This paper examined job satisfaction and productivity as correlates of quality health workforce training for achieving sustainable development health goals in the college of health Makarfi, Kaduna State. Three (3) research objectives, questions and hypotheses guided the study. Correlation was employed and the population of the study was all academic and non-academic in colleges of heath Makarfi, Kaduna state totaling three hundred and ninety-three (393), out of which a sample of two hundred and seven (207) was selected through purposive and proportionate sampling techniques. The instruments titled “Determinants of Job Satisfaction and Productivity Questionnaire (DEJOBSAP)” and Quality Health Workforce Training for achieving Sustainable Health Development Goal (QHETSHDG) were used for data collection. Cronbach alpha method was used to test the instruments’ reliability. Thus, reliability co-efficient of .842 and .891 were obtained respectively. Descriptive statistics of mean and standard deviation were used to answer the research questions. While the null hypotheses were tested using Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC). The study found that there was a positive significant relationship between job satisfaction and staff productivity as correlates of quality health workforce training. Also, there was a positive significant relationship between male and female responses on job satisfaction and productivity as correlates of quality health workforce training for achieving sustainable health development goals in colleges of health Makarfi, Kaduna State. Based on the findings, it was recommended among others that, the government and administrators of colleges of health should be committed to staff welfare such as remuneration package, work conditions, promotion, allowances, and job security among others to motivate staff to invest more time in teaching/research work for quality health workforce training in Kaduna State.
