Maimunah Ismail, . and Asma Ahmad, . Training needs of RISDA's Rubber Industries Smallholders' Development Authority frontline workers. pp. 391-397. ISSN 0126-6128

A study was conducted among 194 Rubber Industries Small Holders' Development Authority (RISDA)'s frontline workers throughout Peninsular Malaysia. The aim of the study was to identify frontline workers' training needs in technical and non-technical areas. The findings of the study should serve as a useful guide in curriculum development for in service training of RISDA's frontline workers. The study indicated that the frontline workers need training in the areas related to the modernization programme specifically in diversifying income sources for the rubber smallholders. The areas identified are the rearing of sheep cattle and buffaloes (76 per cent) fresh-water fish rearing (73.65 per cent) agricultural economics (73.4 per cent) and poultry rearing (73.28 per cent). The officers were also found to have low job-competencies in these areas probably because the areas are comparatively new within the whole range of rubber small holders development programmes
