When new training is needed, a training proposal describes the work to be done — it is a call to action. The sole purpose of a traiing proposal is to persuade decision makers of the need for training, the need for action, and thus the expected response to a training proposal is the “go ahead.”
Training proposals explain:
Most training proposals should include an Executive Summary plus a combination of components deemed necessary to persuade the decision makers; components such as the challenge for which the training will be developed, the learning objectives (important!), a development and delivery schedule, and a cost-benefit analysis.
A training proposal document must be concise, clear, and compelling.

It is amazing as to what goes into a training proposal to make it worthwhile or just to get the “top dog” to say, “Let’s invest.” Since those are at least three of the important elements of a training proposal, why not just include those elements and forget about the rest? The training proposal have a lot of similar content as a business plan when individuals want to establish their own businesses. Their plan should include an executive summary, cost, targeted population, geographics, who the business will impact, demographics, training, budget, etc. I am looking forward to “attempting” to write a good training proposal. I have not found much useful information on the internet, but I will continue my “hunt”.

I’m anxious to get started on this project. I’d like to see the work that goes into it. I’m majoring in Human Resources, but not sure if the training side of it is for me. I might have a better idea after attempting to write a proposal. I’m a bit nervous and lacking in confidence in this project. I look forward to finishing it!!!

Oh my…I am soo nervous about writing this proposal. I have my lay out of what I’m doing but combining it and having it make sense will be my downfall. Like HLAW said once you get to writing and seeing everything you probly will have a better understanding of what your proposing.

I found the most interesting part of the proposal was the cost analysis. Figuring out exactly what the training would cost and then what the benefit would be was really neat. I also like to figure the ROI. It really showed how much money the company would actually make by spending a little.

Although my major is HR, training shouldn’t be a concern as far as my duties. Training should be departmental. I’m not even going to learn everyones job.
But I can, promote training to the management.

I have had a good time learning how to do the training proposals and I think they are a good tool to have for any business to learn from.

Training Proposals confuse me. I have tried over and over and over again to comprehend the training proposal and for some reason I think I am analyzing it too much and making it more difficult than it is. I can’t seem to understand it no matter what I do.
