...Statement of opportunity The statement of opportunity is a statement showing how your organization can turn the problem (a weaker economy and people losing their jobs) into an opportunity. Your organization provides training to these people so they are marketable for higher paying positions. Human services can help with providing education in a wide variety along with helping in interventions. Caseworkers provide services to individual clients and possibly groups with various needs. I believe that the main goal would be to teach people who have drop out of school how to regain their independence and become a productive person within their communities once again. Human services can help with providing social skills and education, conduct relief programs with certain agencies and facilities. The Salvation Army is one of the agencies that focus on providing job skills to high school dropouts. This is a good way of getting some job skills and training with out the skills dropouts suffer from reduced earnings and lost of many opportunities in the work field. Impact Of Organizational Structure The impact of organizational structure discusses how the challenge affects the structure of the organization and the importance of turning the challenge into an opportunity. One way to approach this is noting that a market with trained professionals may bring business back to the area. The organization will need the staff available to train the new...

...ENHANCING SKILLS AND BEHAVIOR AS A HUMAN RESOURCE STUDENT INTRODUCTION All businesses, no matter what the size, need some sort of organizational structure, consisting of various departments that contribute to the company’s overall mission and goals. Human Resource Management has always played a major role in sustaining the company and maintaining its work force. They are the ones who work for the organization such as employee recruitment and retention, exit interviews, motivation, assignment selection, labor law compliance, performance reviews, training, professional development, mediation, and change management, and many more.

...Problems with Human Services Clients and the Skills to Use to Help Them Marc L. Person BSHS/305 University of Phoenix November 11, 2014 Problems with Human Services Clients and the Skills to Use to Help Them Human Services clients can face obstacles/problems of all kinds. The term client can describe a person, a family, or a group of people in a particular area or neighborhood. The Human Services “Helper” will need to develop many different skills in order to service each client within such diverse echelons. The Problem Chain Clients enter the human service delivery system as individuals with many different perspectives such as psychological, biological, cultural, financial, educational, vocational, and spiritual elements. These elements include life experiences such as family, friends, health, school, work, legal status, residence, safety and security, finances, play, well-being, and personal accomplishments. These perspectives are assimilated into the individual to create the whole person that the human service professional experiences. There are a few possible theories that are used to define the problems and difficulties that individuals face. The developmental theory approaches problems from the life span perspective that describes them as events or crisis that have happened within a lifetime. The situational perspective describes problems that have happened in one instance or timeframe. Meeting basic human needs, both physical and mental, is another method...

...Human Services and Helping Skills Anjelica McCartneyBSHS/305May 23, 2016Cassidy Hawf | | | | Human Services and Helping Skills The human service field is a very rewarding field to work in. Human service professionals have the privilege to help others when in need. However, for human service professionals to accomplish this they must be knowledgeable about and possess a broad range of helping skills. These helping skills are vital to the effectiveness of the services the client receives and to ensure that the individual receives the best possible support and can successfully meet their goals. The five stages of helping skills include preparation, client arrival, exploring the problem, intervention, and termination. In addition to the helping skills, there are also barriers that an individual may face that the human services professional and the client must overcome together. Helping Skills There is a wide array of skills that is pertinent for a human service professional to possess to help engage the client and have a successful outcome. Some of these skills include: active listening, observing, responding, knowing cultural differences and good communication, both verbal and non-verbal. Active listening is one of the most important skills for a helper to practice. When you actively listen to the client it is easier to relate to the individual and to get a better understanding of what exactly the problem is, as well as what caused the problem.

...information is needed, appreciate how the information is prearranged, ascertain the best sources of information for a given need (the need to complete an assignment), locate those sources, evaluate the sources critically, and share that information with other individuals through various mediums. Another source, The American Library Association (1991) states that Information Literacy is “the ability to find, evaluate and use information effectively”. Information Literacy came out of the need of wanting information. In September 1991 to March of 1992, The National Forum on Information Literacy came together, established and circulated the importance of information. We all use information throughout our daily lives; therefore we must have some skills to evaluate our sources of information based on credibility, reliability and validity. We also should be competent in finding prospective sources for information that we seek, how to use information found to critically analyse something or for problem solving, how to organize information for practical application and how to...

...Introduction In this assessment, our aim is to give an explanation about five phases that information will go through in their extended life. This process is called Information Lifecycle. Information Lifecycle had been divided to five phases which is creation, distribution, use, maintenance and disposition. .All of information is been through this process is to ensure that there is no cases such as information overload or information explosion. The information life cycle is a concept in common use. It indicates that informations are not static, but have a life similar to that of biological organisms: they are born, live through youth and old age and then die. The idea was developed in North America by Schellenberg (1956, 37), who wrote about the ‘life span’ of records, this concept can also be employed in our brief explanation about the ‘information lifecycle’ models used in information management and technology. The purpose of this assessment is also to give some example of activities in our daily life that is related with each of five phases that information been through. These examples provide a ‘feel’ for each of the five phases of information lifecycle in today’s turbulent environments. Five Phases of Information Lifecycle. How information is created.

...Within the Wiki: Best Practices for Educators Introduction With the increasing emphasis in higher education to provide opportunities for students to work and collaborate in groups, enhancing problem-solving and critical-thinking skills, instructors are looking beyond traditional course management tools to emerging technologies. One technology that supports group collaboration is a wiki. However, many instructors either don’t know about wikis or how to apply best practices to increase their potential for learning. Therefore, in this paper the author discusses how three faculty members at Boise State University used wikis, the challenges and opportunities they experienced, and specific best practices they developed to enhance learning with wikis. What is a Wiki? If you don’t know what a wiki is, you’re not alone. According to a 2007 Harris Online Poll, only 16% of the U.S. online population knows about wikis (Elowitz, 2007). However, it is highly likely that you have visited a wiki and did not know it. For instance, Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org), an online encyclopedia developed and continually updated by multiple contributors, is a very popular resource and yes, a wiki. Wikis are becoming increasingly popular, as evidenced by a new search engine developed by Wikipedia just for wikis: Wikia (http://search.wiki.com). But what exactly is a wiki? A wiki can be described as a set of linked web pages that can be edited by multiple users (Wagner, 2004). However, the word wiki can...

...The Cemetery Once upon a time, on a dark, quiet, and almost eerie night, there were two girls walking past the cemetery on the way to a friend’s Halloween party. When all the sudden the two girls heard screams of help. Startled by this they decide to go into the cemetery. The fog rolled over the tombstones, just barely visible by the full moon. Towards the middle of the cemetery a dark and ominous figure stood staring at us. It looked like a man but when we took a second look the figure was gone, and then out of nowhere came a warlock from behind a tree, and swooped down. His screams were ear piercing, and his eyes glowed like fire. We ran for our lives. As we ran through the cemetery in hopes of finding the exit, we notice all the graves had been dug up. We didn’t know what we were going to be up against. Our only hope was to find our way out. We walked further into the cemetery and came up upon a tomb. We were about to walk past it when a huge group of bats started coming at us. We decided to take shelter in the tomb. As we entered the tomb we could smell death. I looked down only to notice a trail of bloody footprints. When we looked around we couldn’t see anyone. Then there was a loud bang on the tomb door that made all of us jump. The door was closed; the only option was to walk through the tomb. We were so scared. After walking for what seemed to be an eternity, we notice a light at the end of the tunnel. We all had a moment of hope. We rushed to the end to find...

...Running Running, we were always running. Running for our lives, running from our lives, but no matter what the reason, we were always running. The only time we ever stopped was about every few hours so we could rest and eat. “Who are we running from,” I would always ask my parents. They would just look at me for a while like I wouldn’t understand till I was older. Nothing else. Nothing more. During the day, there was much silence. Most noises came from the wind rustling through leave or the occasional bird. The only time anyone ever spoke was to hurry someone else up or to give directions. All this silence meant that there was a lot of time to think. I would mostly think about my life before we started running. I would think about playing in the park with other boys from down the street, swimming in the river during the summer, and going camping once a year with my parents. I would also think about Christmas. Each year I would only have about two to three presents under our Christmas tree and always having a simple dinner. Every year I would always hear how my friends would get about twenty presents and have a fancy turkey dinner. I always wondered why I didn’t get that many presents and why we didn’t have a fancy dinner. I mean we were not poor. Think about these things made me miss my old life, it made me want to have that life again. A simple life where not everything is perfect, no, but instead a life to be grateful for. I don’t remember much of being grateful...

...Brief History of Human Service Education "During the late 1950s and 1960s, there were dramatic changes in the area of helping those in need. Populations like the poor, the unemployed, children in need, the elderly, the disabled, the substance abuser and others began to be recognized as needing social and rehabilitation services. About this time, new legislation mandated that those formerly served in state mental hospitals would now be deinstitutionalized and would henceforth be seen in the communities in which they lived. It was not long before it became obvious that the traditional human resources would not meet the needs of the helping services being offered. The community based mental health system necessitated that professionals be trained in a different manner. While the provision of mental health services was undergoing these changes, the civil rights movement brought attention to social justice and equity issues. Consumers of social services became more involved in advocating for themselves and in creating services that would meet their own needs. Thus "grass roots" (started by the clients) level activism created opportunities for new approaches to human services. Amidst all these changes, a new class of workers was born. Originally called paraprofessionals, these workers were often those who had been served by the helping system and had a better sense of the qualities and skills that were important for helpers to possess. Thus, what had begun as an informal orientation...
