Thus training has a positive impact on work and achievement of individuals. This paper deals with the transitioning of individuals. The paper explains the change that is found in individuals who underwent planned training. The training program by the name Persona: Education is Progress (EIP) was conducted for adult learners interested in personality development. After the training of three months that was conducted for six hours weekly by the authors on various aspects of personality development, the change in these individuals was measured and results notify that these beneficiaries have done exceptionally well in their walk of life. Although the future state of change was not planned by the trainers in this Persona series, results shown after the training program indicate a drastic positive change. Thus the authors emphasize the fact that training is a tool to effect change and if change is planned and the desired results are structured then training as an HR tool can be effective to bring about the change that is desired.
