Abstract: This paper aimed at determining the impact of training and development function on the administrative staff performance in the 2nd VPO. The study was guided by the following objectives; to assess the existing training and development process used in the 2nd VPO; to find out whether staff training and development activities have any positive impact on the performance of the administrative staff; to assess impacts of training and development activities on the organizational performance; to propose suitable training and development procedures for the 2nd VPO. Overall, the study assessed the training and development process to establish whether there has been improved staff performance. Data was collected using questionnaires administered to the selected employees and to the Director of administration and Human Resources. The data was analyzed using Microsoft word 2003- integrated package on a personal computer and the SPSS software. The result indicated that the 2nd VPO has a training program in place, but it is poorly planned, not systematic and not coordinated. However, all interviewed employees were aware of the existence of training and development program in this organization. The low budget allocation was found to hamper the implementation of training program. However, the training itself had a positive impact on the performance of the staff and the organization. Therefore, it is recommended that, the 2nd VPO should have a well planned, systematic and coordinated training and development program through the establishment of specific training section. There should also be adequate budget allocation to finance the implementation of training and development program in the office.
