Well, it's important to enable participants to engage in the session and make learning as a two way process (share information, ask questions and receive input and ideas). providing  various activities during the session is crucial aspect you can look at to make participants focus and work collaboratively.

Training should be tailored according to the audience. Pre-test before training session is a great way to understand the employee's level of knowledge. Content should be in plain English, simple and easy to understand and fun enough to engage the employees. Re-evaluate at the end of the session to plan next steps. Happy Learning!

To make training effective one has to first create a learning environment in the company  in the first place.

Where there is the full support of the CEO and management to enable people learn.

 

Only when this happens are people interested in learning more, getting updated and moving up in their careers.

 

If  people go for programs and come back only to find that they get no support from their line managers and bosses, their colleagues. All learning initiatives would fall flat

Do you mean focused during the training? If so, the trainer has to be in a uptime, excited state so that it may across to the trainees. Voice tone, rythm and inflexions are all things to look for to elicit an uptime learning state among trainees. You also want the session to be a two way conversation because there's so much input someone can receive at once. If your training ressembles more to a lecture than a training, people will get tired fast. Ask open questions that sends their mind in the direction you want to go. No need for yes/no questions like "Do you understand?" Make sure your training goals are skill oriented rather than knowledge oriented and communicate those goals at the start of the training. Ex: "At the end of this training, you should be able to do xyz."

First, it has to be determined whether the training is essential to the trainee's role & responsibility in the organization. Secondly, the trainee should be aware and had fully understand the scope of the training and the benefits he may receive after fulfilling it. Thirdly, the training the employee will undergo should at least be in line with his own Individual Development Plan. 

Look! You need to motivate them then they will do their best.

This is the rule..

Identifying  the need of the audience should be the first priority, if the need is clear then it the chance for the trainer to develop a new module or update the existing one. Once the module is ready and if it is clearly modified based on the need of the end user it is more that enough to attract the attention of the audience and keep them focused on training

First the trainer should focus on the goals and whom the am I training?

Second during the session its important to make eye contact with all the audience,have a pleasant smile give examples( real ones), include small discussions or invite examples and opinions from the employees, also you can modulate your voice depending on the situation and examples, this will keep the crowd active and alert.
