competency gaps on applying need based training. On providing need based training, significant difference was measured in the level of competencies of employees. The paper shares a practical insight on the implementation of competency mapping for training need analysis. The research is focused on manufacturing units only, whereas there is a huge scope for it to be implemented in service industries also. The paper is an original piece of research where a model has been designed to resolve training issues of manufacturing industries.
