Question description

Assignment: Designing a Training Program.

Create a written proposal in which you detail the complete design of an employee training program.

Write a six to eight (7-9) page paper in which you:

  1. Design a two (2) day training program for a group of twenty (20) employees.
  2. Identify two to three (2-3) training needs though a Training Needs Analysis (TNA) and justify an approach for this training.
  3. Develop the training objective for this program based on an analysis of the business.
  4. Determine the training cost for the training program you are proposing. Include a detailed breakdown of time allotted for each piece, the subsequent cost analysis, and the total cost for the project as a whole.
  5. Select key training method(s) to deliver the program to employees, such as an e-Learning module or a one-day face-to-face training program.
  6. Create an agenda of activities for the training program.
  7. Use at least five (5) quality academic resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as academic resources.
  8. Format your assignment according to the following formatting requirements:
  9. Typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.
  10. Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.
  11. Include a reference page. Citations and references must follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

  • Identify when to conduct a Training Needs Analysis (TNA).
  • Analyze the various approaches to performing a Training Needs Analysis.
  • Develop strategies for training design.
  • Use technology and information resources to research issues in training and development.
  • Write clearly and concisely about training and development using proper writing mechanics.

A more detail break down. (think training and development proposal, NOT business management or administration).

The following is what I will be looking for in your week eight paper. Please check your work again before turning it in. No guarantee that you will be able to redo your work.

Design a two (2) day training program for a group of twenty (20) employees. This question requires a response similar to the material on pages 134 – 138, 194 – 195, 306 – 311, and 337 – 344. This is a lengthy response and contains parts of some of the following questions. It is not an agenda. That is question six. Please reread the pages to see how a proper Training Program of any length should be created.

(Designing a Training Program.)

Identify two to three (2-3) training needs though a Training Needs Analysis (TNA) and justify an approach for this training. TNA’s are either proactive or reactive and both provide an organizational analysis, an operational analysis, or a person analysis. These items need to be identified in your response of the question. Pages 124 – 129

Develop the training objective for this program based on an analysis of the business. Based on the choice of proactive or reactive TNA, and an operational, organizational, or person analysis, your objectives need to address the training needs and be focused on either the trained reaction, learning, transfer of training, or organizational outcome. Pages 152 – 158

Determine the training cost for the training program you are proposing. Include a detailed breakdown of time allotted for each piece, the subsequent cost analysis, and the total cost for the project as a whole. This should be a chart or table similar to the one on page 151, or for e-training on pages 266 and 267. You should have a list of training items as well as personal costs listed with their respective costs AND a total cost. In addition to the chart, you must have a narrative explaining the chart or table.

Select key training method (s) to deliver the program to employees, such as an e-Learning module or a one-day face-to-face training program.Chapter Six was all on training methods with a table on page 237 and 237 listing lecturettes, open discussion, demonstrations, small-group discussion, equipment simulators, business games, memory games, in-basket and case studies, role-play, behavior modeling, task-related exercises or activities, coaching, and mentoring. Chapter Seven was all on electronic training methods with a table on page 253 listing CBT, PI, IM, ITS, and Virtual Reality.

Create an agenda of activities for the training program. An agenda should contain some of the following traits: Type the name of the training at the top of the agenda. Add the date, time, and location of the training. Make a list of the items you need to cover. For instance, if the training session is on Fire Safety, some of the items to be covered might include Electrical Safety, Fire Hazards, and Emergency Evacuation Plans. Organize the items in the order to be presented. Put them into a logical sequence. For instance, it may not make the most sense to start Fire Safety training by going over the Emergency Evacuation Plans before explaining how to identify fire hazards. Start the agenda with Introductions and end with Questions and Answers. Assign each topic item a bullet point or a numeral. Include the name of the individual responsible for presenting a particular item if more than one person is conducting the training.
 Review the agenda to verify it includes everything. Compare the duration of the training to the amount of information on the agenda. Adjust the agenda if you feel that the training will run over or run short. The agenda needs to be in chart or table form and MUST have a narrative.

Management of Planned & Unplanned Termination

/in , , , /by

Discussion 2: Management of Planned & Unplanned Termination

(Management of Planned & Unplanned Termination)

Ending a client relationship can be just as difficult as ending a personal relationship. In fact, while much of the literature addresses when to terminate, a more significant topic is the feelings that surround termination. Depending on the client and the length of treatment, saying goodbye can be hard for both of you. As a result, you should prepare for termination and the feelings surrounding this step of the GIM process early in the client-social worker relationship.

While you generally anticipate that successful treatment will lead to the eventual termination of the client relationship, there are a variety of other reasons for why this relationship might come to an end. There might be a set number of sessions the client’s insurance will allow, or maybe the end of your internship is quickly approaching. Maybe termination results from the unexpected, like a new job, an illness, or the client leaves without notice. Regardless of the cause, you and your client must be prepared for the end of your working relationship. Not discussing termination can result in uncomfortable feelings, including anger and disappointment for the client. As the social worker, you might feel disappointed about not being able to see the treatment through to completion. Even when termination is a planned event, clients might respond with anger, increased silence, missed sessions, or early termination. If they feel positive about this next step, they might express feelings of satisfaction and pride, with an appropriate amount of sadness about losing this relationship. While you are involved in a purely working relationship, you may be surprised at how many emotions or what types of emotions might surface for both of you when terminating the relationship.

For this Discussion, review this week’s Learning Resources. Consider potentially positive and negative feelings that you, as a social worker, and the client might feel regarding the termination of a therapeutic relationship. Then, think about how you might assist the client with the potential negative feelings. Finally, reflect on how you might help yourself with your own potentially negative feelings.

By Day 4

Post a brief description of two potential positive and two potential negative feelings that both you, as the social worker, and the client might feel, regarding the termination of a therapeutic relationship. Then, explain a skill you might use to assist a client with the potential negative feelings. Finally, explain how you might help yourself with your own potentially negative feelings.

Support your posts and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources. Be sure to provide full APA citations for your references.

Discussion Question: Values of Therapist

Discussion Question: Values of Therapist

(Discussion Question: Values of Therapist)

Discussion Question: Values of Therapist

In an ideal world, the values of the therapist would not influence therapy or the therapist’s reactions to clients. However, when therapists deny their values or minimize their views on important issues during interactions with clients, this can cause problems in the therapeutic relationship. In an effort to explore the many issues that can arise concerning a therapist’s values and how they affect the therapeutic process, please respond thoroughly to each of the following questions:

  1. Do you think therapists should deliberately reveal their values to a client in therapy? If so, why do you believe this is important? If not, what potential difficulties might this cause for the client or the therapeutic process?
  2. How much importance should a therapist place on helping the client identify and verbalize his or her values as they relate to their presenting problem?
  3. Based upon your response to question 2, explain why a client’s value system is vital or inconsequential to the therapeutic process?
  4. Discuss one practical strategy you could use in therapy to help identify and clarify a client’s value system without imposing your own.

Assignment 2: Discussion—Addiction to Chemical Substances

There is much controversy that surrounds the etiology of addictions. Some theories suggest that addiction is related solely to genetic factors, while others identify environmental factors as the primary influences on addictive behavior. Most contemporary theories support the idea that both genetic and environmental factors contribute to substance addiction. However, there is still much debate about this in the field.

Use the module readings and the Argosy University online library resources to research chemical substance addiction.

Select a category of chemical substances with addiction potential (for example, alcohol, stimulants, or opiates). In this assignment, you will examine this selected substance in detail.

  • How might a person become addicted to that category of chemical substance? Describe the process.
  • What are the various genetic and environmental factors that contribute to the development of substance addiction as related to that category?

Support your responses using your readings and authoritative resources. Incorporate theory and factual information in your response such as examples of research findings related to addiction.

Write your initial response in 2–3 paragraphs. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

By Saturday, August 29, 2015, post your response to the appropriate Discussion Area. Through Wednesday, September 2, 2015, review and comment on at least two peers’ responses. Comment on the points made by asking questions, providing clarifications, giving another point of view, challenging their views, or showing relationships between two or more points in the discussion.

All discussion assignments in this course will be graded using a rubric. Download the discussion rubric and carefully read it to understand the expectations.

Continue to monitor the discussion forum until 5:00 p.m. Mountain Standard Time (MST) on Day 7 of the week and respond to anyone who replies to your initial post. Peer responses may vary in length but should be detailed and thought provoking. Your grade will reflect both the quality of your initial post and the depth of your responses.

Consider the following in your responses:

  • Were the theories complementary, or did they exist in conflict?
  • Provide specific examples of divergence between the theories as described.
  • Were there associated issues and/or cultural considerations your classmate did not mention that should have been included in his or her initial post?
  • What ethical consideration(s) should have been included?
  • How does your explanation of classical and operant conditioning differ from your peers’ explanations?

Pose questions that could encourage facilitation of the discussion. Look for peers whose posts have not yet been responded to and reply to these so that everyone has a chance to reflect and develop their knowledge more fully.
