...NAME TEACHER COURSE DATE Importance of Vocational Training Introduction: Service Project/Research Topic Though this paper is about Vocational Education and Training, I'll begin with a discussion of reason behind the topic. For the last couple months, our English class has had the assignment to complete twenty hours of service to solve a community issue. For the first while I had no clue what I was going to do for my service project much less find a research topic related to my service. I raked through my memory and I remembered one experience I had with my former wood shop teacher at Orem High School. He had already retired and came in to visit the shop and we were talking about why he had retired. Though he seemed nostalgic and remorseful about leaving the school, he stated very bluntly that vocational education was fading and would soon be unimportant. I did not ever have a chance to ask him what he meant, but I think I figured it out. He meant that in the United States, as well as in countries such as China (Willis 39) and India (Agrawal 453), Vocational Education and Training (VET) has begun to fade and but its significance is still prominent. We already see this in Nigeria. (Kennedy 274) So that is what I picked for my research topic, and I decided to volunteer at Orem High's wood shop and see for myself the advantages and disadvantages of a lower level VET program. I have concluded that VET programs are highly valuable, need support, and should be recognized...

...What I Have Learned From Human Resource Management Class Owen Li Samford University Brock School of Business Abstract I have been taking Dr. Robert W. Service’s Human Resource Management (HRM) class for four months, and I was able to learn insightful thoughts and valuable objectives of human resource management. In this paper, I will discuss the knowledge, principles, and theories I have learned from the articles I have read, the HR managers I have interviewed, and the HRM classes I have taken. The paper will discuss HRM in terms of interviewing and hiring, training, employee development, succession planning, and appraisals. I will also discuss the work environment, employee protection, technologies, and overall HR management-planning and forecasting. Keywords: human resource management, interviewing and hiring, training, employee development, succession planning, appraisals, work environment, employee protection, technologies, overall HR management-planning and forecasting What I Have Learned From Human Resource Class No matter which topic we discuss in our HRM class, they all somehow relate to one objective that Dr. Robert W. Service emphasizes to us all the time: “the organization has the right people in the right positions with the right training and motivation to do tasks effectively and efficiently at the right time” (Service and Loudon, 2010). With this primary HR objective in mind, I realize that HRM plays a very important role in human resource allocation...

...CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION I. BACKGROUND Our future growth relies on competitiveness and innovation, skills and productivity... and these in turn rely on the education of our people. – Julia Gillard. The increase of low-income, low-skilled youth in the labor market, particularly in developing countries, is a major concern internationally. In some regions of the world, young people are nearly three times as likely as adults to be unemployed. They are also more likely to work in the informal labor market than adults, in low quality jobs that offer limited socio-economic security, training opportunities, and working conditions. This enormous unlocked potential represents a substantial loss of opportunity for both individuals and society. With increasing emphasis being given to work- and skills-based solutions to economic competition and poverty in the developing world, comes a renewed focus on technical and vocational education and training (TVET) as a means to expand opportunities for marginalized youth (Tripney, et. al., 2013). Enhancing the quality of basic education in the Philippines is urgent and critical. In line with this, one of the discussions of DepEd which incurred on October 2010 is to enhance the basic education program of the country in a way that is least disruptive to the current curriculum, most affordable to government and families, and aligned with international practice through the K-12 policy. The poor quality of basic education is reflected in the low achievement...

...Issues Concerning Computer Crimes Any time the military or an organization makes a major change, whether it's a new customer service plan, restructuring, downsizing, or in the case of this paper a new leader, it's the job of the leadership and management teams to communicate the new change effectively. "An organization will take on the personality of its top leader" (Phillips, pp 63-4). This famous quote by Abraham Lincoln is as true and accurate in today's organizations as it was over a hundred years ago. The leadership team must enlist the support and cooperation of the employees during these times. If senior leadership does not, both the policies and leadership styles that come with a new leader will inevitably create more turmoil than progress. In this paper the author will discuss and analyze how the entire leadership team (new leaders, senior leaders and middle management) should effectively communicate to the work staff when a new leader takes charge of an organization. The first actions take place before the new leader's first day. There is always a planning phase where senior management starts to target first line supervisors. This planning phase allows senior leaders the ability to communicate change directly. The planning phase is not self-propelling or even self-correcting. Its implementation and monitoring must be carefully planned, along with contingency actions for meeting foreseeable difficulties. Advanced planning for the arrival of a new leader does...

...new and very few people have studied to fill these posts. It can also happen that people have not chosen to study for the course and a scarcity developed in the job. Sometimes special experience is required, for example people with years of experience of management, or in other cases people are needed in certain towns, cities or geographical areas. Scarcity can also be in terms of equity, for example too few women enter into a specific career. 2 How can you benefit? Choose to study for a scarce skill. Not only will you be able to find a job more easily, but chances are that you will be paid better and progress to the top of your career path more easily, because employers will snap you up. Also, some qualifications are scarce all over the world, which means that opportunities open up for you much more easily. You can make an appointment with one of the Department’s careers counsellors to assist you to choose a scarce skill that will suit your abilities and interests. This will assist you to be really happy and more productive in your chosen career. This can lead to even more benefits for you, since you will give your best. The Department of Labour supports many skills development programmes in the area of scarce skills, for example in learnerships,...

...References 12 Automation and Computerization in the Developing World Introduction The early 1990 marked a new era of technological advancement in most parts of the developing world. How automation and computerization has affected work in these countries has been a major topic in the learning of labor market trends and wage distribution in the countries that have so far embraced automated computerized technologies in their service industries (Artuc, Chaudhuri & McLaren, 2010, p. 1027). From a historical perspective, the use of calculators and typewriters in offices marked the beginning of computerization and automation of services in the world. This article provides an overview of research on various areas of concerns all that have shaped these paradigms. These considerations takes a keen attention, especially on how technological changes have affected the wage allocation and employment trends in the labor market, and how these technological changes have affected the bargaining power of low-skilled employees.

...guide the human resource management function optimally [15] 1.2) That human resource management takes place in the public sector and therefore, has a “public” dimension that requires unique skills and competencies [10] 1.1) In any situation, a public sector manager has 4 basic resources at his/her disposal in order to to execute the HR function successfully. These resources are financial, physical, informational and human resources. The most important job of the PSM is to ensure that these resources are used efficiently. Financial resources - salaries, wages, petty cash funds Physical resources - buildings, lecture rooms, computers, cell phones, tables and chairs Informational resources - annual reports, research reports, data on survey questionnaires, post records, leave records, remuneration systems, human resource planning systems, service records, training records, statutes, regulations and instruction codes Human resources - HRM, line function personnel, technical and administrative personnel and other human resource specialists It can be said that human resources plays a larger and more important role than the other resources because PSM in any public sector institution have the responsibility to take decisions on how to use the other resources. All the activities of any enterprise are started and determined by the people who make up the institution. Plants, offices, computers, automated equipment and everything else ...
