The researcher employed the descriptive methodology and used questionnaire as a tool of study; 50 questionnaires were distributed to the respondents (employees working in the human resource department in the university of Al Nilein) out of which 30 were collected and analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software. The researcher after analyzing the questionnaires derived the following results:
1. The determination of training needs by the university led to efficiency in performance.
2. The high interest to training programs by the employees led to the development of their skills.
3. It was also clear that the university determined the employees who joined training programs based on efficiency in performance.
And among my recommendation to the university:
1. The university must be more concerned with prior planning of training programs and must set required objectives to be achieved from a training program.
2. The university must concentrate more in developing employees’ skills as this will help them to effectively execute duties assigned to them.
3. The university should be contented with the importance of training.
