[IPAC-List] training needs assessment

[Megan Paul]

I'm starting to develop a training program for a newly created job and 
would like to gather task and KSA judgments from incumbents (the job was 
created a year ago and the learning has come mostly from OJT until now). 
I don't think the more general type of 'when needed' question (before 
hire, after hire) will provide the kind of detail that is sufficient for 
developing training. I realize importance and frequency are a start, and 
'difficulty to learn' might get me closer, but does anyone have other, 
perhaps more narrow, questions that are useful for guiding training 
decisions? I can certainly make up my own but I thought that seeing 
other ideas my spur my thinking.

Thanks,
Megan
