Context you provide

- {{skill_gaps}}: Description of the skill gaps or areas for improvement (e.g., "data analysis skills", "customer service soft skills").
- {{resources}}: Available resources and budget (e.g., "$10,000 budget, 2 internal trainers, access to LinkedIn Learning").
- {{industry_trends}}: Optional recent trends or best practices to incorporate (e.g., "agile methodologies in software development").
Instructions

- Incorporate industry trends and best practices where relevant.
- Structure the plan with clear objectives, timeline, milestones, budget allocation, and evaluation criteria.

Output format A structured training plan document with sections: Overview, Objectives, Training Methods, Timeline & Milestones, Resource Allocation, and Evaluation. Use clear headings and bullet points. Keep the tone professional and actionable.
