Maureen was teaching a new learning and development representative about the relationship between training and developmentThe best way she was able to accurately explain this difference was: Participation in training is voluntary, but most organizations require participation in development activities Training is often an ongoing process, while development tends to be a short- term process Training is future oriented, while development is focused on one's past experiences The goal of training is preparation for the current job, while the goal of development is preparation for future job opportunities
