'met expectations', we investigate the personal and social impact, beyond job placement, of jobtraining and skills-building programs provided by a Canadian social enterprise from the perspective
of the clients. Utilizing data from a pre-test/post-test quasi-experiment, we assess the differences,
between program participants as compared to a control group of nonparticipants, on several
measures. Findings illuminate the gap between expectations and actual experiences, and point to the
importance of integrating the clients' perspective. Such measures enable leaders of social
enterprises to account for the often neglected intangibles of their social missions.

value their learning experience in architectural offices and how students understand and integrate
what they have learned through two distinct elements of their training: in university and in offices.
The architectural offices that students worked with vary in terms of workforce size and projects
undertaken. The students' training experience is not unified. The processes of engaging with
concrete situations in real projects may permit students to follow opportunities that most inspire
them and to develop their differing expertise, but their development in offices can also be restricted
by the vicissitudes of market economics.
This study has demonstrated that architectural students' learning and development in architectural
offices continued through 'learning by doing' and used drawings as primary design and
communicative media. Working in offices gave weight to both explicit and tacit knowledge and used
subjective judgments. A further understanding was also achieved about what architects are and what
they do in practice. The realities of their architectural practice experience discouraged some Part I
students from progressing into the next stage of architectural education, Part II, but for others it
demonstrated that a career in architecture was 'achievable'.
This study argues that creative design, practical and technical abilities are not separate skill-sets that
are developed in the university and in architectural offices respectively. They are linked and united in
the learning process required to become a professional architect. The study also suggests that
education in the university should do more to prepare students for their training in practice.

The Empirical Study on the Evaluation of Training Programs - In the
case of HR Professionals for Tourism and High-Tech Industry in Taiwan
Author: Tsen, Shu-Hsiao
ProQuest document link
Abstract:
The finding of this study demonstrates the learning motivations are differing with the HR
professional's demographic background (4 cluster groups). There is a significant difference on the
"training needs" between those four clustered groups. And the result of this research also showed the
coincidence with the theory of the Kirkpatrick's evaluation model, that there is a clear co-relation
between every training outcome. The suggestion of this study will enhance the HR professionals'
capability, to commit the professional advance, to ensure the profit-making. The anticipant results
would indicate the pivotal elements account for HR competency and will further show the linkage
with the needs for T&D. In short: the research deliver a set of clear concepts for HR performance and
the role of HR in their organization; illustrating the real needs for HR professional training programs.

ProQuest document link
Abstract:
The main purpose of this study was to explore the positive and negative effects of the internship
experience on the behavioural intentions of college students in Taiwan. The results of this study
suggest five major types of experience; sensory, affective, creative cognitive, physical and relational;
have different effects on satisfaction, willingness to return to the original internship organisation,
willingness to work, willingness to recommend the internship organisation to other students, ability to
move between departments during the internship, whether to continue with studies or suspend

ASSESSING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF INTERNSHIP IN TOURISM
EDUCATION AND TRAINING IN GHANA
Author: Owusu-Mintah, Samuel B; Kissi, Michael
ProQuest document link
Abstract:
Internship for students is crucial for demonstrating the use of skills learnt in the classroom. This
paper, based on a study conducted by using mixed methods in 2011, examines the effectiveness of
internship in tourism education and training. A sample of 205 Tourism graduates of a polytechnic in
Ghana, selected using snowball sampling method, was used for the study. A major challenge
identified in the implementation of internship for students was how to find industrial placement for
the teeming tourism and hospitality students to ensure that they acquired the appropriate on-the-job
skills. This paper argues that for polytechnic students to meet the needs of industry and be
employed after graduation, internship should be given priority in the design of the curriculum. The
paper concludes that innovative ways should be found to ensure that sufficient periods of internship
are undertaken by tourism students to give them hands-on training for ready employment with
industry after graduation. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
