Abstract
This project report is prepared on how the training program development process can be designed for a small manufacturing company. It also deals with the two-fold resistance which takes place in this organization. Firstly, by the employees since they don’t want change in the working operations and secondly, the training department in the organization has shown resistance to organizational development skills. This report shows how organizational development works well for even small companies and how training strategies can be aligned with training and development processes to sustain in the rapid changing corporate environment.
Introduction
Training program development process is an effective training framework program that focuses on following a step-by step procedure. Training has often been misguided as something that is conducted only for new employees in the workplace, but this is nothing less than a myth.

Resistance of the training department for using organizational development skills can be handled by making them aware about the benefits of such training strategies. The strategy of linking training with business performance would be the best possible aspect of adoption (Valenti, 2014).
Process to align training with business strategies
