However, the strategy developed may not survive in its original form upon execution. Accordingly, these strategies have to be adjusted to meet the current challenges.

...CHAPTER 3 SELECTING AND USING ASSESSMENTS Introduction This chapter will address three issues: (a) the institutional assessment needs of workforce development organizations, (b) the assessment needs of individual youth to help make informed choices about their careers, and (c) the practical needs of practitioners for information about how to select and use different assessment tools. At the end of this chapter, Exhibit 3.1 contains information that can be used to help with the selection and use of assessments, including a directory of commonly used published tests. Meeting Institutional Assessment Needs Agencies and organizations in the workforce system use assessments to meet institutional needs in two ways-to determine a youth's eligibility for services and to document achievement of program goals by assessing the progress of program participants. The number of participants served and achievement of program goals can impact the amount of funding an organization receives. Funding for the youth programs considered in this guide may come from the Department of Education, the Department of Labor, other federal agencies, states, local governmental agencies, or a combination of these. Table 1.2 in Chapter 1 summarizes the eligibility and assessment requirements of IDEA, WIA Title I, and the Rehabilitation Act. More specific information on assessments mandated or permitted by several federal funding sources may be found in Appendix A. (Mandated assessments are...

...standard of living of any state. However, Connecticut had been hit especially hard by the recession of the early 1990s, the worst since the 1930s. During the recession, Connecticut lost one out of every 10 jobs.3 Although the recession ended in 1992, the recovery in the early 1990s was anything but robust. High unemployment rates persisted in some urban areas, and the state’s poverty rate almost doubled, from a 1987–1989 average of 4.5% to 8.4% for the 1997–1999 period.4 Worried leaders initiated the state’s first serious effort to foster economic development in living memory. After several years of little progress, Governor John Rowland (elected in 1994) initiated a cluster-based economic development strategy in late 1995. By 1999, state government had been reorganized, new institutions created, and unprecedented public-private collaboration around competitiveness was taking place. In 2000, Governor Rowland was evaluating the state’s progress thus far and considering how to carry the strategy forward. Connecticut Profile Do No Connecticut, one of the 13 original U.S. colonies, adopted in 1639 the first constitution establishing representative government. Connecticut was the fifth state to approve the U.S. Constitution in 1788 after the state’s delegates helped to engineer the "Connecticut Compromise" providing for equal state representation in the Senate and representation according to population in the House of Representatives. Connecticut earned the nickname “The Constitution...

...Probability And Non Probability Sampling Cultural Studies Essay A probability sampling method is any method of sampling that utilizes some form of random selection. In order to have a random selection method, you must set up some process or procedure that assures that the different units in your population have equal probabilities of being chosen. Humans have long practiced various forms of random selection, such as picking a name out of a hat, or choosing the short straw. These days, we tend to use computers as the mechanism for generating random numbers as the basis for random selection. Probability sampling methods are those in which every item in the universe has a known chance, or probability of being chosen for sample. This implies that the selection of the sample items is independent of the person making the study that is the sampling operation is controlled so objectively that the items will be chosen strictly at random. Types of probability sampling Simple Random Sampling: The simplest form of random sampling is called simple random sampling. Neither of these mechanical procedures is very feasible and, with the development of inexpensive computers there is a much easier way. Simple random sampling is simple to accomplish and is easy to explain to others. Because simple random sampling is a fair way to select a sample, it is reasonable to generalize the results from the sample back to the population. Simple random sampling is not the most statistically efficient method...

...HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT (HRM) IN THE GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE: THEORY AND PRACTICE. BY UKERTOR GABRIEL MOTI (P.hD.) Department of Public Administration UNIVERSITY OF ABUJA INTRODUCTION Human resource management (HRM) is universal in terms of strategies, policies and processes. The term has gradually replaced personnel management. Managing and developing human resources in the international (global) setting is increasingly recognized as a central challenge, particularly to multinational enterprises (MNEs). Human resource management is both academic theory and a business practice that addresses the theoretical and practice techniques of managing a workforce. While the theoretical aspects of the discipline may also be universal, the same cannot be said of its practice. The paper defines human resource management, the theoretical basis of the discipline, business practice and global or international human resource management. Thereafter, the paper concentrates on global perspective or issues in international human resource management practice. HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT Human resource management is the strategic and coherent approach to the management of an organization’s most valued assets – the people working there who individually and collectively contribute to the achievement of the objectives of the business. The terms “human resource management” (HRM) and “human resources” (HR) have largely replaced the term “personnel management”...
