How to make the employees focused on training? How to lead an effective training program?

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

simply by giving them real life exercise 

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!

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." 

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

This is the rule..

Make it interesting - Keep it Simple - Show them how this will improve their Work & help them achieve more! This will keep them engaged and Make Learning Fun!

Give a thought to the duration of the training program to engage participants in individual and group activity/ educational games too! 

Use Jokes that make them connect with Work and examples in their Work Environment to get them focused throughout the training program.

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.

To create an environment by which employees are constantly sharing they there progress by establishing weekly group meetings. This is an effective way of ensuring that employees are constantly motivated.  

Smart entertaining training also make learning a lot more enjoyable. Everyone needs a little fun sometimes.

Nearly everyone recognizes the value and benefits of workforce training. When done properly, training can make workers more efficient — increasing production, revenue, and profits while decreasing costs, waste, and inefficiencies. So the benefits are many.

Few steps are important to make training more effective and it will also help you keeping your employees focused during the training.

First, we need to identify the training goal. If the goal does not comply with the business needs or the training needs of the employees then employees wont be interested and would loose focus. This will result in waste of time and money.

Second, we need to focus on skill development or we can say different tasks performed by employees and the tools and techniques they use. This step will help us in understanding the skill gap and would also help employees to improve and be more productive.

Third, Engaging employees with different tasks during the training so that they don't feel bored. You need to have a solid learning content, once you’ve created your learning objectives, create content that covers the objectives, any quizzes, tests, case studies, or hands-on exercises performed during training to evaluate your worker’s comprehension of the training should assess only the workers’ understanding of the objectives.

Fourth, Implementation is a must and finally evaluation. Evaluation can be done through surveys such as Survey Monkey etc.
