The study was guided by three specific objectives; to determine the effect of off-job training on the performance of employees of Mpanda Municipal, to determine the effect of on-job training on the performance of employees of Mpanda Municipal and to determine the effect of refresher training on the performance of employees of Mpanda Municipal. A case study design was adopted with a quantitative approach. A total of 188 employees were sampled from the population of 355 Mpanda Municipal Council employees to take part in the study. A structured questionnaire was employed in data collection. The collected data were analyzed through descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis. According to the findings, Off-Job Training has a positive and significant impact on employee performance. Also, on-the-job training had a positive and significant impact on employee performance.
