A sample size of 100 respondents was used to represent all employees, while simple random and purposive samplings were used. The data was collected through a questionnaire and analysed through SPSS version 24. The survey results showed that Mtibwa Sugar Company Limited evaluates training requirements, a strategy for a training program, implementation of the training, and evaluation of the training to deliver training to its workers. It has also been found that the training program has an impact on skill development, employee learning, and self-direction, according to research. Not just that, but also the attitude, conduct, and delegating of employees. Together, these factors gauge an employee's growth, which affects how well they perform at work. Finally, the study highlighted five major roadblocks to efficiently implementing training in the research field. These include the firm's inadequate training programs, the lack of employee interest, the lack of management support, the excessive cost of training, and the culture of the business.
