Design the methodology for gathering data

Prepare a needs assessment to determine necessary training needs in your organization. Describe the following:

Goals of the needs assessment
Description of participants
Project plan, including budget table, timeline, and other necessary resources

Design the methodology for gathering data. The methodology needs to include:

Description of the procedure (process for collecting data)
Description of how resulting data will be used

Design an instrument for gathering data (e.g., survey, focus group questions, or interview questions). The instrument must include both quantitative and qualitative items.

Create a 1,200- to 1,350-word document that provides a narrative for each step of the needs assessment process that you follow. Include the data gathering instrument and any supporting documentation.
