Training: An Essential Aspect of Human Factors in Technology Transfer to Developing Countries

Abstract

The creation and planning of a successful international training program is dependent upon the establishment and implementation of a systematic approach or process which integrates the educational goals, with the development needs for the country. This paper examines various planning processes, approaches, techniques and models of training systems and the critical elements necessary to design, develop and implement a cost-effective training system in developing countries. General alternatives and possible options for development and improvement of international training systems, which incorporate unique characteristics, socio-cultural factors and cultural mores are presented in six models.
