PREPARING STUDENTS and STAFF to MEET JOB SEARCH GOALS!
Enrollments at community colleges are at an all time high. Over the next decade enrollment is expected to increase 14 percent, of which 80 percent will be minorities. Most administrations would applaud enrollment increases but not in this day and age—WHY? Because 43 states are facing substantial revenue crises and most others are slashing their budgets.
Uncertain economic times have created a sluggish national economy, leaving many states reeling. Data compiled by the National Conference of State Legislatures shows these states are operating in the red—as much as $85 billion. Though most set aside tax revenue for higher education, less money will be available for educational services.
YOUR ROAD TO SUCCESSFUL WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT . . .
has been paved by the development of this unique user-friendly series which helps the unemployed (and under-employed) identify appropriate skills for appropriate jobs.
These CD-ROM based educational modules deliver 40-hours of self-paced instruction for skill assessment, resume preparation and interview techniques. Each module is independent of each other and has expected goals for completion.
All instruction and course materials are developed by instructional development professionals who take into account the design and style most comfortable for workers, no matter what their background or experience for easy, user-friendly success. Participants are provided with both print and streaming video visuals for step-by-step assessment, preparation, submission and encouragement—including printer-friendly pages and cited URL resource links.
