Paper – You will be expected to write and hand in a term paper that of an actual training program inclusive of a needs assessment and a projected evaluation instrument. The paper can be on any topic. In your topic you should describe the complexities, key situation, analysis, conclusions, and recommendations.

 

 Document your sources carefully using APA style with a reference page as the last page. No more than 7 pages. Use of graphs and other visual analysis is highly encouraged. Font Size 12, Times New Roman Font. Margins 1” all around and must be JUSTIFIED. You must document a reference page of texts, web sites, and other sources you researched and cite them, even if you did not use them. Therefore, articles from which you read you should document anyway for inclusion in this reference list. You may only reference from your textbook, academic journals which can be accessed through the college on-line library or in some cases Google Scholar. You must have a header with your last name, the semester and year on the top right. (i.e. Cherubini Spring 2026) The bottom center must have page numbers.

 

On the front cover should read the name of your report in capital letters in bold, your name, the course, the school, the semester and year and the professor’s name on a 3×5 plain blank/white shipping label centered on the middle of the hard black cover. Page numbers should begin on the first page of your writing and not the title page. After the cover page of your report, you should prepare an abstract. The next page of your report would then begin your introduction of the report followed by the body, conclusion and finally references.

 

In other words build a training program, steps you will need to take to get it accomplished.
