| Abstract | ||||
| Training is considered as one of the main tools for human resources development as it adds and improves the level of information, supports trends and increases skills. In addition, the success of training depends on the extent to which the training bodies organize, plan and establish training rules to ensure its advancement, implementation, follow-up and development. Thus, this study aims to identify the differences in the level of training needs for male and female students according to the difference of gender and to identify the relationship between age and level of training needs and to determine the order of training areas (knowledge, skills, self-development) as defined by the students of social work students according to the level of their needs. The study was applied on 380 first year students at social work Department at KingFaisalUniversity. One of the most important results was that male students had a higher level of training needs in knowledge, skills and self-development than male students. Moreover, there was no statistically significant relationship between age and the level of training needs related to skills for students, except for knowledge and self-development where there was a statistical significant relationship between age and the level of training needs. In light of the findings of the study, the researchers made a number of recommendations, most notably the need to pay attention to identifying the training needs for students as it is an important step in the future planning process of training with the need to take into account the variability of both gender and age, and prioritize training needs related to knowledge associated with university services and evaluating curricula as well as self-learning skills and presentation skills. In addition to the training needs related to self-development, social intelligence and positive thinking. | ||||
