...Case Study Analysis Jessie Widder COMM/215 January 17, 2011 John Cantlon INTRODUCTION In this case study about Carl Robins a number of problems occurred. To obtain a clear understanding of what went wrong and the best way to solve these problems, a case study analysis is the way to go. To start off, I believe ABC Inc., made the wrong decision by assigning Carl Robins to the job of recruiting new hires. Carl only had this position for six months. Because Carl was on his own, he should have known that he needed to put a lot more preparation into this job. With only about two to three weeks until orientation is supposed to start, Carl has a lot on his hands. Because of his lack of organization, planning, scheduling, etc., there is a good chance the training will not be able to happen until at least the beginning of July, assuming the computer room is open then. Background Carl Robbins, a new campus recruiter for ABC Inc., was assigned the job of recruiting new hires to work for the Operations Supervisor, Monica Carrolls. He was successful is this task, in which he hired 15 new trainees. What many people think is the easiest part of Carl’s process, was completed. His next step was to train them. He scheduled an orientation to take place on June 15th. Assuming the orientation would go smoothly, Carl was hoping he would have these new trainees working for Monica by the beginning of July. On May 15th, Monica contacted Carl about...

...An organization needs to have training programmes to achieve certain objectives that the company needs to progress in the direction to reach the company’s goals that it has set. The training has to be systematic so that it will be effective. The purpose of a systematic approach to training and development is to access if the training and development has met the training objectives. The other purpose is also to determine if the organization managed to get their return on investment in the training and development. Training and development is linked very closely to the performance in an organization and it is through this process that the company will be able to meet the current or future manpower needs. In an event that there is a gap in the performance of the employees and the organization goals, that is where training will be needed. The organizational needs that will cause the management to conduct training include skill shortages due to ageing population, employees performing poorly, company decide to produce new products, apply new technology, or design new jobs because these changes tend to require new skills. At times the company maybe prompted by outside forces, such as customer requests or legal requirements. The first phase is the training needs assessment phase. In this phase, the training objectives are established. This beginning phase is very important, as it is in this phase that we access what is the direction or mission of the training programmes. In this...

...spare time I like to spend my spare time working on my boat and its engine. Whenever my friends have trouble with their car or scooter its me they call for help because they don’t know what to do and they know i always want to help them out. I’ve always knew what I wanted to do for a living but after 9th grade I took a 10th grade, not because I needed it but because I could take my education as shipfitter while I took my 10th grade. So it was a win win situation. Then one of my teachers found a internship at Svendborg Motorværksted for me. I was going to be working there for 2 weeks. When my internship was over the boss of Svendborg Motorværksted had been so impressed by me so he offered me a apprenticeship when my basic program was finished.

This study aims to examine the role of training in determination of wages. By utilizing the cross-sectional data from Labor Force Survey 2005-06, results have shown that training is not significant in the determination of wages, which shows the poor quality of training in the overall economy. Results were obtained by Ordinary Least Square (OLS) technique. However, schooling and other demographic variables have expected signs and magnitudes. The recommendations of the study based on empirical findings are toward technical education and vocational training institutions; they should ideally have to devise their technical education and vocational training exactly according to the requirements of industry. Empirical results also emphasize to improve the quality of training. Keywords: Wages, Investment in human capital, Training, Cross-section data, Industries, Developing country 1.

...Apprenticeships develop employees who can do many different tasks. They usually involve several related groups of skills that allow the apprentice to practice a particular trade, and they take place over a long period of time in which the apprentice works for, and with, the senior skilled worker. Apprenticeships are especially appropriate for jobs requiring production skills. Internships and assistantships are usually a combination of classroom and on-the-job training. They are often used to train prospective managers or marketing personnel. Programmed learning, computer-aided instruction and interactive video all have one thing in common: they allow the trainee to learn at his or her own pace. Also, they allow material already learned to be bypassed in favor of material with which a trainee is having difficulty. After the introductory period, the instructor need not be present, and the trainee can learn as his or her time allows. These methods sound good, but may be beyond the resources of some small businesses. Laboratory training is conducted for groups by skilled trainers. It usually is conducted at a neutral site and is used by upper- and middle management trainees to develop a spirit of teamwork and an increased ability to deal with management and peers. It can be costly and usually is offered by larger small businesses. Trainers Who actually conducts the training depends on the type of training needed and who will be receiving it. On-the-job training is...

...Kevin McPheeters Instructor’ Choice Assignment Fall2012-ECO2023-Princ Economics II-372686 November 3, 2012 Plumbing In my current position, I have the chance to dabble in many of your typical industrial trades such as electrical work, carpentry, welding and plumbing. As much as I enjoy this type of work, my job requirements create limitations to my knowledge and experience. I work in a maintenance capacity; therefore it is helpful to know a little bit about a lot, as opposed to being experienced in exclusively one trade. All of the aforementioned trades are suffering a shortage of qualified employees, so the opportunity exists to get into any of them and succeed, career wise as well as monetarily. It just amounts to how hard one is willing to work on what are generally considered unglamorous trades. For the purpose of this assignment I am going to focus on opportunities in the plumbing trade. Plumbers are tradesmen that are generally qualified for a wide range of responsibilities, and also need some experience in other trades such as carpentry and welding. Plumbers can handle jobs as simple as one man unplugging a toilet all the way to an entire company dedicating its workforce to constructing a skyscraper. They can handle everything from plastic pipe and glue to cast iron pipes and a welding rig. If they are working on a house, they would need some carpentry skills for plumbing installation. Plumbers have an advantage over some of the other construction related trades...

...Why it is important for companies today to make their human resources into a competitive advantage. Explain how HR can contribute to doing this? In most businesses today, there are two main components, which are the people and the machinery to produce a products or services. The most important assets are the employees. The better the employees (efficient, smart, creative and etc.), the better the business. As stated in Karl Marx postulated on the labor and its relation to capital, basically the only real assets in the business are the people as they are able to create all things from natural resources. All things created started within the brain of man, therefore, all wealth should be distributed on an equal basis (last part of this postulate, "equal distribution" is wrong or a fallacy as all people are not equal in what they produce or contribute). Since HR is an important asset to any business, its play a role in contributing a competitive advantage to the business by providing its expertise in the areas such as: * Organizational development – by creating the value to meet customer satisfaction and developing a unique culture * Compensation and benefit * Managing change and facilitating training and development * Recruitment and selection of staff * Employee relations – by communicating with employees on any issue or concern, Furthermore, HR is also very important in building the capacity and capability of its people to achieve their full potential...

...Abstract The last ten years have witnessed major challenges, reforms and developments in all aspects of life in Turkey. Education, inevitably, has been reconstructed and reshaped in line with the European Union. Having a history of more than 150 years, teacher education was included in the series of reforms. The structure, the training periods and the institutions were the central concern of these of these reforms. Although most of these reforms have been implemented the In-Service Education and Training (INSET), INSET is still experiencing some shortcomings that need to be addressed. This paper is aimed at analyzing the needs of the INSET in both Turkey and the European Union, their similarities and differences and recommendations. Introduction Theories, curricula, methods, strategies and technologies change every now and then. Teachers require INSET in order to adapt to the new systems. Contemporary researches and reports have indicated that the quality education depends on the capability of teachers to develop professionally. The studies continue to explain that the success in the education system will be low if teachers are not placed in the center of these reforms. It is for this reason that the involved policy makers have continually insisted on the need to develop the INSET system as to bridge the gap between the traditional systems and the emerging demands. Teachers therefore need to follow continuous professional development by enrolling in the INSET program. In...
