The competencies of staff must be aligned with the competencies of the organization so that its objectives are achieved, and for this they use TD&E processes, as well as to prepare the staff for new roles and work processes. Therefore, it is extremely important to do the evaluation of such actions, which indicates whether the programs of TD&E are being effective, what aspects constrain or facilitate the performance of trainees, and how valid are these actions for the financial return of the organization.
