Our Modules
Module I - ASSESSMENT COMPONENT OF EMPLOYMENT COUNSELLING (ACEC)
Dr. Patsula originally developed this course to meet the needs of service organizations, particularly the Federal Government, in their career counseling role.
Module IV - Spinning Straw Into Gold
As a job coach you are in a unique position to affect change in the lives of those citizens you serve and on the economic life of your community. Many of you have years of experience, with incredible depth and breath of understanding when it comes to the business of finding jobs.
Module VII - Prime Time: Leadership and Performance Management Training
In a time when government is concerned with results in terms of investing in clients, it seems logical when staff training investments are made, that we look for results in achieving the desired learning objectives and transfer of skills to the job.
Module II - INDIVIDUAL EMPLOYMENT COUNSELLING
If Module I can be seen as a problem solving process of clarification and goal setting, then Module II can be seen as a process of goal confirmation, intervention and evaluation with the strongest emphasis on intervention.
Module V - Job Finding Clubs: TRAINING FOR LEADERS
This is all about creating new opportunities for our unemployed citizens. Rather than approaching employers to ask for something, we approach employers with something to offer, an ongoing partnership characterized by an equal exchange of resources and opportunities.
Module VIII - Discovering your options aka "Individual and/or Group Service Needs Determination"
The Philosophy behind this session is to help the client, it is important to note, this is done by the use of six critical steps which help the client understand his/her situation and what is to be done. Group interaction sessions allow the members to give each other support and to normalize their reaction to unemployment by listening to others reactions.
Module III - Group Facilitation
Module III was developed to help counsellors/staff lead groups and deal with group interactions more effectively. This course is not on group presentation and content, but rather on leadership and group interaction.
Module VI - Life Skills (Training for Trainers)
Training for Trainers is a 3 day workshop to assist career practitioners to run group sessions for clients in need of skills readiness prior to entering the labour market. The curriculum addresses social, psychological, cognitive, and attitudinal factors associated with preparation to enter the world of work.
Module IX - Communication Skills
The aim of the Basic Communications Skills Training is to give participants a basic understanding of counseling and the skills required. At the completion of the course, participant's listening and responding skills will become more effective and their interpersonal communications and interpersonal relationships will improve.
Module XI - Circle of Courage
The philosophy embodied in this circle of courage is not only a cultural belonging of Native peoples, but a cultural birthright for all the world’s citizens. Lacking a sense of self-worth, a young person from any cultural or family background is vulnerable to a host of social, psychological, and learning problems.
