ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Being associated with JSW STEEL LTD. and having to do a project with them has been one
of the most memorable and great learning experiences. The project has been a great
journey for me, right from its inception to its completion. I owe a great deal to some very
important people without whose guidance and support, the project would not have been
successful.
At the outset, I wish to express my sincere gratitude to Mr. Tapas Kumar Das (General
Manager-HR, Corporate Center) for giving me an opportunity to undergo summer
internship at JSW LTD.
I would also like to thank Prof. N. Rajan (Faculty-HR, NLDIMSR) and Prof. Ameet

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
I have undertaken the project on talent assessment and development for JSW Steel Ltd.
in order to learn the practical aspects of Human Resources. It has acted as a window to
show me how the learning & development team functions. Its core activity i.e. training is
focused on empowering people with knowledge, both functional and behavioral. This project
has given me exposure to the learning & development in particular training part of
corporate HR and the competency for HPEs.
( High Potential Employees). It has also introduced me to various B-schools offering training
programs in various fields to organizations as per their need and various trainers and
vendors.
I have studied various aspects of learning and development at JSW which includes
Discussion forums, e-learning, Coaching, training process, training content designing,
training offered by vendors, etc. The training process starts with an explanation of the
nature of training and development, objective of training & development, the actual process,
training need identification, designing of the content of the finalized programs. It then
moves on to the list of the TOP B-schools offering the MDPs.
I have also studied the practices of learning and development followed at JSW and other
industries. It was then followed by the questionnaire filled by the employees. Based on the
results, finally it lists the recommendations for the same.
I have also been involved in framing the competencies that the HPEs at JSW should possess.
This will help the line managers in identifying their HPEs for the leadership role.
Study of the above mentioned aspects has helped me to broaden my perspective towards
L&D and helped me to come up with ideas that can be used to impart learning to the
employees in the organization. Thanks to this project, I have learnt the importance of
Human Relations in maintaining & enriching the human resources of an organization.
INTRODUCTION
India is passing through a period of remarkable change and very interesting times. For half
a century before independence in 1947, there was hardly any discernible economic growth
in the whole Indian sub continent and we have now come a long way to a sustainable
growth path.
The growth is manifesting itself in many ways all across the country : innovation and
entrepreneurship are in the air. With such exciting changes taking place in all spheres , it is
important to manage the human potential that India possesses effectively. As is known, the
world is growing flatter. Globalization is the word of the day. With such fast paced changes,
it has become important for companies to retain & train their people to not only face the
competition but also to create a difference to their organization. The words of Alvin Toffler ,
the American futurist and writer is more than true of these times : the illiterate of the 21st
century is not the one who cannot read and write, but the one who cannot learn, unlearn
and relearn. Keeping this in mind most organizations are laying great emphasis on learning
and development of their employees.
JSW - OVERVIEW

the core economic sector. As part of the US $ 8 billion O. P. Jindal Group, JSW Group has

Logistic, Cement and Information Technology. This Sajjan Jindal led enterprise has grown
from a steel rolling mill in 1982 to a multi business conglomerate worth US $ 3.7 billion
within a short span of time.
Global recognition for Size, Culture and Quality while nurturing Nature and Society is the
vision of the company and its mission is to Support nations growth in Steel & Power with

The core values of the organization are:
Crystal Clear

The various verticals carry out different functions under the umbrella of JSW Group.
JSW Steel Ltd. is one among the largest Indian Steel Companies in India today with
capacity of 7.8MT. Indias second largest steelmaker, JSW Steel Ltd. consists of the most
modern, eco-friendly steel plants with the latest technologies for both upstream &

generation since 2000 and in less than a decade of its operations, the company has crossed

We can make a distinction among training, education and development. Such distinction
enables us to acquire a better perspective about the meaning of the terms. Training, as was
stated earlier, refers to the process of imparting specific skills. Education, on the other hand,
is confined to theoretical learning in classrooms.

Broad Perspective
The fundamental aim of training is to help the organization achieve its purpose by adding
value to its key resource the people it employs. Training means investing in the people to
enable them to perform better and to empower them to make the best use of their natural
abilities. The particular objectives of training are to:
Help people to grow within the organization in order that, as far as possible, its
future needs for human resource can be met from within;
Reduce the learning time for employees starting in new jobs on appointment,
transfers or promotion, and ensure that they become fully competent as quickly and
economically as possible.
TRAINING PROCESS
Training at JSW starts with identifying the need for training. It is an ongoing process where
everything is tailor made as per the requirement of the employees and the organization.

DESIGNING OF TRAINING PLAN
TRAINING PLAN
FOREWORD
An organization's level of excellence is a reflection of the skill and attitude of its employees.
In times of constant change the skill sets of employees needs to be updated on a continuous
basis. We must be sensitive to the fact that in such a rapidly changing scenario, people, like
products become obsolete very quickly. An organization that imbibes the culture of
continuous learning ensures that it never becomes outdated and continues to scale the
excellence curve.
The best way of going about achieving this is to build a strong foundation of learning and
development. Importantly, we believe that the leaders in the organization contribute to
building a talent pool by sharing their expertise and knowledge they have gained in their
specific fields. It is when we develop a culture of mentoring and coaching the new
generation that transfer of new skill sets become ingrained in the system.
Our learning and development plan is part of effort to develop competency and build
learning culture in our organization. This booklet comprising management development
programs intends to cater the common needs of JSW Group Companies.
We surely believe in receiving your support in taking our learning& development initiatives
forward. We deeply value your views and suggestions in our never ending journey for
excellence.
JSW is committed to the continuous development of its employees. This policy will ensure
that we have the adaptability and flexibility to succeed as a world class conglomerate.
WE SHALL ENDEAVOUR TO:
Encourage Individual(s) take onus for his/her own

GE has set up a comprehensive learning & development program for all employees.
The company invests about US$1 billion annually on such programs from assembly
lines to corporate classrooms to boardrooms.
One such initiative GE has set up is a comprehensive business development course
designed for the functional and unit business heads. The course sees each head
undergoing simulations in running other business units in order to develop broader
business skills. The CFO might take up the role of COO in the simulation, for example, while
a senior HR executive could be shouldered with the position of CFO.
It forces people to take on different roles and run a fairly sophisticated simulation against
other teams. You can see how they interact, make decisions and interpret data. It gives
them an idea of what the basic skills are in other functions.
