...racticeBriefing Notes: Best Practices in Professional Development Introduction A firm interested in increasing its employees’ skills and competencies while deepening their employees’ commitment to the organization should c onsider three interventions: the nature of the job, formal training and the mentoring/co aching process. This paper on best practices outlines the issues firms fa ce in developing programs in these three areas and disc usses which practices, program designs or methods firms should take up in response to these issues. The Job Research in firms suggests that younger professionals are drawn to two different kinds of firms: the firm with a great reputation in the field, and the smaller, often less reputable, firms that offer younger people a broader range of opportunities. They usually favor the former when they regard their first or secon d job as a way station to a longer-term career in another company or setting and want to garner the “halo” effect of having worked at a great firm. This phenomenon o c curs in other professional services as well. For example, many consultants are happy to go to M cKinsey for their first five years of employment even though the prospect of becoming a partner and then a director are quite limited, and the work itself is extremely taxing. Many firms, however, cannot rely exclusively on the limited supply of skills within the firm to create opportunities for learning and growth. Therefore, these firms must...

...Copyright © eContent Management Pty Ltd. Contemporary Nurse (2011) 39(2): 256–272. Registered nurses returning to school for a bachelors degree in nursing: Issues emerging from a meta-analysis of the research TANYA K ALTMANN Division of Nursing, Sacramento State University, Sacramento, CA, USA ABSTRACT This literature review was conducted to determine what is known about nurses’ attitudes and perceptions about returning to school. There are four societal influences making nursing continuing education important: (1) Many nurses are still practicing with an Associate’s degree or diploma and few continue their formal education; (2) Recent studies have indicated that there are improved patient outcomes in hospitals which employ higher educated nurses; (3) A poor economy during a nursing shortage means high demand and less incentive for nurses to return to school for higher education; and (4) The worsening faculty shortage means an increased need for nurses to advance their education. Understanding nurses’ attitudes and perceptions may help identify gaps in our knowledge, determine ways to foster positive attitudes toward education learning among nurses, and allow us to entice nurses to return to school. It may also identify crucial steps to ensure the provision of quality healthcare.

...a product or service. Work Activities A business strategist develops data, prepares planning documents, researches assigned problems, and recommends appropriate solutions to senior management. He or she also gathers information on competitors' products and services, collects and reviews demographic data on potential customers and measures the effectiveness of marketing strategies in the short and long term. Tools, Technologies and Skill Set According to the career information experts, a business strategist uses desktop computers, analytical or scientific software and project management software when performing duties. She or he also must have good communication skills and effective decision-making aptitude. Introduction: Professional development plan is not a new concept, but it is becoming increasingly important. The continuing pace of change in materials science and engineering means that what we learned in our initial training courses soon becomes dated and irrelevant. It has been estimated that the half-life of technical knowledge is about seven years. Furthermore, the amount of knowledge - and the amount of information - continues to increase. Materials science and engineering has become knowledge intensive: we have entered the knowledge-based economy. In this new world, it is impossible for us to know all that there is to know, yet access to the knowledge base is increasingly readily available. So what will make us good materials technologists, rather than poor...

Solis Jr. Instructor Submitted by: Bansale, Joseph B. Mendoza, Jennina L. Vega Blessed Joy A. Date submitted: September 30, 2013 I. Introduction Background of the Study Learning Management System (LMS) is responsible for “learning” activities. Online learning tasks can be performed at any time or place provided they have Internet access. Online learning environments thus differ significantly from traditional learning environments, where teachers and students must meet regularly at a specific place and time. Online learners become more free, flexible and convenient in time and location of learning. The Philippine Christian University (PCU) elementary school had truly gone a long way it had when it first opened in 1971. Today, it boasts of considerable increase in number of pupils and teachers, as well, thus fulfilling the dreams of the founders of the institution. Indeed, it is a legend turned into reality! Elementary Department indeed is pride and big assets of Philippine Christian University as a whole. Just like any other school...
