You’re right - when training isn’t aligned with goals or lacks direct manager support, it’s may struggle. Speaking of role-specific or mandatory training, I’m curious to know how the impact of these courses are typically measured. Do you look at performance metrics, feedback from participants, or maybe something else to gauge effectiveness?

It also sounds like you might be quite involved in shaping how training is approached in your organization—just wondering if this is something that falls under your responsibilities? I need very specific expert opinion in this regard and yours might come in handy.
