The objectives of this study were: to identify training and development programs employed by Kenya National Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KNCCI) and to establish how KNCCI implements change and to determine the effects of training and development on change implementation at KNCCI. A descriptive research design was adopted. The target population for this study comprised the 180 employees working at KNCCI in Nairobi. From this population, a sample of 54 was selected using stratified random sampling. Data collection was done using questionnaires and an interview. Quantitative data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential analyses. The study found that the available training and development programs were beneficial to the organizations by ensuring progressive change implementation and there was high level of involvement of staff in change implementation because they facilitated change implementation better. The study concludes that the available training and development programs were beneficial to the organization; KNCCI embraced role playing as part of the daily training and development programs in the organization and that the personnel were encouraged by and motivated by the orientation program when they joined the company. The study recommends that KNCCI should make it a policy that each and every employee is sufficiently trained and developed with regard to various roles and duties that they are expected to carry out within the organization; KNCCI should also improve their employee training and development program in line with the present educational and technological changes in order to offer relevant training.eneffects of training and developmentchange implementationnot-for -profit private companiesThesis
