Learning & Development Needs Assessment
What skills people want, how they learn, and what blocks them from using the budget.
4 questions · 1 page · about 3 minutes to answer · fully editable after you start
L&D budgets go unspent while skill gaps widen – usually because the catalogue answers questions nobody asked. This assessment collects the demand side: skills people want for their current role versus their next one, preferred learning formats, and the blockers (time, approval friction, not knowing what exists) between them and the budget already allocated.
The current-versus-next-role split matters: funding only current-role skills reads as extraction, funding growth reads as investment, and retention follows the reading.
