study used a mixed research approach. Purposive and Random sampling was used to
sample 82 respondents from ENI. Semi-structured interviews and questionnaires
were used to gather primary data from both human resource respondents and
employees respectively while secondary data was obtained directly from ENI for

development within ENI was quite effective but had small loopholes that needed
to be addressed. Factors that made the career development initiative lacking
included bias in selecting employees for training and unfavorable training
policies.</span>
