What do you call those being trained/developed?

Recently there's been much copious discussion on the most suitable term for those being trained or developed: 


Is it learners, students, pupils (somewhat old fashioned!), delegates, participants or trainees?


As with many aspects of learning and development, it's probably a case of 'best fit, rather than best practice'. Consequently, if the term learners is appropriate then use it; conversely with delegates, or students.


As the person delivering the learning and development, you decide which term is more appropriate.
