description:

The design of “soft” skill training courses should be specific in the outcomes it is trying to achieve to ascertain how much time and what strategies are needed to achieve outcomes.

context:

There were literacy and translation challenges pertaining to training delivery. One report stated that 1/3 of participants could not read in Mon or Burmese. The evaluations of training courses were not rigorous so it is difficult to exactly understand the outcomes particularly in regard to the “soft skills” training.

success:

There are opportunities for continual improvement in training effectiveness, such as designing training courses to be designed to be more specific about what they are trying to achieve. This may help to ascertain how much time training is needed to achieve outcomes. Training evaluation should also be more thorough. Consideration should be given to increasing the duration of training as the depth and breadth of the material covered was limited.

challenges:

Trainers and evaluation reports mentioned that given that the time spent was short (of only a few days duration) and the recipients generally had a low level of education, the training was not sufficient to see major shifts in attitudes and behaviour. Respondents are operating in an environment that is not conducive and does not reflect the lessons they learned through the training, particularly for human rights, democratisation and gender equality which makes it harder for trainees to take these lessons on board.
