Non-teaching Staff’s Participation in Training and Development Programmes: A qualitative inquiry (Published)
The aim of the study was to discover the extent to which the Ghana Education Service (GES) ensures continuous upgrading of the competencies of the non-teaching staff of the service. The study was conducted in senior high schools in a district in the Central region of Ghana. The various non-teaching staff of the senior high schools constituted the population of the study. The study followed the qualitative approach using exploratory design to guide the conduct of the study. Interview guide was the main instrument used to generate data from the study participants. The study disclosed that the non-teaching staff of GES do attend training and development programmes, although not enough. The training and development programmes they attend mainly take the form of workshop. The participants indicated that the few training and development programmes they have attended have been beneficial to them and their service delivery. They however expressed some concerns with the programmes they attend which when addressed would help a lot. The study therefore recommends that GES should endeavour to regularly offer training and development programmes to the non-teaching staff of the senior high schools to help them updgrade their knowledge and skills to make them more effective in their service delivery.

Training and Development in Lokoja Local Government Council Kogi State, Nigeria 2003-2009 (Published)
The centrality of effective training and development to the efficiency of any organization can hardly be overemphasized. This paper empirically evaluated the effectiveness of training and development programmes in enhancing the job performance of Lokoja Local Government Council personnel from 2003-2009. The study adopted the systematic approach to training, as well as its concomitant derivatives such as the frequency, timing, equity and relevance of training programmes, as benchmarks for effective training and development. Data for this study were generated from both primary and secondary sources. Also, the responses generated from the randomly selected respondents were analyzed using simple cross tabulation and percentages. The paper found that the glaring absence of the systematic approach to training is at the root of the numerous obstacles that beset training and development programmes in Lokoja Local Government Council. It strongly recommended, inter alia, the need to incorporate training needs assessments and training evaluations into the configuration of training and development activities in Lokoja Local Government Council.
