What is the meaning of corporate training?
Training targets behavior directly, and might indirectly influence thought processes. This typically calls for more than a lecture format. Training might start by specifying steps needed to accomplish a particular task, but more than this is needed to assure that certain skills or procedures are learned. Participants in a training course should practice the desired behavior and receive pertinent feedback to support what’s right and correct what’s wrong. If feedback is given genuinely in a trusting and caring atmosphere, behavior might not only be directly improved, but one’s thinking or attitude associated with the behavior might be positive.
Conversely, education focuses on trying to influence participants’ cognitive or thinking processes. This kind of education might increase profound knowledge or critical thinking skills, and this could lead to behavior change. If so, I will have "thought a person into behaving differently." In other words, education targets thought processes directly, and might indirectly influence what people do.
