Tiivistelmä
The capacity at which a company is able to perform is closely related to the people it employs. A unique set of skills and knowledge are brought to the table by each employed individual and managing this pool of expertise while simultaneously providing various forms of opportunities related to growth and development is essential, if a company aims to be successful. The focus of this thesis lies on the development of a training program that is targeted for new software developers at a digital agency, and the process as a whole involves developing, implementing, and measuring the effectiveness of the new program. The training program teaches the Drupal content management framework and the ultimate goal is to have a training program in place that allows the organization this thesis is being written for to employ people with a broader set of talents that can later be fine-tuned to suit the company needs by applying the program. Two trainees were trained during an initial trial period of the new training program. While the presented results indicate that both trainees were relatively satisfied with their training and that significant improvements regarding their knowledge of Drupal had been achieved, there were also aspects of the program that could have been executed in a better manner. To conclude, the constructed evaluation processes worked well and the implementation of the new training program, in general, was a success. However, to be completely certain of this, more individuals need to participate in the training for the results to be accurate.
