    <dct:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Theme of the study:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; Training provides employees with the knowledge and skills required to operate within the systems and standards set by management. Organizations need to be kept up to date through effective training to grow and achieve what they have dreamed for. However, some sectors and departments do job without providing the required training. As the result, the required results cannot be obtained and objectives cannot be achieved as per requirement and schedule. Even though certain sectors provide training they do not do as per specific work requirement, at appropriate time, for appropriate employee, using appropriate methodology and by appropriate professionals, resulting in unsatisfactory result. &lt;strong&gt;Objectives&lt;/strong&gt;: This study was designed to assess the current employees&amp;rsquo; training practice and its effects on performance at the selected public sectors of north Shewa zone of Oromia region. &lt;strong&gt;Methodology:&lt;/strong&gt; Descriptive design with quantitative approach was applied, and 25% of the target population, was included in the study, by purposely selecting 7 sectors from 30 zonal public sectors. By proportionally allocating the sample to the selected sectors, a total of 251 employees were included in the study, and the participants were consecutively included using quota sampling method until the sample size was attained. Self-administered questionnaires were used to gather information from employees, and data were analyzed using quantitative approach, with the statistical package for social studies (SPSS 20). Descriptive statistical indexes like frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation (STD) were calculated as needed. &lt;strong&gt;Findings:&lt;/strong&gt; The study described general characteristics of the study participants, characteristics related to: training practices, training need assessments, objectives of training, resources and facilities, training methods and experiences on evaluation methods, and experience on constraints in providing training. The mean age (&amp;plusmn;STD) of the study participants was 39.5 (&amp;plusmn;6.1). The mean age of males (&amp;plusmn;STD) was 40.0 (&amp;plusmn;6.2), while that of females was 38.7 (&amp;plusmn;5.8). Most of the participants reported that their sectors have no separate training units, training need assessments were not conducted at their sectors, and selection of trainees was not need assessment based. Majority of the study participants reported that their sectors had constraints in providing training, mainly related to less attention given by their management, lack of budget, inconvenient training method, and presence of unrelated training contents with actual works. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;Need assessment based training of employees can improve their performance, and constraints of providing training may significantly decrease its effectiveness.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Recommendation&lt;/strong&gt; Thus, all public sectors of north shewa zone should have separate training units, consistently conduct training need assessment, and the training practice should be strengthened, and be planned regularly, focusing on minimizing the constraints of training to achieve the required goal.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dct:description>
