An explanatory research design was employed; a case study approach was selected due to the nature of the study. Total sample of 90 was picked from PSSSF by simple random and purposive sampling methods. Data were collected by questionnaires with a response of 84 staff and 6 respondents were interviewed. SPSS software was used in analyzing data and quantitative method was used. Findings showed that lack of training needs analysis; shortage of training budget, and lack of training programs evaluation hinders the implementation of training program at PSSSF. It was concluded that training program is not practiced adequately at PSSSF. Several costs are associated with training program. There are some benefits obtained because of the training program. Also there are some challenges hindering the implementation of the training program at PSSSF. It was recommended that identification of training needs should be done more professionally in conjunction with the line manager as well as the individuals involved together with the HR personnel. Everyone involved should agree exactly to what the trainees are lacking. Every head of department is supposed to know the benefit of training program; cost associated with the program, staff involvement and knows how they can play their part in achieving the goals and objectives of the organization. Staffs should be given the ownership and partnership in the training process. Keywords: Training Programs and Development
