The training needs assessment (TNA) represents one of the cornerstones for a successful training delivery and impact. The TNA should provide a clear connection between what is needed and what could be provided in terms of training, as a contribution toward the path to development.

The Albanian School of Public Administration (ASPA) delivered the Training Needs Assessment (TNA) process towards the end of 2023 for the year 2024, encompassing all public administration employees from central government, local government, and independent institutions.

This assessment identified training needs in the following key areas:

  • Basic functions in public administration;
  • Technology;
  • Organizational management;
  • European integration;
  • Legal issues;
  • Other cross-cutting issues;
  • Competencies of local self-government units, both own and delegated;
  • Implementation of functional duties.

In total, 24,674 training requests were reflected from central government, local government, and independent institutions.

Information submitted by the institutions was processed, prioritizing these needs based on legal obligations, strategic priorities, and trainings contributing to personal development. The results of the Training Needs Assessment have been reflected in the training program for the year 2024.
