Clearwater Electronics has installed several new machines that will improve line productivity. The training and development specialist at Clearwater Electronics is working with the line managers who are responsible for the new machines to develop a training program for line workers. Why is a training program needed in this situation, and how can it best help the employees?

• Because the employees lack the technical skills needed to run the new machines, the training program will help them comply with OSHA regulations.
• Because none of the employees know how to run the new machines, the training program will allow line managers to observe which employees perform best.
• Because the employees lack the technical skills needed to run the new machines, the training program will help them improve their knowledge and skills and thus improve their performance.
• Because none of the employees know how to run the new machines, the training program will give the line managers the opportunity to observe the employees and determine which ones are best suited for advancement.
