EDUC 766- Instructional Strategies and Assessment Methods

Problem Identification
Career Innovations was developed to offer companies recruitment and placement solutions. We also offer our clients creative
marketing tools such as, resume and cover letter development. We are now implementing online training to increase job seekers
marketability in todays competitive workforce.
Based on the goals, the opportunity of training includes the following:

Improve the job seekers marketability

Improve their visibility to decision makers
Improve communication/interview/networking skills

Delivery Options
Blended (Online & Face-to-Face)
Providing an online option allows flexibility but incorporating a face to face component gives and opportunity for clarity on anything
that may have misinterpreted in the online component. The face to face component will allow the learner to ask questions on material
that may be perceived as a challenge to digest. This is also an opportunity for the facilitator to engage the learner with assigned tasks
to reinforce and/or implement the strategies in real-time.
