Re- Training

@Joyfano
It is good to have the person open up, if slowly, about outside issues.
There is a demarcation between work life and home life. HR may have coping options or counseling options for the home life items. (In the U.S. this isn't uncommon, but not necessarily greatly helpful.)
Meet with the person (& maybe have a HR person present, too). Reiterate the job's priorities. Inquire how the the person can meet the expectations of the job and the team. (May help to pre-plan with HR the meeting's agenda and exact "talk items".) Have the person commit to the proposed plan of action. Continue to meet frequently to not let issues be unresolved. Don't judge, rather let the person speak fully and hear everything (....repeat what has been said at proper points to show you have heard and understand what the person has said).

Also make sure It's not a US against them mentality to the meeting. For these kinda of meetings I find that the board room (long fancy tables) aren't the best as it puts more pressure and the us against them mentality to it. I circular table for this kinda of meeting can help along with conveying the message that we are all one team.

Hello Everyone. I just started to train him again today. From very basic.
@RoguePacket yes i did ask him to open up about his goal.I am shocked because he said he don't know what he really want.Told him that he need to help himself if he really want to learn. I encouraged him to learn things outside from work. ( We are really do the training during working hours) I am gathering some opinion and ideas from ML and from other Community.

@Joyfano...and not professional.
It has been often questioned when getting new employees: Should the hiring manager,
- Get the one with the best technical skills?
- Get the one with the best temperament?
"Skills" looks attractive, but "temperament" wins. There is a caveat in the person needs be willing and able to develop their own skills within and outside the company & within and outside the job description.
After all, that issues of all types arise is expected, what is important is how they are handled. Even in "bad situations", not resolving can be (somewhat) okay if the inability or delay in resolving is communicated expeditiously and effectively.
Better fortune with the next person!

Yes not professional.
The next person i am planning to hire our "Intern last 2012" -
I've heard it called Values, Attributes and Skills. Skills are easy to teach and matter, but very little. They matter a lot in short term consultants, not in employees you hope to keep. Even if they have the skills that you want they will soon be outdated.
Attributes or Aptitude (similar ways to look at the "A") are not easy to change but can be changed with effort over time. Finding someone with the "A"s that you need is important or at least getting someone who is close. Anyone with the right "A" will be able to acquire the skills necessary quite easily and will be able to keep doing so as the needed skills change over time.
But the most important aspect is Values and these, effectively, cannot change. Finding someone whose values match those of your organization is of the utmost importance. Without these you will have fundamental conflicts and incompatibilities that will make the relationship untenable.

Never read that before. Well written.

Matching values would be what contribute to a strong and healthy culture.
