Overview
The Establishment, Personnel and Training Department in keeping with the national vision and its mandate to foster an efficient, and professional Public Service sees training as a fundamental pillar in building resilience. As technology changes, skill requirements also change; climatic and other environmental issues also weigh in on the subject of training and re-training. Public officers must be taught how to work better, smarter and faster.
Rationale for Training

The answer to both questions is intrinsically linked to human development and human resource development theories which have been very well proven.
