Today marked my first official meeting with the members of Workforce and Economic Development. During this time my responsibilities and goals for the practicum were given to the other members of the division. The goals for my time with this division are as follows:
1. Develop curricula for and implement non-credit professional development courses designed to
help educators implement web 2.0 technologies in the classroom
2. Plan and deliver a workshop designed to help students adapt to online course environments
3. Take part in assisting individuals in developing skills in applying for jobs online as well
as job search strategies
4. Learn about the different aspects of the division through working with the other project
managers/staff
Also in the meeting I was included in the attendees of the upcoming Workforce Summit given by the Mississippi Corridor Consortium (a partnership between 4 different community colleges) to be held May 24-25 in Mayhew, MS. This annual summit explores the current issues faced by workforce personnel in the consortium and will also include visits to local industries.
All in all, this practicum promises to be a busy, productive experience.
