D353: Strategic Training and Development
Task 1 Completion Guide
The same scenario applies to all three tasks in this course. This guide is not meant to
replace the instructions for the task but will guide you through the task prompts to
provide additional guidance and resources applicable to each prompt. For an overview
of Training Plan design and evaluation, see Section 2 of your course materials and
Chapters 2 – 4 of the textbook. There are also live cohorts and recordings available for
each of the tasks in the course resources.
Each prompt is explained below; an asterisk (*) indicates a discussion prompt for which
you should aim for at least 2-3 sentences to fully develop your response. There are notes
below that will help guide you in creating substantive responses. A good rule of thumb is
to include the “why” or “because” in your explanations to add substance to these
discussion prompts.
