1. Course Project Overview
Develop a training program to help new managers learn the
fundamentals of employment law and their role in implementing
the policies and practices that maintain legal compliance in the
workplace. Components of the project are assigned in each
module, contributing to the comprehensive final product by the
end of the course.
Training Objectives
Develop 5-7 training objectives for the program. What should
managers know and be able to do when they have completed the
training program?
Program Outline
Develop a 1-page outline of the content you plan to include in
the training program. What major topics and subtopics will be
covered? What are the most important things managers will
need to know about their role in employment law compliance?
Include ideas about the kinds of training methods best suited for
delivering the content and achieving the learning objectives.
· Informational methods: one-way communication to convey
important factual information (i.e. lectures and audiovisual
media).
· Experiential methods: interactive methods to give trainees
opportunity to apply knowledge, practice skills, and
demonstrate behaviors (i.e. e-learning, simulations, case study
analysis, and role play).
·
Annotated Bibliography
Write an annotated bibliography to gather descriptive
information about the sources you will use to develop your
training program; use at least five credible, scholarly resources
besides the text. Once complete, the annotated bibliography will
also serve as a reference list for trainees, a takeaway new
managers can use on the job when confronted with employment

2. law issues and the need to consult specific resources for further
information.
In addition to the bibliographical information about the source
that would typically appear in a works cited list, include a
concise paragraph or two to briefly summarize the content of
the source and to describe how it is relevant to the training or
how it will be useful to managers beyond the training.

defines how an annotated bibliography is different from a
typical works cited list, in that it includes additional descriptive
information about the sources in paragraph form. It further
explains that the annotations, or additional notes about a source,
might serve one or more purposes: to summarize the content of
the source; to evaluate its usefulness, reliability, and
objectivity; and/or to reflect about its applicability to a
particular argument or research. Students who are asked to write
an annotated bibliography will find this information helpful
because it clearly explains what an annotated bibliography is,
why it might be useful to write one, and how to do so (including
links to additional information on formatting in various writing
styles such as MLA and APA).
Training Content, Part 1
Expanding on the outline created in Module 2, develop the
content for the first half of the training program as it will be
presented to trainees. In the outline, you identified the most
important things managers will need to know about employment
law. In this part of the project, you will explain those things in
greater detail so that new managers can better understand their
role in human resource practice and workplace compliance with
employment laws.

3. This component of the project will likely take the form of a
Power Point presentation, although other delivery methods may
be considered. Whatever medium is used, it should allow for a
sufficient amount of detail about each subtopic and key point.
For example, the slides in a Power Point presentation might
contain concise bullet points, while elaboration of those key
points is provided in the “notes” section below each slide (in
normal view, but not visible in slideshow mode). Alternatively,
audio recordings can be added to the presentation so that
trainees may view it in slideshow mode and hear the trainer
elaborate on the key points in each slide. Be sure to cite sources
and provide references for trainees to seek further information.
Training Content, Part 2
Develop the content for the second half of the training program.
Case Study
Write a 2-page original case study in which you present a
scenario (related to some aspect of employment law) for
trainees to analyze. The scenario may be hypothetical, or based
on actual events or circumstances (so long as the names of
individuals and companies are changed to protect privacy and
confidentiality). The case study should provide sufficient
background information and factual details so that trainees can
apply knowledge gained from the training as they analyze the
scenario and formulate solutions or recommendations. The
written case study should include 4-5 questions to stimulate
critical thinking and discussion about the scenario and relevant
concepts.
Trainee Assessment (Knowledge and Application of Content)
Develop an instrument to measure the trainees’ understanding of
and ability to apply specific concepts from the training. To what
extent are they able to do that which was identified in the
training objectives? This portion of the project may take the
form of a traditional paper/pencil “quiz” or a computer-based
simulation, if students have sufficient technology skills. Be sure

4. to provide both questions and answers so that trainees are able
to self-evaluate their understanding of the concepts and their
degree of achievement of the training objectives.
Complete Training Program
Based on feedback from the instructor and peers in previous
modules, make revisions to various portions of the training
program as needed or appropriate. Compile the individual
components into an integrated whole, and submit the final
