Resumo(s)
This research sought to increase knowledge and understanding about vocational training practices, with
a particular attention to the connection established between cross-functional training and technical
training. Although there has been an increasing investment in crossfunctional training, there is a lack
of knowledge about its aims and its contribution on the achievement of business goals. This research,
of qualitative nature, was conducted by individually interviewing 15 directors of human resources or
other training managers of companies from different branches of activity and business areas (health,
transportations, hospitality, pharmaceutical, among others). The content of each interview was transcribed
and then returned and validated by all the participants. All data was organized and examined with the
use of NVivo10 software. This research made clear, among many other aspects, that training´s most important contributions are related to the anticipation of organizational needs and the identification of
business aims. It was also registered an increasingly investment on cross-functional training (although
vocational training remains the most frequent). The objectives aimed with the two types of training are
quite different, as the technical training seems to be closely associated with work performance, and the
cross-functional training related to the promotion of cohesion and team work.
