conservation and education. It also donates funds to support
hospitals, schools and research centers. It has partnered with
other national organizations in order to provide scholarship for
students who cannot afford to pay for college education.
Experience in providing training and
development activities
This organization has widely employed external training as a
means of training and developing the employees need. In regard
to external training, this organization tailors its diversified
education schemes for the employees at different levels. For
example, New Comer Education is one of the organizations that
partner with our organization to introduce the Company in
respect of its fundamental policy to newcomers. It also provides
business related development and training to newcomers to
integrate the new employees into the Company. The company is
also offering financial support for the workers who wish to

3. complete external training and education.
The task(s) for which the training is being developed
The organization requires innovative employees who also are
multi-skilled. Therefore, the training is designed to broaden
their knowledge in terms innovation in order to optimize the
flexibility of the use of Lean manufacturing.
The significant elements or steps for performing the task and
examine the importance the work to the organization’s overall
mission
The process of training the employees on how to develop their
innovation skills using five gates is shown in the diagram
bellow
Stage 0 – Discovery of ideas: Pre-work designed in order to
discover and generate new ideas.
Stage 1 – Scoping: investigation the scope of the project.
Stage 2 – Build the idea: It involves primary research
Step 3 – Development: Provide the detailed design for
developing a new product.
Stage 4 – Testing/Validation: Verify the proposed new product.
Stage 5 – Launch: Commercialization through marketing and
selling.
The Corporation is focused on high value-added products that
can only be achieved through innovation hence the need for
training the employees on the process of change (The Process of
innovation in education, 2013).
The five (5) characteristics of the intended audience for the
training
The training program is aimed at employees aging 40 years and
bellow. Each and every department is required to produce five
individuals for the training of which three are female while two
are male employees. In order to foster learning process, the
learner should be at least a graduate, with a university degree.
The learners are expected to use English throughout the training
process. The audience is academically and professionally
trained in automotive engineering. They are experienced in

4. reading, evaluating, analyzing, as well as, applying information
from various scientific publications (Merriam & Caffarella,
2009).
Evaluation of the intended audience’s level of familiarity with
technology overall
The audience is academically and professionally trained, and,
therefore, are well conversant with technology. They have also
had some experience while working in this organization, and
since the organization relies on innovation, the audience are
familiar with advanced technology in automotive
manufacturing.
Assessment of the degree to which the members of the intended
audience are self-directed in their learning overall
Learners consider training in innovation as a process of
developing their knowledge. They want to apply the knowledge
and skill in improving their innovation (Merriam & Caffarella,
2009).
Suggestion of the manner in which their self-directedness may
affect the likelihood that they would successfully complete the
training
Self-directedness is influenced how readiness the learners to
Learn. Most people become ready train on something if they
experience a need and the importance of such training.
The theoretical basis for the planned training
The selected theoretical basis for the planned training is
andragogy. The model is the best model for training adult
because the trained person will move from dependency to
increasing self-directedness after undergoing the training
process. Andragogy is self-directed and, therefore, allows the
learners to take control of learning. It also permits the
implementation of a variety of educational situations (Indiana
University Teaching Handbook, 2014).
The two (2) strategies to incorporate the essential aspect of
andragogy model into the design and delivery of the planned
training
The first approach is Project Based Learning in which the

5. learners work in groups in order to solve challenging problems.
The second strategy is by providing instructions that should be
task-oriented instead of memorization. Learning should be
made in the context of common tasks to be performed by the
learners (Brookfield, 2006).

6. Read the case study below about organizational social media
plans:
An organization's social media policies should be formalized for
several reasons: to present the company's brand consistently; to
empower employees to become involved in the plan; and to
reaffirm the organization's stance, opinion, and views on
participation.
Any social media policy should do the following:Explain why
social media is important to the firm and clarify the social
media's goals.Give details about how to handle common
situations such as negative complaints or scandals.Be specific
about which sites are being used and for what reason.Create at-
home social media use guidelines. Because social networkers
are never off the clock, employees must know that reasonable
office rules apply when doing business at home, too.
Discussion questions (your answers are to be included in your
slide presentation): If you use social networking now, how can
you translate your knowledge into a talking point during an
interview? Why would it be important for an organization to
provide its employees with specific responses for situations that
arise with social networking? How does a unified social
networking policy empower an employee?
(Case information adapted from Dr. Guffy’s case studies)
Create a PowerPoint presentation consisting of 6 slides—Intro,
3 content (body), and conclusion—on a social networking
policy for your job/organization. It might be a short training
presentation, a sales presentation, a presentation trying to
convince management of your proposal, etc. Answer the three
discussion questions in the content (body) of the slide
presentation. Put the exact text of your talk in the "Notes"
section. Once you have created your presentation write a short
paper describing what principles from the background material
you used. You will be graded on how thoroughly you apply the
ideas in the readings for this module and this module’s case
study.
Submit your assignments by the module's due date.SLP

Helping Restaurants Fight Obesity
As consumers become increasingly concerned about obesity and
health risks associated with nutrition, many seek more
information about restaurant foods. American families are
estimated to spend as much as half of their food dollars at
restaurants and to consume about one third of their calories
outside the home.
One U.S. senator is pushing a bill to require chain restaurants to
list nutritional information for all menu items. Although this
law has not been passed, your city would like to encourage
restaurants to offer more nutritious menu choices.
Assume that you work for Partners for a Healthier Community
(PHC), which is part of the City Health and Human Services
Department. PHC has been working on a program called
Healthy Dining. Its goal is to offer food establishments the
opportunity to be recognized as Healthy Dining restaurants. In
order to be listed, owners must meet certain criteria.
A PHC team devoted to the Healthy Dining program discussed a
number of requirements. The team thought that restaurants
ought to offer at least two choices of fruits or vegetables. They
wanted choices other than potato dishes. The team was much
opposed to french fries. What could be substituted for them?
Perhaps salads? In regard to the menu, the team thought that
Healthy Dining restaurants should have some low-fat and low-
calorie menu items, and when they are offered, customers

8. should know what they are. However, no minimum on the
number of such items would be required. The team also thought
that Healthy Dining restaurants should try to provide at least
some dishes in smaller portion sizes or perhaps half portions.
Milk was discussed, and team members suggested that
restaurants move away from offering whole milk. Team
members preferred 1 percent or nonfat milk when milk was
offered as a beverage.
The team gave you the task of giving a PowerPoint presentation
to restaurant owners who inquired about the Health Dining
rating.
(Adapted from Dr. Guffy case studies)Case Assignment
Create a PowerPoint presentation with audio to be presented to
owners who want to know how to earn the Healthy Dining
rating for their restaurants. You can add audio to your
presentation by using the "Record Narration" option under the
Slide Show tab in PowerPoint. You will need a microphone.
Address the presentation as a response to Mr. Adrian
Hammersmith and guests, Adrian's Steak House, 974 South
Cobb Drive, Marietta, GA 30060. Explain in your presentation
that information about the Healthy Dining program can be found
at http://www.healthydiningfinder.com. This page is primarily
for diners. A link at the bottom of the page, labeled “Nutrition
Services,” takes dietitians and restaurateurs to information
about program certification and membership.
Note: If you have trouble with adding voice then put the exact
text of your talk in the "Notes" section.
