Career Development in the Workplace: Academia and Industry Join Hands.
Haag-Mutter, Priscilla
Sinclair Community College (SCC) in Dayton, Ohio has designed a career development workshop for both hourly and salaried employees of Monarch Marking, Inc., to help the local industry to encourage its motivated employees to set and start working toward new career goals within the company. From 12 to 15 employees take part in each 16-hour, three-part workshop. The first session consists of orientation to the concept of career development, and a round-table discussion with management representatives to discuss job opportunities in different areas of the company. The second session, which is led by staff members from the Career Planning and Placement Center of SCC features three activities: (1) self-assessment of transferable skills; (2) work values clarification; and (3) exploration of identified careers. During the third session, the employees reconvene with college personnel for individual career counseling and wrap-up. Because programs of this nature often result in employees returning to their jobs with a variety of questions, the company's human resource planning and development staff conducts a meeting for supervisors of employees who have taken part in the workshops. Of the workshop participants, approximately 16% of the hourly employees have been promoted to salaried positions, while another 15% transferred to other areas of the company to start working toward their career objectives.
