The research findings showed that the monitoring and evaluation of training should be part of the planning process. From the research findings, this paper can conclude that the monitoring and evaluation in organisations cannot be taken for granted. Training is an important strategy that can be employed to improve the employees’ performance as each and every individual has needs that drive them to behave in a certain way. The assessment of monitoring and evaluation of skills development strategy should become part of the everyday work process in an organisation where the workforce places much value on employee motivation, employees must be given the opportunity to be granted internships, learnerships, and graduate programmes.
