Abstract:
Lebanon nowadays is surviving in an age of rapid technological advancement.
At this stage , the Lebanese labor force is considered a primary raw material in the
process of reconstruction and rehabilitation. However, for them to be efficient and
effective , the human resources should possess the up-to-date skills and knowledge
which might be guaranteed by continuous training and development. To conclude, human preparation is needed.
The purposes of this study were to assess the interaction between the trainees
and the efforts made by the Lebanese- private training firms and to study the
advantages and shortcomings of these firms. It also intends to assess the need of the Lebanese labor force for Lebanese- private training finns. As to the hypotheses to be
tested, they are two. First of all , these is a positive correlation between the efforts made by the training firms and the labor force performance. Second, the overall all training approach followed by these firms is the most effective.
To elaborate on the historical background of training and training firms, a
library research was conducted. To study and test the above mentioned purposes and
hypotheses, the SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) was used. One-Way ANOVA , crosstabulation, regression analysis, Chi-square analysis, and correlation
analysis were performed.
According to the results of the analysis, the Lebanese private training firms
still have certain cons that need to be overcomed in order to move towards more
effective training approach. These training firms have to concentrate more on the practical rather than theoretical aspects of training, modifying the training material
brought from outside to suit our conditions, and on offering training that pertains to
the real work setting and environment of the trainees.
