Abstract
The quality of Human Resource is an asset to any organization and as a result Training has become an issue that has to be faced by every organization. The amount;, and quality of training carried out varies enormously from organization to organization due to factors such as the degree of external change, for instance, new markets or new processes, the adaptability of existing workforce and importantly the extent to which the organization supports the idea of internal career development. Most organizations meet their needs for training in an ad hoc and haphazard way whiles others set about identifying their training needs, then design training activities in a rational manner and finally assess the results of training. This study, therefore, sought to determine the relationship between Training and Development on Tanzania Leaf Tobacco Company. The research
was intended to determine the role and impact of training on employees with emphasis on the Iower, middle level staff and the administrators of Tanzania Leaf Tobacco Company, who were randomly selected.
