...Welfare Training Service (CWTS) is one of the three program components of the National Service Training Program (NSTP) established under Republic Act 9163. CWTS covers programs or activities that will add improvement to the common wellbeing for members of the community or its facilities. It aims to instill among the students: citizenship, volunteerism, and career exploration and development. All students of the University of the Philippines need to complete two semesters of CWTS as a requirement for graduation if the student selected this as his or her choice of NSTP component. The teacher has to inculcate to the students that, being scholars of the country, they have to volunteer their service not only to the people but also to the country. This is to show appreciation for the people’s support for their quality tertiary education. Thus, there is integration of civic and social values in the course. What makes teaching CWTS challenging and exciting is that the teacher incorporates statistics in the volunteer work that the students will do. Hence, the teacher prepares the students to do statistical work needed by the public and makes them aware of the different paths they can take in their respective careers. CWTS in the School of Statistics Each college in the University of the Philippines has a free hand in the implementation of a selected program component of NSTP as long as it follows its program concept. The three program components are Reserve Officer’s Training Corps, Civic...

...Succeeding in Supply Chain Management There are a number of students who see the beauty in supply chain management. In order to achieve a Bachelor’s in Supply Chain, students have many obstacles to cross.Students must first realize, what supply chain management is all about. Supply Chain Management shows students the life cycle of a product. This includes different stages like the introduction, growth, maturity and decline stages. The process starts from extracting raw material and producing it to the final good. The process of supply chains sounds simple, however there are many steps to take into account. The steps include planning, purchasing,production,transportation, storage & distribution. Supply Chain is the part of the business that “glues” the different parts of the organization. Students majoring in this field must first plan out a career pathway, gain experience through internships and complete a degree in Supply Chain Management if they plan to reach their goal. Review One of the problems faced by students is planning out a career pathway.

...An analysis of the external environment Introduction The external environment in a business set up consists of the factors outside the organization but still affect its smooth running either positively or negatively. External factors of the environment are divided into two parts namely: directly interactive forces and indirectly interactive forces. The directly interactive forces includes: owners, customers, suppliers, competitors, employees and employees union. The indirect interactive forces includes: socio cultural, political legal, technological, economic and global influences. External factors are the deep internal analysis of the environment. These factors are further grouped into two categories i.e. opportunities and threats. Opportunities are the chances that exist within the external environment and whether the organization wants to exploit them or not. The threats are four factors that threaten the smooth operation of the company. Current and Future External Factors Affecting Business Environment According to (Nebblet, p4), the external environment variables play a role in determining the opportunities and threats a firm faces are twofold. Variables originating beyond a single firm’s are operating situation and variables influencing a firm’s competitive situation.

...Race and Your Community Ethics 125 The analysis of different cultures is a very interesting thing this world is full of all kinds of people. No one is going to be exactly the same yet some a very similar. This paper will cover the impacts, differences and the effects that difference ethnic groups have on my life. The differences between ethnic groups make the world a place of challenges and variety. In my community I have to say that I do look like most of my immediate community. However I live in a part of Houston that is commonly called “the rich part of town” it is mostly a white neighborhood with very few ethnic varieties. If you look all over Houston there are many different cultures and ethnic groups, as I look across the city I have seen an abundance of Mexican Americans, as well as Asians, Indians and African Americans. These different ethnic groups tend to stay in separate regions of the city, although they are not separated by laws they tend to stay separated by choice. I feel like this is one of the only cities that I have lived in that feels very segregated. Leaders in my community often look like me, however after this past years election there now is the very first Hispanic Sherriff in Houston (Harris County Sheriff’s). I was ever excited for the different groups of Hispanics in the area, I am aware that many of these groups feel like they are underrepresented, and this was a major step in the advancement of there representation in the community.

...Chapter 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING Background of the Study In any given classroom and school activity of relatively extended duration and complexity, students’ engagement is never homogeneously high and productive, but rather it fluctuates depending on a number of factors (Mcwayne et al., 2012; Mattingly et al., 2013) such as parental involvement (Ho & Williams, 2008; McNeal, 2009; Jose et al., 2010;). Students engage better in school when parents play a positive role in their learning process (Jackson, 2010; 2011; Green et al., 2012). Students are more likely to make a personal commitment to engage in rigorous learning when they know parents care about how well they do (Kilgore, Snyder & Lentz, 2008; Keyes, 2010). However, despite the crucial role of parents, studies in relation to their involvement remain scarce. Students’ low engagement with academic activities is considered the main reason for dissatisfaction (Kuh, 2009), negative experience, and dropping out of school (Linnenbrink&Pintrich, 2009; Jimmerson, Campos & Greif, 2010). One of the contributory factors is the level of parents’ positive interference to the academic journey of the school (Brookmeyer, Fanti&Henrich, 2008). More significantly, most findings show positive relationship between parental involvement and students’ engagement in school and in the classroom (Dauber & Epstein, 2008; Gorard, Rees &Fevre, 2009;Cotton, 2011;Fantuzzo et al., 2012). Nevertheless, the understanding...

...Introduction Our marketing research project is for the AmeriCorps, Katelyn is currently serving as a member. The AmeriCorps is starting a new student organization on the Kent State campus this year. This student organization is called a HPAC. A HPAC is a Health Professionals Affinity Community. The Health Professions Affinity Community (HPAC) is a newly designed pipeline program to engage students and advance their academic and career progress toward health professions. The program relies on existing community assets and bundling them in a manner that further supports student success. Students from varied circumstances can benefit from opportunities to apply academic learning in real-world circumstances and from learning how to employ existing and at times hidden personal and community resources to improve their community. The goals, strategies, and methods reflected in the HPAC program are consistent with finding ways to better meet the vast needs of the region, of finding and supporting qualified “Ohio” grown students from diverse backgrounds desiring to enter health professions. The key principle of the program is that students increase their academic scholarship, understand the value of research, further engage in the community, and become well prepared young adults who are able to achieve a level of preparation compatible with their health career aspirations. The mission of HPAC is advancing the health and success of students and their communities through mutual learning and...

...Assignment 4: Rewarding Volunteers Due Week 8 and worth 200 points The Online University has established a broadcasting station that must be staffed with volunteers because of budgetary constraints. Volunteers are selected and trained to fill certain roles. The program director did not have a leadership style that worked well with the volunteers, and ultimately he left. For nine months, there was no program director. Another newly hired program director did not get along with the volunteers, and this time, the volunteers resigned and left the station with little help. Write a six to eight (6-8) page paper in which you: 1. Analyze the causes of the problem with understaffing at the Online University. - Budgetary constraints - Who trained and selected the volunteers - What type of trained they received - Leadership - Why did the director leave? - For nine months, no program director. - New program director did not get along with the volunteers (what type of leadership style he or she have) - All volunteers resigned without warning. Business environments these days make it vital for organisations to have a competent manager and leader, who knows his own responsibilities; but can also guide and direct others in their work areas. Companies select leaders who can use their leadership techniques to modify their company into a secure and profitable business. Effective leadership undoubtedly affects work motivation, as it can increase team morale and motivation and can...

Federated Department Stores, Inc. (renamed Macy’s, Inc. in June 2007) was born through the combination of Abraham & Straus of Brooklyn, Filene’s of Boston, F&R Lazarus & Co. of Columbus, OH, and Bloomingdale’s of New York. Each of these retailers was an established, prominent presence with a rich history of its own. In joining together, they agreed to maintain their separate identities while linking their financial interests. These pioneers recognized the immense opportunity that lay before them and on November 25, 1929, Federated Department Stores was incorporated as a revolutionary new company in American retail. As Federated emerged in the years of the Great Depression and World War II, it became apparent that the corporation...
