Abstract
Training requirements are different from company to company. One significant factor of that is the how big the business is. Larger firms tend to develop training based on a much larger spectrum. These types of businesses want a more formal training where they can achieve standard skills. The smaller and medium sized businesses can focus their training on a much smaller level and can cater to more needs. Therefore, different businesses have different training strategies no matter how big or how small. This paper analyzes all of these differences and identifies the challenges that may restrict certain training strategies.
