This serves as the armour of an individual in facing the demands of life, a life where all his needs are supplemented. Nonetheless to attain such individuals of different status, socio-economic class, are sent to school to pursue his/her education. In the Philippine education system, extra or co-curricular activities are implemented to enhance or improve the learning of students not only on the academic field but also on the co-curricular one. Co- curricular activities include student leadership, campus journalism and campus athletics. These are considered as responsibilities that students involved must take and seriously consider. The Republic Act.no. 7079 or the campus Journalism Act of 1991 serves as the basis of Higher Education Institution in organizing such body.

...CapraTek Training Program Design: HRM 5015 Leading and Managing Workplace Learning Training Topic Topic Identification The training topic I will design for CapraTek is Sexual Harassment: You make the call. Upon interviewing various supervisors for their different plants I found that overall they are all uncomfortable with their knowledge on laws that affect their associates. Considering that the new plant is being opened in a state where there is a mandatory sexual harassment training law. Strategic Needs Due to the mandatory regulation of this training it is cost effective to use this training as an opportunity to grow our leadership. By having a in person session with our supervising team we can instill leadership behaviors that will help them in other areas of leadership. This seminar will give them the tools needed to solve other law/policy related problems. If we have to spend money let us make sure that we are getting a better return on investment from it. Needs Analysis Currently our company’s objective is to open the plant in Illinois and train our supervising staff accordingly. One major obstacle to this is the mandatory regulation of sexual harassment training by the state. Our supervisor must know what is legally required of them and what we expect from them. Our expectation is that they are able to fully understand what is sexual harassment, what are the signs of it, who to prevent it and...

...Sacha Kagan Master CE&CE 2003 page 1 Instructor: Dr. Noordman Seminar: City-Marketing Book review: Peter Senge, The fifth discipline Introduction, or why we should listen to Peter Senge In the seminar on City-Marketing, Noordman insisted on the need for a city to develop its own effective organization climate. A city always has an organization climate, but is not often aware of it, and therefore can have a hard time improving its identity and its image. Senge, in The fifth discipline, helps us understand how we can effectively change the underlying assumptions, the values and norms and some behavioural patterns altogether. Moreover, this is not just about changing the organization climate for a better one. It goes well beyond identifying and fixing the short-terms problems a city faces: Senge leads us to change radically the way we think, so that cities can build sustainable organization climates. Truly understanding the principles of the learning organization will even drive us further than building organization climates for effective city-marketing… because city-marketing is merely a part of the whole issue of city-management and city-policy. I have thus to say right ahead, that I will not oppose any of Peter Senge’s fundamental ideas. I rather will insist on how essential his insights are, in order to avoid the misgivings of traditional modernistic thinking, which is too linear and fragmented to help us understand complex systems like cities. We will follow the plot...
