"The role of the trainer - widely defined as anyone providing a training function within an organisation - is changing rapidly. Outsourcing, the use of consultants, a greater emphasis on basing interventions on research data, the increased involvement of line managers and the impact of technology are all of key importance. This exploratory study raises issues for further research, such as what are the career paths of trainers and their training needs, what determines their role, and what support do they need?"
