A Job Search Action Plan is a vital tool to ensure you implement your job search campaign effectively. When creating a Job Search Action plan, the first step in the process is to consider
your options and opportunities.
Below outlines four example scenarios for you to consider:
Same Function/Same Industry: You are seeking the same kind of job, but with a different employer. Your career is compatible with your skills, talents and interests. You are content with the industry and are looking for a similar position.
Same Function/ Different Industry: You are satisfied with the work you have been doing, but have decided it is time to move to a different industry.
Different Function/Same Industry: You want to remain in the industry but want a different kind of work. You may have discovered that the match between your strengths and the job have drifted off track.
Different Function/Different Industry: You have decided that nothing short of a total career and industry change is what you want. This may be in response to the worldwide business and
technological changes or elimination of a once-promising position. This is great for entrepreneurs and start-ups. This will likely take the longest of the four options.
Define Your Role / Function /Title:
- Role - this is your position within an organization: eg. management, individual contributor, or staff.
- Function - refers to your responsibilities: eg. marketing, operations, or information technology.
- Job Title – this could be as specific as Operations Director/Manager or could be more generic such as Operations Professional.

This is a list of specific organizations to approach for job opportunities that match the job search criteria that you have developed. This list can range from five to several hundred organizations, but it must be manageable for you. Even if you’re still working on your Target Opportunity definition, and you know of some organizations you want to explore, add them here.

THIS WEEK’S WORK IS TWO DISCUSSIONS. Week 6: Social Change and Professional Development
The characteristics of program design and evaluationare intended to provide some level of recommended change or action as a result of the systematic investigation into a program’s effectiveness. Evaluation can provide answers to questions about a program that may be useful in adjusting a program to become more effective. Because evaluation results in insight about the effectiveness of a program for a specific population, evaluation can be used to implement social change or action. Evaluation findings may assist stakeholders (those who hold an interest) or decision makers in go/no-go decisions about specific program modifications or initiate the continuation or demise of the entire program. Today, social policy and public administrative movement are closely associated with social program outcomes and effective evaluations.
This week, you present your design for a program addressing the needs of the homeless population in your community and analyze how your program may effect social change. You also evaluate your potential to impact areas of human services delivery and assess the benefits of participating in professional human services organizations.
Objectives
By the end of this week, you should be able to:
· Analyze how human services program design and evaluation influence social change
· Evaluate personal impact on areas of human services delivery
· Analyze how professional organizations contribute to professional development

1 The course project is a strategic management plan for an organiz.docxjeremylockett77
1 The course project is a strategic management plan for an organization of your choosing (Intel). Please read the Course Project - Introduction page in this module before attempting this assignment. Now it's time to select a company that you'd like to use for the course project. It's important that you choose a company that is easily researched. You're going to need to find information on their current business practices and makeup. That can be very hard to do with small local businesses, but easier with larger publicly traded companies. It's also important to choose a company that you're interested in and want to learn about. This will make the project more engaging.
For the first part of your assignment this week, write a paper that's at least a page in length and completes the following:
· Identify a company for which you wish to develop a strategic management plan. You may wish to conduct some preliminary research to help you understand a little more about the company you chose. Intel is the company we are using
· Provide a brief description of the company including what they do, what they're known for, and their reputation within the current business environment.
· Provide your reasons for selecting this company. Be thorough and specific with your explanation.
2 The next phase of your strategic management plan will require you to research your company's history and existing strategic goals. Before we can make major improvements to the business, we first have to understand where they came from and what they're currently trying to accomplish. Use reliable business sources, the company website, and any traditional appropriate sources to gather as much background information that you can. For the second part of your assignment this week, write a paper that's at least two pages in length and addresses the following:
· Detail the history of the business. Explain how they got their start but focus mostly on how their business has changed over the last 15 years. Provide a picture of how they adapt to change and any major obstacles that they've had to overcome.
· Include some information on the top executives at the company and the role that they've played in those last 15 years.
· Provide the company's existing mission statement and code of ethics. In what way do they articulate their ethical practices through policies and public outreach and why is this important?
· Identify two areas of concern ethically and explain those choices. Make sure to discuss why you feel that are areas of ethical concern. Think critically about where your chosen company has the potential for ethical dilemmas. For example, an accounting firm would be concerned with fraud.
· Rewrite your company's mission statement. The idea is to provide clarity and set the new strategic direction that you think the company should be moving towards. Include a paragraph explaining the changes that you've made and why.
Be sure to document your sources using APA notation. Information o ...

The California test score Data SetThe California Standardized Test.docxmamanda2
The California test score Data Set
The California Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) dataset contains data on test performance, school characteristics and student demographic backgrounds. The data used here are from all 420 K-6 and K-8 districts in California with data available for 1998 and 1999. Test scores are the average of the reading and math scores on the Stanford 9 standardized test administered to 5th grade students. School characteristics (averaged across the district) include enrollment, number of teachers (measured as “full-time-equivalents”), number of computers per classroom, and expenditures per student. The student-teacher ratio used here is the number of full-time equivalent teachers in the district, divided by the number of students. Demographic variables for the students also are averaged across the district. The demographic variables include the percentage of students in the public assistance program CalWorks (formerly AFDC), the percentage of students that qualify for a reduced price lunch, and the percentage of students that are English Learners (that is, students for whom English is a second language). All of these data were obtained from the California Department of Education (www.cde.ca.gov).

Mission statement: At In-Healer we promote wellness, healing, and over all health quality improvement through our product. The In-Healer is a portable oxygen chamber, also known as a bariatric chamber. The physiology of our product is rather simple. An individual can enter our enclosed chamber and will be encased in pressurized pure oxygen. This oxygen at increased atmospheric pressure will deliver large volume volumes of Oxygen to the cardiopulmonary system, where the blood's plasma and hemoglobin is now enriched in oxygen. This therapy has been proven beneficial in many cases, especially those seen in athletes who are participating in contact sports, or any person who puts their body in physical stress. The enriched blood will promote tissue repair, increased brain functions and promotes lactic acid removal for a speedy recovery after a workout. This is something any physically active or health conscious person will want to possess.

In our society as we deal on a daily basis with threats and opportunities we often don’t consider the events that got us to where we are today. We just try to work ahead and make something that is new or better than what we perceive we have now. In doing so we may be repeating mistakes from the past and we may be overlooking some success that has already occurred. Itis important to know the history of the type of venture that we are engaged in so that we can use our time and resources efficiently. This can certainly be said of police/citizen relations.
For this week’s assignment consider how American policing has evolved from its earliest beginnings until now. Analyze the memorable events and remarkable people who influenced the development of our system and describe why changes were made and how effective they have been. Critically examine the early founding principles of policing, such as those suggested by Sir Robert Peel and apply those principles to what is actually happening today.

Feminism
We will be working on strengthening our ability to properly cite our philosophers with this discussion post looking again specifically at author-date in-text citations. We will not be providing bibliographic entries for this post.
I have provided a copy of the notes from our earlier discussion below for reference.
For in-text citations we will use this recipe:
"These are some example words as might be quoted by a student of philosophy" (Author's Last Name Most Recent Copyright Date of the actual Text you are referencing, page number again from the actual text you are referencing). i.e. "But enough. It is now time to leave---for me to die, and for you to live--though which of us has the better destiny is unclear to everyone, save only to God" (Plato 2011, 50). This is a reference to our class's textbook so notice it is that copyright date and that page. Think of these citations as breadcrumbs that can lead your reader to the exact quote in the exact book so they can read more if they so choose.
Assignment:
This assignment is going to be a bit different than what we have done in the past as it will involve trying to put yourself into the headspace or mindset of another classmate.
Two Texts:
We have two (2) texts for this module on feminist theory and epistemologies. We have the French existential feminist philosopher Simone De Beauvoir whose introduction to the
The Second Sex
asks us to take a critical look at what society claims, demands, and promulgates that a woman is. We are introduced to a concept of gender as possibly being different than sex. We are provided with an idea that biology might be different than the socialization or social construction involved in performing a gender or being gendered. Her thoughts center around notions of freedom and the opposite, what is named by her (and also written about by Jean Paul Sartre) as acting in "bad faith". We often avoid our freedom by giving our choices to others. We treat ourselves (like we might poorly treat others) as objects rather than being authentic and participating in our own expansive transformative growth. Beauvoir provocatively then suggests that one is not born a woman but rather becomes one.
Maria Lugones and Elizabeth Spelman provide an overview and critique of feminist theories and the practices born of them. They expose the difficulties of theorizing for a broad array of women as though there might be some one-size-fits-all way of talking about the lives of women. They connect this historical difficulty in a delightful way to their own working relationship as being a Latina and a white/Anglo woman. Through their discussion we are given a retelling of the ongoing disappointment, not only of women often not being allowed a place to speak from, b.

(Page 132) G. Prewriting: Using the Toulmin Model to Get Ideas for a Position Paper
You have used the Toulmin model in Exercises B through F to read and analyze other people’s argument. Now use it to identify the main parts of an argument you will write. You may use the model to help you plan any argument paper. Use the Toulmin model as a prewriting exercise to help you develop ideas for a position paper.
1. Write the claim. All of the rest of your paper will support this claim.
2. Write the support. Write two or three subclaims you will develop in the paper. To help you do this, write the word “because” after the claim, and list reasons that support it. Also jot down ideas for specific support for these subclaims, such as examples, facts, opinions, or visual images that come from your reading of the essays or from your own experience.

Toulmin Analysis of the “Road Trip” Cartoon
Identifies claim and support.
The reader has to infer the claim of this cartoon since it is not directly stated. The claim is that screens have replaced face-to-face conversation as the primary way people now interact with each other. The support is provided by the driver of the car, who notes how much lonelier car trips have become, and the other passengers, all of whom are focused on their smartphones and tablets.
Analyzes warrant.
The implied warrant is that screen-based technology makes us more isolated and disconnected from each other.
Identifies backing.
The backing is also implied and reinforced by the picture. It suggests that road trips are valuable opportunities for connection and conversation that many families are giving up. It also reinforces the common belief that interacting with screens is more appealing than interacting directly with people face-to-face.
Infers rebuttal.
No direct rebuttal or qualifier appears in this cartoon. I think, however, that this cartoon could be considered as a rebuttal to those who think that screen-based communication is always superior to face-to-face communication. As a rebuttal, this cartoon highlights the negative consequences of embracing screen-based communication.
3. Write the warrants. Decide whether to spell out the warrants in your paper or to leave them implicit so that the reading audience will have to infer them.
4. Decide on the backing. Assume that your classmates are your audience. They may be reading drafts of your paper. In your judgment, will some of them require backing for any of your warrants because they will not agree with them otherwise? If so, how can you back these warrants? Write out your ideas.
5. Plan rebuttal. Think about the positions others may hold on this issue. You identified some of these positions in your exploratory paper. Write out your strategies for weakening these arguments.
6. Decide whether to qualify the claim to make it more convincing to more people. Write one or more qualifiers that might work.

1 The course project is a strategic management plan for an organization of your choosing (Intel). Please read the Course Project - Introduction page in this module before attempting this assignment. Now it's time to select a company that you'd like to use for the course project. It's important that you choose a company that is easily researched. You're going to need to find information on their current business practices and makeup. That can be very hard to do with small local businesses, but easier with larger publicly traded companies. It's also important to choose a company that you're interested in and want to learn about. This will make the project more engaging.
For the first part of your assignment this week, write a paper that's at least a page in length and completes the following:
· Identify a company for which you wish to develop a strategic management plan. You may wish to conduct some preliminary research to help you understand a little more about the company you chose. Intel is the company we are using
· Provide a brief description of the company including what they do, what they're known for, and their reputation within the current business environment.
· Provide your reasons for selecting this company. Be thorough and specific with your explanation.
2 The next phase of your strategic management plan will require you to research your company's history and existing strategic goals. Before we can make major improvements to the business, we first have to understand where they came from and what they're currently trying to accomplish. Use reliable business sources, the company website, and any traditional appropriate sources to gather as much background information that you can. For the second part of your assignment this week, write a paper that's at least two pages in length and addresses the following:
· Detail the history of the business. Explain how they got their start but focus mostly on how their business has changed over the last 15 years. Provide a picture of how they adapt to change and any major obstacles that they've had to overcome.
· Include some information on the top executives at the company and the role that they've played in those last 15 years.
· Provide the company's existing mission statement and code of ethics. In what way do they articulate their ethical practices through policies and public outreach and why is this important?
· Identify two areas of concern ethically and explain those choices. Make sure to discuss why you feel that are areas of ethical concern. Think critically about where your chosen company has the potential for ethical dilemmas. For example, an accounting firm would be concerned with fraud.
· Rewrite your company's mission statement. The idea is to provide clarity and set the new strategic direction that you think the company should be moving towards. Include a paragraph explaining the changes that you've made and why.

The California test score Data SetThe California Standardized Test.docxmamanda2
The California test score Data Set
The California Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) dataset contains data on test performance, school characteristics and student demographic backgrounds. The data used here are from all 420 K-6 and K-8 districts in California with data available for 1998 and 1999. Test scores are the average of the reading and math scores on the Stanford 9 standardized test administered to 5th grade students. School characteristics (averaged across the district) include enrollment, number of teachers (measured as “full-time-equivalents”), number of computers per classroom, and expenditures per student. The student-teacher ratio used here is the number of full-time equivalent teachers in the district, divided by the number of students. Demographic variables for the students also are averaged across the district. The demographic variables include the percentage of students in the public assistance program CalWorks (formerly AFDC), the percentage of students that qualify for a reduced price lunch, and the percentage of students that are English Learners (that is, students for whom English is a second language). All of these data were obtained from the California Department of Education (www.cde.ca.gov).

Mission statement: At In-Healer we promote wellness, healing, and over all health quality improvement through our product. The In-Healer is a portable oxygen chamber, also known as a bariatric chamber. The physiology of our product is rather simple. An individual can enter our enclosed chamber and will be encased in pressurized pure oxygen. This oxygen at increased atmospheric pressure will deliver large volume volumes of Oxygen to the cardiopulmonary system, where the blood's plasma and hemoglobin is now enriched in oxygen. This therapy has been proven beneficial in many cases, especially those seen in athletes who are participating in contact sports, or any person who puts their body in physical stress. The enriched blood will promote tissue repair, increased brain functions and promotes lactic acid removal for a speedy recovery after a workout. This is something any physically active or health conscious person will want to possess.

In our society as we deal on a daily basis with threats and opportunities we often don’t consider the events that got us to where we are today. We just try to work ahead and make something that is new or better than what we perceive we have now. In doing so we may be repeating mistakes from the past and we may be overlooking some success that has already occurred. Itis important to know the history of the type of venture that we are engaged in so that we can use our time and resources efficiently. This can certainly be said of police/citizen relations.
For this week’s assignment consider how American policing has evolved from its earliest beginnings until now. Analyze the memorable events and remarkable people who influenced the development of our system and describe why changes were made and how effective they have been. Critically examine the early founding principles of policing, such as those suggested by Sir Robert Peel and apply those principles to what is actually happening today.

(Page 132) G. Prewriting: Using the Toulmin Model to Get Ideas for a Position Paper
You have used the Toulmin model in Exercises B through F to read and analyze other people’s argument. Now use it to identify the main parts of an argument you will write. You may use the model to help you plan any argument paper. Use the Toulmin model as a prewriting exercise to help you develop ideas for a position paper.
1. Write the claim. All of the rest of your paper will support this claim.
2. Write the support. Write two or three subclaims you will develop in the paper. To help you do this, write the word “because” after the claim, and list reasons that support it. Also jot down ideas for specific support for these subclaims, such as examples, facts, opinions, or visual images that come from your reading of the essays or from your own experience.

Toulmin Analysis of the “Road Trip” Cartoon
Identifies claim and support.
The reader has to infer the claim of this cartoon since it is not directly stated. The claim is that screens have replaced face-to-face conversation as the primary way people now interact with each other. The support is provided by the driver of the car, who notes how much lonelier car trips have become, and the other passengers, all of whom are focused on their smartphones and tablets.
Analyzes warrant.
The implied warrant is that screen-based technology makes us more isolated and disconnected from each other.
Identifies backing.
The backing is also implied and reinforced by the picture. It suggests that road trips are valuable opportunities for connection and conversation that many families are giving up. It also reinforces the common belief that interacting with screens is more appealing than interacting directly with people face-to-face.
Infers rebuttal.
No direct rebuttal or qualifier appears in this cartoon. I think, however, that this cartoon could be considered as a rebuttal to those who think that screen-based communication is always superior to face-to-face communication. As a rebuttal, this cartoon highlights the negative consequences of embracing screen-based communication.
3. Write the warrants. Decide whether to spell out the warrants in your paper or to leave them implicit so that the reading audience will have to infer them.
4. Decide on the backing. Assume that your classmates are your audience. They may be reading drafts of your paper. In your judgment, will some of them require backing for any of your warrants because they will not agree with them otherwise? If so, how can you back these warrants? Write out your ideas.
5. Plan rebuttal. Think about the positions others may hold on this issue. You identified some of these positions in your exploratory paper. Write out your strategies for weakening these arguments.
6. Decide whether to qualify the claim to make it more convincing to more people. Write one or more qualifiers that might work.

(Sample) Safety and Health Training Plan 1.0 Intro.docxraju957290
(Sample)
Safety and Health Training Plan
1.0 Introduction
Training is one of the most important components within our company’s safety management system. It gives
employees an opportunity to learn their jobs properly, bring new ideas into the workplace, reinforce existing ideas
and practices, and it helps to put our Safety and Health Program into action.
Everyone in our company will benefit from safety and health training through fewer workplace injuries and illnesses,
reduced stress, and higher morale. Productivity, profits, and competitiveness will increase as production costs per
unit, turnover, and workers compensation rates lower.
2.0 Management commitment.
We (or company name) will provide the necessary funds and scheduling time to ensure effective safety and health
training is provided. This commitment will include paid work time for training and training in the language that the
worker understands. Both management and employees will be involved in developing the program.
To most effectively carry out their safety responsibilities, all employees must understand (1) their role in the program,
(2) the hazards and potential hazards that need to be prevented or controlled, and (3) the ways to protect themselves
and others. We will achieve these goals by:
• educating everyone on the natural and system consequences of their actions;
• educating all managers, supervisors and employees on their safety management system responsibilities;
• educating all employees about the specific hazards and control measures in their workplace;
• training all employees on hazard identification, analysis, reporting and control procedures; and
• training all employees on safe work procedures and practices.
Our training program will focus on health and safety concerns that determine the best way to deal with a particular
hazard. When a hazard is identified, we will first try to remove it entirely. If that is not feasible, we will then train
workers to protect themselves, if necessary, against the remaining hazard. Once we have decided that a safety or
health problem can best be addressed by training (or by another method combined with training), we will follow up by
developing specific training goals based on those particular needs.
Employees. At a minimum, employees must know the general safety and health rules of the worksite, specific site
hazards and the safe work practices needed to help control exposure, and the individual's role in all types of
emergency situations. We will ensure all employees understand the hazards to which they may be exposed and how to
prevent harm to themselves and others from exposure to these hazards.
We will commit available resources to ensure employees receive safety and health training during the circumstances
below.
• Whenever a person is hired --general safety orientation including an overview of company safety rules, and
why those r.

With such social theories supporting the work of artificial intelligence, it is making sense that the same AI should not be demonized but rather be seen as a human achievement.
VI. Conclusion
All the sections and subsections are discussed in a brief, precise and clear way ranging from the definitions, the implications and how negative artificial intelligence should be depicted in this section.

How the Media Distort Reality
TV and movie apologists are forever telling us that we have no business criticizing them because they are only holding a mirror up to reality. Many people buy that explanation, but they shouldn’t.
It would be more accurate to say the media hold a magnifying glass to carefully selected realities—namely, the most outrageous and sensational events of the day, such as the tragic deaths of John F. Kennedy Jr. and Princess Diana, or the trials of celebrities such as O.J. Simpson, Kobe Bryant, and Michael Jackson.
Consider how this happens. The first platoon of media people report the latest sensational story as it unfolds, squeezing each new development for all the airtime or newsprint it will yield. Meanwhile, agents and attorneys are negotiating the sale of movie and TV rights to the story. The sleazier the story, the greater
the payoff
. After the movie is produced, every situation comedy, detective show, and western drama builds an episode around the successful theme.
In this way a single despicable, disgusting act—real or imagined—can generate months of sensational media fare.
In short, the media exploit our social problems for ratings, feed us a steady
diet
of debasing material,
celebrate
irresponsible behavior, and then have the audacity to blame parents and teachers for the social problems that result.

Virtual care and telehealth can expand access to healthcare by allowing patients to connect with providers remotely. This can benefit collaboration and care coordination by giving nurses new ways to communicate with doctors and monitor patients. However, virtual care also faces drawbacks like technological issues that could disrupt care, and concerns about developing the same human connections that in-person visits allow.

Current Events Journal Assignment for Units 3-4
In Unit 3, we will be focusing on change and reform brought about as a result of the rapid social and economic changes of industrialization and urbanization. While the U.S. looked great from an outside perspective, with its rich flaunting their wealth and industry booming, it was riddled with exploitation of the people and political corruption, thus earning the name the Gilded Age. This brought in a sense of moral obligation and led to a reform movement that swept across the nation, with organization developing locally and nationally. This period of reform is known as the Progressive Era.
It was a time to expose the underlining errors of the U.S. society and to make changes for the good of the people. The Progressive Era would address a variety of issues, including factory and living conditions, agriculture reform, child labor, women’s rights, political reform, conservation, and other social concerns. While not perfect in its initial steps of change, this period will pave the way for continued social justice in our nation’s history.
Objectives:
Discuss the impact of political corruption on the U.S. government and evaluate the effectiveness of political reform.
Identify the leading reformers of the Progressive Era and evaluate the effectiveness of the reform movements.
Describe the problems facing farmers in the late 19th century and evaluate the effectiveness of the reform movement by the Populists and other farmers’ organizations and alliances.
Compare the Progressivism domestic and foreign policies of Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, and William Howard Taft.
Unit 4 Imperialism and WWI
In Unit 4, we will focus on the role of the United States in World affairs. In the late 19th century, the United States not only sought to redefine itself as American, but also to establish its place in the global political arena. Foreign policies paralleled those of many European nations, with a focus on imperialism and preserving foreign interests and markets, specifically in the Western hemisphere. It will be the United States positioning in the Spanish-American war that marks the beginning of its imperial power, with future expansions and political involvement in Latin America and the Pacific Ocean.
At the turn of the century, the United States will feel the long-term effect of its imperialistic decisions. Being recognized as a World leader, involvement in international affairs now spanned beyond the Western Hemispher.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Scenario and Your Task
The company where you work [this is a FICTIONAL company
you will create] has become successful. Started by a motivated
entrepreneur, the company now has 210 employees and is still
4. growing.
The owner wants to become more socially responsible and
knows that other companies have engaged in philanthropic
programs. The owner wants you to do research, analyze
possibilities, and report back in a concise and persuasive email
that strongly RECOMMENDS ONE (1) philanthropic
organization/charity for the company to support — and clearly
explains why. If you and your teammate do a good job with this,
it could lead to promotions for both of you.
Your team’s task is to address the following:
· The owner wants the recommended charity/philanthropy to be
a strong and powerful match for the mission and work of the
company. He/she doesn’t want a generic charity; he/she wants a
charity that resonates with the goals and aims of the company
he/she has built.
· The owner wants the recommended charity/philanthropy to
provide opportunities for all employees to engage with the work
of the charity, but he/she wants something more detailed than
just volunteering time or giving money. How precisely will they
all volunteer? What precisely will they do?
· The owner wants to know about the financial health of the
charity — he/she wants to know in plain English whether this
charity is worthy of his/her money and why precisely.
· The owner wants to know the business benefits the company
will receive from working with this philanthropy.
· The owner wants a realistic budget of how much this will cost
(e.g. if the business holds an event, he/she wants a realistic
breakdown of costs).
Writing Prompt
Write an internal proposal to your boss that outlines your
philanthropic proposal. Use brevity tools and formatting to
make this proposal easy to read.
You will also turn in a copy of the description of your company
— what it does, where it is located, what are its
aims/goals/mission. This is a fictional company. Provide enough
5. details/data/specifics so I can see how you tied your company’s
work, mission, and culture to your choice of philanthropy.
Important Tips –
· Contextualize and interpret all data to support your decision.
Don’t just use data — EXPLAIN and INTERPRET it in light of
your persuasive argument.
· Present creative, appealing yet plausible action plans. These
should excite the owner and get him/her ready to implement
your ideas. Don’t just recommend donating cash. Recommend
longer term or ongoing plans that your company can do for the
charity.
· Present actionable plans — think logically and through the
logistics of how this philanthropic relationship will work. This
should be workable and realistic.
· Put your recommendation first, as your boss has asked for this
information.
· Follow with your persuasive argument as to why this is the
best option for the company and its employees.
Formatting Requirements
1. Maximum word count: 1000 words.
2. Stay professional. This may be an internal proposal, but it is
as professional as any other office document.
3. Use brevity tools (e.g., section headers, bullets, lists).
4. Use a header on the first page with the one-paragraph
description of your company (the proposal will appear starting
on the next page). Your header should be RIGHT JUSTIFIED
and SINGLE SPACED – see example bolded below:
Important Tips – Corporate Philanthropy
1. Take time to review philanthropic organizations at
www.charitynavigator.org, a site which evaluates the financial
health of the nation’s largest charities.
6. 2. Take time to understand how corporate giving and
volunteerism work. Some ideas from
www.corporatephilanthropy.org:
· Think about the strategies your company would follow to build
a strong philanthropic arm.
· Ask interesting, intellectual, and strategic questions, such as
—
· “Does our giving strategy suit our company today (e.g. values,
assets, culture)?”
· “What type of giving would engage and encourage our
employees to join with us?”
· “Could our company do more in terms of both social and
business impact?”
· “What activities could we sponsor?”
· “What would supporting this charity say about us to our
customers, clients, and the community?”
3. Understand the top benefits for companies when they engage
in “strategic philanthropy”:
1. Companies can declare up to 10 percent of pretax profits as
tax-deductible contributions
1. Employees who get involved and volunteer develop a
stronger sense of loyalty to the employer; this can improve
productivity, enhance recruitment, and reduce employee
turnover
1. Customers are often more loyal to socially responsible
companies
1. By choosing causes to support that link with its core business
(such as Home Depot and Habitat for Humanity), a company can
reinforce its mission and customer relations
1. Strategic philanthropy generally improves a company’s
overall reputation and eases relations with the government and
the community
4. Read the “Philanthropic Readings” documents posted on
Blackboard.

Many people experience hardship and need help. This help is
provided by a network of agencies and organi-
zations, both public and private. Staffed by
human service workers, this network, and
the kinds of help it offers, is as varied as the
clients it serves. “Human services tend to be
as broad as the needs and problems of the cli-
ent base,” says Robert Olding, president of the
National Organization for Human Services in
8. Woodstock, Georgia.
Human service workers help clients
become more self-sufficient. They may do this
by helping them learn new skills or by recom-
mending resources that allow them to care
for themselves or work to overcome setbacks.
These workers also help clients who are
unable to care for themselves, such as children
and the elderly, by coordinating the provision
of their basic needs.
The first section of this article explains
the duties of human service workers and the
types of assistance they provide. The next
several sections detail the populations served
by, and the occupations commonly found in,
human services. Another section describes
some benefits and drawbacks to the work, and
the section that follows discusses the educa-
tion and skills needed to enter human service
occupations. The final section lists sources of
additional information.
What human service
workers do
Human service workers provide a variety of
services aimed at improving clients’ lives. The
type of assistance they offer varies by client
group, the type of organization that employs
these workers, and their role in the organiza-
tion. (See the box on page 25 for more infor-
mation about different types of human service
organizations.)
9. Although duties vary by job, all human
service workers perform many of the same
basic tasks. They evaluate a client’s needs,
create a treatment plan, and put the plan into
action. Throughout the process, they provide
clients with emotional support.
Evaluate and plan
Working closely with the client, human
service workers identify problems and cre-
ate a plan for services to help the client solve
these problems. This process—which includes
evaluating the client’s support system, envi-
ronment, and values—is tailored to each
individual’s needs. “Steps differ, based on
where the client is at that point in time,” says
Deborah Jackson, a family self-sufficiency
coordinator for a housing commission in the
Annapolis, Maryland, area.
Human service workers can’t force help
on someone who doesn’t want it, and they
can’t take over a client’s life. Instead, they try
to help every client make good decisions, find
resources to overcome problems, and inspire
the client to make improvements. “I know
they can succeed,” Jackson says of her clients,
“but I can’t succeed for them.”
Put the plan into action
After evaluating the client’s situation and cre-
ating a plan, human service workers put the
10. 24 Occupational Outlook Quarterly • Fall 2011
plan into effect. This may include providing
direct assistance or helping clients in coordi-
nating services, or both.
Practical assistance helps clients accom-
plish daily living activities: eating, bathing,
dressing, and so forth. Workers most often
provide this assistance in institutions, such as
hospitals, shelters, and residential care facili-
ties for people who are elderly or disabled.
Practical assistance might also include helping
clients with recreational activities, from arts
and crafts to games.
In addition, human service workers coor-
dinate services that are provided by their own
or other organizations, including government,
for-profit, and nonprofit agencies. They help
clients by researching types of, and eligibil-
ity requirements for, assistance. For example,
human service workers might help a client
who lives in unsafe housing locate and qualify
for low-income apartments in the client’s
community. Another way that human service
workers help coordinate services is to assist
clients with completing necessary paperwork.
After clients begin receiving assistance,
human service workers monitor the cli-
ents’ status to ensure that services are being
provided and are appropriate. Jackson, for
example, sees her clients about once a week so
she can track their progress.
11. Provide emotional support
Because their clients often face many diffi-
cult problems simultaneously, human service
workers routinely provide emotional support
along with other forms of help. These work-
ers must foster a good working relationship to
ensure that a client feels comfortable discuss-
ing problems candidly and asking for help.
The kind of emotional care human ser-
vice workers provide ranges from empathy
to celebration, depending on what a client is
experiencing. “Clients have the enthusiasm to
improve their lives,” says Jackson. “It’s often a

lack of confidence that prevents them. They’ve
never had someone encourage them.”
However, human service workers are
trained to recognize when emotional support
and encouragement are not enough. In those
cases, human service workers may direct a
client toward additional support services to
address more serious issues, such as domestic
violence.
12. Populations served by
human service workers
Human service workers assist a diverse popu-
lation of clients, who are of every age and
have a broad range of issues. “The client base
of human services runs the gamut,” says the
National Organization of Human Services’
Olding. Neil Headman, assistant professor of
human services at the University of Illinois
at Springfield, agrees. “It doesn’t matter who
your client is,” he says. “Everyone needs help.”
The following overview of types of clients
is not exhaustive. Furthermore, clients deal-
ing with more than one problem may fall into
more than one group; for example, someone
with a mental illness may also have a problem
with substance abuse.
Children and families. Human service
workers ensure that children live in safe
homes and have their basic needs met. Guid-
ing parents in caring for their children may
include assisting with applications for food
stamps or low-income housing and locating
reliable childcare.
Human service agencies are often managed
by state or local governments. There is also a
large number of nonprofit—and some for-
profit—human service organizations. Some
organizations focus on working with a par-
ticular population or alleviating a specific type
13. of problem. Others work with a wide range of
populations and issues.
Most of these organizations are part of the
social assistance industry. The organization
types described below differ somewhat from
the formal classifications that BLS uses.
Employment agencies provide clients
with the assistance necessary to find and keep
jobs. Employment agencies include job place-
ment agencies and vocational rehabilitation
services for people with disabilities.
Food and nutrition agencies help clients
get healthy meals or learn the skills neces-
sary to prepare nutritious meals themselves.
Food delivery programs and food banks are
examples.
Housing and shelter organizations help
clients find appropriate temporary or perma-
nent housing. Organizations include senior
housing facilities, homeless shelters, and
transitional housing.
Legal and victims assistance organiza-
tions assist people who have been victims
of crime. These organizations also provide
information to educate the public about crime
prevention, and they help rehabilitate people
who have been convicted of crimes. Examples
include abuse prevention programs, juvenile
justice organizations, and prisoner rehabilita-
tion programs.
14. Multipurpose human service organi-
zations provide multiple services that help
clients improve their situation. Among these
organizations are senior citizen centers, foster
care and adoption agencies, and women’s
shelters.
Public safety and disaster relief organi-
zations help people prepare for and recover
from disasters. Examples include disaster
relief and search-and-rescue organizations.
Youth development organizations
provide recreational and social programs for
children and teenagers. Among these are Big
Brothers/Big Sisters, Boys & Girls Clubs, and
afterschool programs.
Types of human service organizations
26 Occupational Outlook Quarterly • Fall 2011
In some cases, such as those involv-
ing physical abuse or domestic violence,
human service workers might recommend
that children be removed from their parents’
custody and be placed in foster care or group
homes. This removal may be temporary
or permanent, but the goal is to work with
parents toward improving the situation so that
children can return home. “The best place to
serve kids is in their home and with a family,”
says Joan Wallace-Benjamin, who runs a child
welfare agency in the Boston, Massachusetts,
15. area. If a return home isn’t possible, human
service workers try to find permanent homes
and adoptive parents for the children.
The elderly. Human service workers who
assist older clients help them to live indepen-
dently in their own homes whenever possible.
This might mean coordinating the delivery of
prepared meals or the placement of personal
care aides to help with daily living activities.
For older clients who are unable to live
alone, human service workers help with their
placement in nursing homes or other residen-
tial care facilities. For clients nearing the end
of their lives, human service workers may
coordinate the provision of hospice care. (For
information on nursing careers in nursing
homes and other facilities, see “Nursing jobs
in nursing homes,” in the spring 2011 issue of
the Quarterly, available online at www.bls.
gov/ooq/2011/spring/art03.pdf.)
The homeless. Human service workers
help people who are homeless to meet basic
needs. Human service workers may refer cli-
ents to a variety of providers, such as tempo-
rary or permanent housing facilities, organi-
zations that serve meals, and job centers that
can assist the clients in learning new skills
or finding jobs. Some clients might need help
finding treatment to address an underlying
cause of homelessness.
Immigrants. Immigrants often need help
16. adjusting to life in a new country. Human ser-
vice workers help them find housing, jobs, and
other resources, such as programs for learn-
ing English. In some cases, human service
workers also refer clients to legal aid services
to assist immigrants with paperwork and other
administrative issues.
People with addictions. Human service
workers help people who are struggling with
many types of addiction, such as to alcohol
or gambling. They evaluate clients’ needs and
then direct clients to rehabilitation facilities,
including both inpatient and outpatient treat-
ment centers, that can best meet those needs.
They also refer clients to groups or programs
to help clients get support outside of treat-
ment. Some human service workers might
work with families of addicts, helping family
members understand the nature of addiction
and referring them to support programs for
families.
People with criminal records. People
who have been imprisoned face challenges
re-entering society, such as overcoming

the stigma of their criminal record. Human
service workers help these clients integrate
17. back into society by matching them with job
training or placement programs, helping them
find housing, and directing them to support
programs so they avoid reoffending.
People with disabilities. In working with
people who have disabilities, human service
workers often focus on helping clients live
independently. Types of assistance include
finding rehabilitation services to help clients
adapt to the disability, working with employ-
ers on adjusting job details so that positions
may be filled by clients with disabilities, and
referring clients to personal care services that
can help with daily living activities.
For people with disabilities who cannot
live independently, human service workers
help locate suitable residential care facilities.
People with mental illnesses. Human ser-
vice workers direct clients who are mentally
ill to appropriate resources, such as self-help
and support groups. In addition, they help
clients with severe mental illness to become
self-sufficient and receive proper care. Human
service workers refer these clients to providers
of personal care services, group housing, or
residential care facilities.
Veterans. For some veterans, adjusting
to civilian life after military service can be
difficult. Human service workers assist these
veterans in a variety of ways: finding housing,
adapting skills gained in the military to civil-
ian jobs, and navigating through the extensive
18. network of veteran services available.
Combat veterans often face additional
challenges, such as adapting to physical or
mental disability. Human service workers
direct veterans with disabilities to services
that provide appropriate assistance.
Common jobs for
human service workers
Human service agencies are organized dif-
ferently, but some jobs are common to many
of them. Not all of these positions are in
all agencies; job tasks in one position may
overlap with those in another, and some agen-
cies may use different titles. Furthermore,
job titles include occupations that are found
outside of human services, and job tasks may
differ in other settings.
Jobs in human services are separated
into two types: Those in which workers deal
directly with clients and those in which work-
ers provide administrative support for an orga-
nization that provides services. Both types are
essential for human service organizations to
run effectively.
Direct work with clients
Human service workers who deal directly
with clients are responsible for providing the
services that an organization offers. Job titles
for people who work directly with clients
include the following:
19. Aiding clients with
disabilities often centers
around helping them to
live independently.
28 Occupational Outlook Quarterly • Fall 2011
Case workers and case managers. Case
workers and case managers assess clients’
needs and work with them to develop a treat-
ment plan. These workers, who are sometimes
called social and human service assistants,
help clients in choosing among suitable
resources and then follow up to ensure that the
services provided are appropriate.
Counselors. These workers provide indi-
vidual and group counseling to help clients
with marital difficulties or other problems
or in making decisions, such as about career
options. Counselors may diagnose and treat
mental and emotional disorders. Some spe-
cialize in working with specific populations,
such as children and families or veterans.
Psychologists. Psychologists diagnose
and treat emotional and mental disorders.
They provide therapy to individuals, groups,
and families. They may design, or assist other
human service workers in developing, indi-
vidual treatment plans for clients.
Social workers. Social workers help
20. clients cope with or solve everyday problems,
such as difficulty getting organized. After
talking with clients, the social worker may
provide strategies to help them modify their
behaviors or environments. A social worker
also acts as an advocate for clients and refers
them to other resources.
Administrative workers
Administrative workers provide the manage-
ment and support necessary for a human
service organization to function. Job titles
for administrative workers in human services
include the following:
Development directors. These workers
create their organization’s fundraising strategy
and supervise fundraising activities. They
work with the executive director and program
directors to determine funding needs and then
meet with potential donors to explain these
needs and how donations are used to serve
the community. Development directors often
supervise other staff members, such as grant
writers.
Counselors and
psychologists are
among the human
service workers who
deal directly with clients.
21. Fall 2011 • Occupational Outlook Quarterly 29
Executive directors. Executive direc-
tors oversee the operation of human service
organizations. They perform high-level
administrative tasks that range from budget-
ing to human resources management. Much of
their time is spent meeting with policymakers,
community leaders, and others interested in
their organization and its programs. Executive
directors also are responsible for setting the
organization’s goals and for ensuring that staff
members work toward those goals.
Grant writers. Grant writers research
sources of funding for which their organiza-
tions are eligible. They prepare and main-
tain records regarding applications, funding
received, and how funds are spent.
Program directors. These workers design
and implement human service programs. They
assess the needs of the population that their
organization serves and create programs to
meet those needs. Program directors supervise
staff members and ensure that the program
meets state and federal criteria for service pro-
viders. These workers also may be responsible
for collecting data that are used to evaluate
the effectiveness of their programs.
Ups and downs of
human service work
22. Human service work is both rewarding and
challenging. Like most careers, however, the
suitability of workers for these jobs varies by
individual. “It’s wonderful work,” says Carol
Goertzel, president and chief executive officer
of human service agencies in Holmes, Penn-
sylvania, “but it’s not for everybody.”
Human service workers help clients
improve their lives, and it’s satisfying to see
results over time. These results are often dra-
matic and show how much people can accom-
plish when they get professional help. “Anyone
who expects big results within short periods
of time is asking a lot from people who’ve had
no support,” Goertzel says. “We see people
make incredible changes.”
Most human service workers build
relationships with their clients out of concern
and a desire to help, aware that clients don’t
always express their gratitude. “You can’t
expect people to say, ‘Thank you so much.
You helped me today,’” Goertzel says.
As the U.S. population grows, so will the
demand for the kinds of help human service
agencies provide. However, financial resources
available to these organizations do not grow
as quickly as the demand for services, increas-
ing competition among agencies seeking
funds from the same donors. Human service
workers are often asked to provide additional
services without having access to additional
resources. Some workers find the resulting
23. stress difficult to manage.
Much of a human service organization’s
budget is based on highly unpredictable chari-
table donations. Because wages are usually
tied to this variable budget, workers in human
service jobs tend to earn less than those in
occupations requiring similar levels of educa-
tion.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
(BLS) does not collect employment and wage
data specifically on human service workers.
Grant writers prepare
and maintain records
regarding grant
applications, any
funding received, and
how funds are spent.
30 Occupational Outlook Quarterly • Fall 2011
However, BLS does collect data on occupa-
tions—including several types of counselors,
psychologists, and social workers—in which
workers provide human services in the social
assistance industry. (See table below.)
Few human service workers pursue these
careers solely for the income, though. Workers
cite a passion for the field, noting that human
service jobs provide opportunities to help
people in need and to find solutions to com-
24. munity problems.
Getting into
human services
People are drawn to human services for differ-
ent reasons. Backgrounds vary, but personal
experience is sometimes a motivator. Jackson,
for example, says that surviving domestic
violence stirred her desire to help others. “My
philosophy is that I went through what I went
through for a reason,” she says. “My role is to
help people.”
Jobs in human services are based on the
client population served. Workers who enter
these occupations often have similar skills,
although their education levels may vary.
Skills
“Human service workers are trained with
a core set of skills that they can apply any-
where,” says the University of Illinois’ Head-
man. Chief among these are interpersonal and
communication skills, because most workers
deal directly with a variety of people. Build-
ing relationships with clients involves listen-
ing to a client’s problems, needs, and concerns
and communicating solutions, treatments, or
services for them. In addition, human service
workers must work well on teams because

they often collaborate with others in their
field.
Human service workers also need analyti-
cal skills to help clients develop strategies to
solve problems. The ability to think creatively
helps workers determine ways to get around
hurdles that interfere with clients’ efforts to
succeed.
In addition, human service workers
should be compassionate and patient. Most of
their clients are in stressful situations, so it is
important for these workers to be empathetic
and sensitive to their clients’ emotional needs.
Education
Educational requirements in human service
organizations vary with the type of work per-
formed. However, many human service work-
ers have some kind of postsecondary degree.
The education level usually ranges from
an associate’s degree to a master’s degree,
depending on workers’ titles.
At all education levels, degrees are
27. offered in human services, counseling, social
work, and psychology. Most programs require
some fieldwork, such as an internship, so that
students get practical experience working with
clients. The level of education generally dic-
tates the type of work someone may perform
and the amount of responsibility he or she
may be given.
Associate’s degree. Human service work-
ers with an associate’s degree often perform
entry-level tasks. They spend most of their
time interviewing new clients and managing
details of cases. They help connect clients
with appropriate resources and complete any
required paperwork.
Bachelor’s degree. Those who have a
bachelor’s degree spend much of their time
managing client cases, just as workers with an
associate’s degree do. They also provide some
clinical support.
Master’s degree. Workers with a master’s
degree focus primarily on clinical work, pro-
viding counseling to clients. In some states or
settings, these workers may need to be super-
vised by a licensed professional—such as a
psychologist, social worker, or counselor—or
they may be required to hold a license them-
selves.
Human service
workers should be
empathetic and able to
28. communicate well.

For more information
Your local library may have books and peri-
odicals about human service work. To learn
more about specific occupations, consider vis-
iting human service organizations to ask about
opportunities for gaining experience, such as
internships, job shadowing, and informational
interviewing.
Another source of information about
hundreds of occupations is the Occupational
Outlook Handbook. The Handbook provides
detailed information about occupations with
tasks that are similar to those of human
service workers. In addition to more detailed
information about counselors, social work-
ers, and psychologists—all of which were
described briefly in this article—related
Handbook occupations include social and
community service managers, health educa-
tors, and social and human service assistants.
The Handbook is available in many public
