CHAPTER ONE
1.0. Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
The advancement of any organization is very important in the improvement of workers performances, which are got through training and development, experience has shown that well organized and planned training and development functions with a minimal cos.
Nigeria Television Authority (NTA) was first established in Nigeria in 1886 so that information reaching to the people (the whole world) will be easier, NTA extended to other centres such that on April 1951, when the NTA Nigeria came into being a total of 16 cities and communities were receiving news. As a simple and public utility whose presence is felt in all the nooks and crannies of the federation NTA has numerous distribution channels and stations centers throughout the country. The strategic position which NTA occupies hence the need for training and development to meet the modern technological requirements.
According Obi (2001:172) Training and development are two different concepts which lead to staff intellectualism and improvement although they are used for the same levels of workers which means that graining and development involves the workers at all level.
In addition, Anyanwu 1996:4) Training and retraining of workers has therefore become a sine qua non in allayment of the set objectives of any private or public organization. It is true that much had been said on training and development as a tool for greater efficiency in both private and public organization, many scholars in different fields formed lots of theories in the nature of training and development and some of these have been diversifies. According to Sikula (1987:3) training is a short term education process utilizing a systematizing and organized procedure by which a non managerial personnel gains conceptual and theoretical knowledge or general purpose when a staff training and development is properly done, it instills confidence in the staff for maximum and efficient production in the execution of their duties and attainment of organizational goal.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
During the course of this projects problem were encountered. Apart from financial problems to cover the running cost there was also transportation problems most be the time travels were made by public transportation which most cases frustrated the schedule of the researcher.
Another problem was that of time constraints in most time was being wasted and lecture period scarifies in the process of getting materials in the cost of training and development will lead to ineffective confidence to general organizations. Therefore the identification of training and development as stressed in tylorism is therefore beneficial due to the trains and the organization. It's application to improvement.

Development is concerned with the growth of an employee in all respect, it is the process by which managers and executives acquire not only skills and competency in their present jobs but also capabilities for future managerial tasks of increasing difficulty and scope.
According to Stoner, training programmers are directed towards maintaining and improving current job performance while development programmes seek to develop skills for future jobs. Stated briefly, training of job centered where as development is career oriented.
A person thus can receive a training to improve skills on a new wards processing machine, where as development may come from a management course on effective leadership. However, this distinction between training and development can be an artificial one because both focus on learning.
