Questions 178-180 refer to the following announcement. TWO TYPES OF TRAINING There are two common forms of employee training-on-the-job training and off-the-job training. On-the-job training is the most widely used and least expensive form of training. It consists of an employee learning from a supervisor or co-worker how to do the job. On-the-job training could be described as an apprenticeship. It is efficient because it is done at the workplace while the employee is fulfilling work duties. As time goes by, the employee becomes more and more skilled at the job and eventually can train other employees in turn. Off-the-job training is the most expensive form of training. It consists of an employee being sent away from the workplace to a training program where training is provided. It is less efficient because it requires the employee to take time away from work duties. In addition, depending on where the training site is located, travel and accommodation expenses may be incurred. And of course, fees must be paid to the person or organization providing the training. When deciding which form of training to provide, an employer must consider such things as the availability of staff with necessary skills and time to provide on-the-job training and the types of off-site training available, in addition to the expense. It may well be decided that off-the-job training is worth the cost. While the requirements are different for on-the-job training as compared to off-the-job training, the purpose of both types is the same-to improve employee efficiency and productivity. According to the passage, what is the purpose of training
A. To improve employee efficiency
B. To spend excess capital
C. To satisfy government requirements
D. To please a supervisor

Hiring challenges Jorgen Spelman 2. Management changes Narelle Dundee 3. Financial report Madeira Jones 4. Technology upgrades Jerry Carver FAX COVER SHEET CENTRAL ENGINEERING COMPANY 294 Green Street Brasilia Brazil Tel: (55) 61 3420 4015 Fax: (55) 61 3420 4017 To: Ruben Baker From: Narelle Dundee Date: November 15, 20 Pages: 1 Ref: Results of the board meeting Message: I hope your business trip is going well. Today’s meeting went well for the most part, even though it began 30 minutes late. Jorgen wasn’t there at the beginning, so I used his time slot to give my report. Jorgen finally arrived at 9:30 and gave his report. The board members were surprised to hear that job applicants complain about our salary offers. Jerry’s report really shocked and upset the board. Fortunately, Madeira’s report had the opposite effect. Everyone was happy to hear about our great profits. The technology upgrades report didn’t go so well. Jerry had to leave the meeting before his report because there was an Internet problem in the Electrical Engineering department. Because of this, the presenter for our third agenda item read Jerry’s report, and it was a bit confusing. She didn’t really know what she was talking about and couldn’t answer questions satisfactorily. We decided to ask Jerry to provide written answers to questions raised by board members during the meeting. Because we started late, we finished a half hour late, but we still had to hurry to finish within the allotted time. We decided to make the next board meeting a half-hour longer to give more time for discussion and questions. What was the topic of the first report given
A. Hiring challenges
B. Management changes
C. Finances
D. Technology
