Grounded in robust secondary data analysis, the research delves into the current practices, key challenges, and strategic opportunities within the training and development landscape. It highlights how capacity building and skill enhancement are not merely HR functions but critical drivers of productivity, innovation, and employee retention. The findings suggest a significant gap in structured training programs and underscore the urgent need for policy-level and organizational interventions. This research offers actionable insights for policymakers, industry leaders, and academicians seeking to align workforce development with industrial growth. It ultimately advocates for a more inclusive, adaptive, and technology-integrated approach to human capital advancement in MSMEs.
