Introduction:

Congratulations! You have just been hired as the chief trainer for a large financial consulting operation headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. This is a company that flourishes on the basis of the fact that other companies need help to get their finances “squared away.” The company wants to develop and retain internal folks for major growth opportunities. They understand that personal growth, development, promotion, and recognition are the keys to a highly efficient and effective workforce. Therefore, the owner decided to implement a twelve-month training opportunity for anyone interested in personal growth, development, promotion, and recognition.

The owner has decided the name of the program to be “The GAP Endeavor,” which stands for growth, advancement, and performance. Anyone can become a financial advisor who, prior to training, lacks the hands-on experience to ensure success of the person and company. Aspiring financial planners participate in both online and face-to-face learning during the first ten weeks of the program. In the classroom, the instructors provide knowledge about finance, financial products, and selling. Also, to enhance selling skills and customer service, learners engage in role-plays. The next nine months of the program include mentoring and on-the-job experiences. Learners work with experienced financial planners in their practices, providing real and timely advice to clients. During these nine months, the learners are provided with on-the-job coaching, professional development, and complete compliance training.

After successfully completing the program, the learners achieve the status that allows them to start their new venture and join one of the company’s personal financial practices. The owner has asked you to provide information regarding determining the success of The GAP Endeavor.

Tasks:

• Analyze why training should be evaluated.
• Describe the evaluation process and explain what it should look like for this effort.
• Analyze the outcomes of the evaluation process and include how the data should be collected.
• Explain which evaluation design the evaluation process should use.

To support your work, use your course and textbook readings and also use the South University Online Library. As in all assignments, cite your sources in your work and provide references for the citations in APA format.

You are a Consultant Recruiter with XYZ Recruitment, Inc. You have been contracted by “State University” to assist them with the recruitment and selection of a Project Associate for the university. A job description for this position is attached to assist you with the development of your action plan and presentation.

For this assignment, create a PowerPoint slide presentation for the HR team of the university that details your recruitment strategy, process, procedures, and the timeline for the completion of this contract.

Your submission must be comprehensive to include the role of the recruiting agency and the role of the university HR team and line management in the recruitment and selection process.

Submission Instructions: Submit your work as a Microsoft PowerPoint (.ppt) presentation. The body of your presentation should include at least 10-12 presentation slides, plus a title slide, introduction slide(s) detailing the presentation agenda, and a reference(s) slide for a total of no more than 15 slides.

You must support your ideas, arguments, and opinions with independent research, and include at least three (3) supporting references or sources (Note: do not use dictionaries, encyclopedias, Wikipedia, unknown, undated, or anonymous sources, such as brief articles from websites).

Helpful Tips:

Your grade will be based upon:

• Use of PowerPoint software as a presentation and marketing tool, to include the use of color, graphics, and research citations.
• Depth and applicability of the research that you conduct.
• Effectiveness of the recruiting presentation and proposal as a consulting tool.
• Critical thought and analysis.
• APA formatting (APA, 7th Edition).
• Use of the PowerPoint Notes section*

*Students will be graded on their use of the Notes section of the slides in formulating the narrative portion of the presentation to minimize lengthy wording on the slides. This approach will allow the use of bullet points on the slides but demonstrate the depth and scope of the research conducted in the Notes section.

APA Resources:

I encourage you to go online to Purdue OWL, or Excelsior OWL, which have writing labs for students. Look up PowerPoint presentations in APA format in the search box. These websites will have helpful tips on best practices.

Identify the strategic direction of a company in the hospitality and tourism industry. It might be a company that you worked or are currently working at. It might be a company that you are interested in working for after you graduate. Or it might be a company that you are inspired by its products, service, or culture. Locate the company’ strategic direction on its website, company marketing flyer, or orientation materials. Please do not repeat the questions on your answer sheet.

1. Mission Statement
    
2. Vision statement
    
3. V alues
    
4. Statements or program description of social responsibility
    

 write a Personal Travel Strategy statement that is 2 double-spaced pages (1 inch margins, 12 point font) in length; graduate students’ statements should be 4-5 pages in length.

Discussion is to be submitted in 12-point Times New Roman font using APA format with a minimum of two sources. 

Research questions that lend themselves to a qualitative approach often address questions about how people construct meaning. In this way, qualitative research questions set the stage for open-ended, inductive inquiry.

For this Discussion, review the case study entitled, “Social Work Research: Program Evaluation.” Consider the kinds of questions that inform a qualitative approach. Think about the quantitative method described in the case study and consider methods you might use to investigate the effectiveness of a program from a qualitative perspective.

Post your explanations of the following:

• What kinds of research questions lead to a qualitative approach?
• If you chose to conduct quantitative research in your Week 4 proposal, how might you reframe the research question in a way that lends itself to a qualitative approach?
• If you focused on a qualitative proposal in Week 4, describe the qualitative research question and explain the rationale for choosing a qualitative approach.
• Be sure to explain how you might collect the data.
• Consider which qualitative method (case study, grounded theory, ethnographic research, cross-sectional research, feminist research, or participatory action research) would be most suitable for answering the research question.

Please use the resources to support your answer.

Respond to the following prompts in a minimum of 175 words:

• Search the internet for real-world applications of logarithms or exponential functions. Share the application you discovered with the class along with how it relates to logarithms or exponential functions. Be sure to cite the resource. What is the relationship between exponentials and logarithms?

Although Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 does not prohibit employment discrimination based on sexual-orientation or gender-identity, a number of states have enacted laws that do prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual-orientation and/or gender-identity. 

• Discuss whether there is one or more state or local      laws in your state prohibiting employment discrimination based on      sexual-orientation or gender-identity.

Question B

U.S. law mandates basic democratic procedures within unions including election provisions. Many national leaders are regularly re-elected while there is greater turnover of leaders at the local level. What explanation can you give for this?
