Description
This is an 8 week course. Students attend 90 minutes of class per week (single session) and must complete all 8 modules. Classes will comprise a presentation, demonstration, practical application and discussion time. Homework will be given to support learning goals.
Expectations and Goals
The goal of this programme is to provide a structured framework for staff members, with 15 or more years of service who are being made redundant, to develop the social networking skills necessary to allow them to successfully negotiate the changed employment market. This will be achieved through a series of workshops in which students will learn about social media and its use in employment-seeking and then actively participate in using the relevant social media.
By the end of the course, students will have established profiles on a series of social networks, which will support their transition from employment at Megabux. Staff who complete the course will be capable of using a series of social networking tools to engage with companies and individuals that they are interested in working for or with. They will understand the means which employers are now using to advertise to potential employees and to appraise potential employees. Students will also understand the behaviours they should exhibit in their online engagements and will have built a digital footprint which will support their pursuit of alternative employment.
