Career Development Plan

/in /by

  

Prepare your own five-year career development plan about ‘What do you intend to do professionally in the next 5 years (1st year, 2nd year, 3rd year, 4th & 5th year)’? Your plan must be presented in time-line format (This can be done using MS Project and multiple other software). Your plan will also be assessed on the basis of how creative your time-line is. Simple timelines (a simple table of one made using word) will be marked down. Be very specific with your timeline, provide dates for when you will achieve different things mentioned in your timeline. For instance, if you mention in your timeline you will attempt an exam provide a DATE of when you will attempt that exam. Also include the COSTS associated with completing different activities. Your career plan must address and consider the following items:

a) What are your career objectives? What position, field or industry do you want to work in/for? (To be answered in introductory paragraph – Max 1 page)

o Which province in Canada and why? (This needs to be supported with job market analysis such as employment options, field attractiveness- current job openings within your field, income potential/salary rates across different provinces– I want to see a lot of statistics in here – Don’t make this section descriptive – use graphs, pie-charts, salary benchmarking tables from federal and provincial reliable sources)

b) If you in intend to work for an organization, what are the possible promotional opportunities for career growth and what senior level position do you wish to obtain? How long will it take for you to obtain your next promotion within your field? What certificate will be needed for promotion? how many years of experience will be required for the promotion? (again, maximum one page in writing and also included these promotions in your time-line)

c) An inventory of your current skills, abilities, training, and education and the required qualifications for your desired position? (Strictly use a table to outline your current education as well as all job-specific skills, certificates etc., that you have. Only mention the certificates/degrees acceptable in Canada)

d) From your time- line Identify three action steps that are crucial to achieving your stated career development plan. These steps are usually those without which your plan cannot proceed. (Put a heading action steps and describe them in short paragraphs- 3-4 lines maximum) 

e) Identify potential barriers that might prevent you from reaching your stated career goals and objectives. (In bullet points – make sure they are all realistic and applicable to you. Just imagine what problems would you face while starting your professional career in Canada)

Assignment: Research Design and Sampling

Using the empirical research article that your instructor approved in the Week 5 assignment, ask yourself: “Is this a quantitative research article or a qualitative research article?” Remember, in quantitative research, the emphasis is on measuring social phenomenon because it is assumed that everything can be observed, measured, and quantified. On the other hand, in qualitative research, it is assumed that social phenomenon cannot be easily reduced and broken down into concepts that can be measured and quantified. Instead, there may be different meanings to phenomenon and experiences. Often in qualitative research, researchers use interviews, focus groups and observations to gather data and then report their findings using words and quotations.

Consider how these different methods affect the sampling design and recruitment strategy, and ask yourself how the recruitment of research participants will affect the findings.

For this Assignment, submit a 3-4 page paper. Complete the following:

Read your selected empirical research article, and identify whether the study is a quantitative or qualitative study. Justify the reasons why you believe it is a quantitative or qualitative study. (Your instructor will indicate to you if you are correct in identifying the research design. This will point you to whether you will use the “Quantitative Article and Review Critique” or the “Qualitative Article and Review Critique” guidelines for the final assignment in week 10.)

Using the empirical research article, focus on the sampling method in the study and begin to evaluate the sampling method by answering the following:

Describe the sampling methods in your own words (paraphrase, do not quote from the article).

Describe the generalizability or the transferability of the research finding based on the sampling method.

Discuss the limitations the article identified with the sample and how those limitations affect the reliability or credibility.

Explain one recommendation you would make to improve the sampling plan of the study that would address these limitations in future research.

The practice of health care providers at all levels brings you into contact with people from a variety of faiths. This calls for knowledge and acceptance of a diversity of faith expressions.

The purpose of this paper is to complete a comparative ethical analysis of George’s situation and decision from the perspective of two worldviews or religions: Christianity and a second religion of your choosing. For the second faith, choose a faith that is unfamiliar to you. Examples of faiths to choose from include Sikh, Baha’i, Buddhism, Shintoism, etc.

In your comparative analysis, address all of the worldview questions in detail for Christianity and your selected faith. Refer to Chapter 2 of Called to Care for the list of questions. Once you have outlined the worldview of each religion, begin your ethical analysis from each perspective.

In a minimum of 1,500-2,000 words, provide an ethical analysis based upon the different belief systems, reinforcing major themes with insights gained from your research, and answering the following questions based on the research:

  1. How would each religion interpret the nature of George’s malady and suffering? Is there a “why” to his disease and suffering? (i.e., is there a reason for why George is ill, beyond the reality of physical malady?)
  2. In George’s analysis of his own life, how would each religion think about the value of his life as a person, and value of his life with ALS?
  3. What sorts of values and considerations would each religion focus on in deliberating about whether or not George should opt for euthanasia?
  4. Given the above, what options would be morally justified under each religion for George and why?
  5. Finally, present and defend your own view.

Leadership can be defined as ‘‘a process whereby an individual influences a group of individuals to achieve a common goal’’ (Northouse, 2004). This means here is relationship in leadership. Examples of relationally focused leadership styles include transformational leadership which motivates others to do more than they originally intended and often more than they thought possible, individualized consideration, which focuses on understanding the needs of each follower and works continuously to get them to develop to their full potential, and resonant leadership that inspires, coaches, develops and includes others even in the face of adversity (Stantou, et al., 2017). Transformational leaders use idealized influence, inspiration and motivation, intellectual stimulation and individualized consideration to achieve superior results and resonant styles are based on the emotional intelligence of the leaders (Stantou, et al., 2017). In task focused or non-relationally focused leadership styles can be categorized as management by exception, laissez-faire, transactional leadership, dissonant leadership styles, and instrumental leadership. In Active Management-by-Exception, the leadership focuses on monitoring task execution for any problems that might arise and correcting those problems to maintain current performance levels.

In laissez-faire styles, they are passive avoidance of issues, decision making and accountability and only tend to react only after problems had reaches a critical point and often avoids making any decisions at all. Passive– avoidant leadership tends to react only after problems have become serious to take corrective action, and often avoids making any decisions at all (Stantou, et al., 2017). Transactional leadership emphasize the transaction or exchange that takes place among leaders, colleagues and followers to accomplish the work (Bass and Avolio, 1994). Dissonant leadership is characterized by pacesetting and commanding styles that undermine the emotional foundations required to support and promote staff success (Goleman et al., 2002). Instrumental leadership focuses on the strategic and task-oriented developmental functions of leaders (Stantou, et al., 2017). Initiating structure referred to the degree to which leaders articulate clear role expectations, create well defined communication channels and focus on tasks and attaining goals (Judge et al., 2004).

Where I do PRN job, my director used transformational leadership style. This has made many of us to practice collective responsibility. This hospital has a high nurse-retention level because of this humane leadership.

Describe how you would develop a comprehensive Vessel Security Assessment for a Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) Tanker. What elements should the elements have? Why are these elements important? What vulnerabilities concern you the most? Why are they important?

Student Response 

Lyle

I think the most important part of the Vessel Security Assessment would be looking to prevent a spill or fire aboard a Liquid Natural gas Tanker (LNG). Fire detection and suppression systems need to be in good working condition and tested frequently or at least annually. A spill or fire can happen on accident or on purpose, both need to be addressed. The equipment that people use who are working aboard the ship, needs to be safe as well. Such as flashlights that are safe for a flammable environment. “All the types of equipment used to form the LNG carrier should be intrinsically safe” (JHA, 2019). Making sure that employees understand what kind of equipment they may have aboard that is personal and going through the equipment that is issued to the workers. 

Measures to keep people out of restricted areas needs to exist and it needs to work. Not every crew needs access to the engine room or the tanks that are carrying the gas, having a system in place such as keys and identification cards for different levels of access for the workers. Fire detection and suppression systems, checking workers gear and ensuring the workers who don’t need access to critical areas of the ship, do not have that access, are all ways to prevent an accident or an attack internally. 

To prevent accidents or attacks externally, close coordination with the Coast Guard and Captain of the Port will be the best bet. The Coast Guard can provide an armed escort of the ships to prevent terrorist attacks as well as keep civilian boaters out of the way of the ship. Private boaters tend to not know what they are doing most of the time and will have no problem cutting off a large ship like an LNG, not realizing that the LNG has no room to maneuver in the channel. This type of problem can cause a large ship to have to slow down and be at the mercy of the current until the situation is resolved. 

Finally, looking for any weak areas with he ships security and the port that it will be docking with (Hiteshk, 2019). Even little things like making sure the fence at the port that is around the ship has no openings or damage. Review any past inspections and make sure that discrepancies that were noted have been fixed. If they have not been fixed, find out why and note it on the new assessment.  

Usually the most concerning problem with any ship is fire or flooding at sea. With an LNG, my biggest concern is the fire due to the risk of explosion. LNG can pose a risk to the local population as they transit to their berth. They sometimes go under busy bridges or get very close to land. If an LNG were to explode near a populated area, it would likely impact everyone in that area.

Good Evening Class,

There are many factors to consider when creating a Vessel Security Assessment. There are even more when you are developing an assessment for a vessel that carries liquid natural gas. Now the basics of the assessment do not drastically change, just specific factors do. The biggest factor thats  different is the type of cargo. Other than the cargo being extreme dangerous, liquid natural gas can only be handled at specific ports. After reading the details on marine insight, author Hiteshk, states multiple keys points that should be required for a vessel assessment. The first is identifying shipboard operations and the security measures that they need. Now, I conduct security inspections for the Coast Guard, and all of these vessels need the same security measures. Some of these measures are that they need to have someone watching the brow at all times while in port. They need to have all restricted spaces locked. The also have anti pirate equipment, such as barbwire. Some vessels have mannequins with air soft guns taped to them to look like security to deter pirates. Due to the factor of having dangerous cargo, I would request to have an escort from the Coast Guard to shoulder the vessel while it enters port. This way it would help prevent other vessels from getting to close.

            Next, Hiteshk states that you need to identify weaknesses. A big part of this is understanding not only the vulnerabilities of the boat. but the issues of the port. Many ports around the world do not have the same level of standards as we do in the United States. My Lieutenant Commander was a Merchant Marine and he said that in many African ports there are people lined up waiting for the boat to moor just to try to climb up the lines. They would just use long poles to push them off. Also, there is corruption in many ports where the tug and dock workers need to be bribed to work. During my inspections, I have found rooms that are full of cigarettes. This is a clue that they need to pay people off.

            Next in the human factors, which include the vessel workers. As the Vessel Security Officer, you create policies and put plans into place. You need to make sure that the workers are following those policies.  Finally, you need plan for different scenarios. Now that you have plans in place, the vessel workers need to practice. There should be table top and practical exercises to make sure that the plans not only work but the workers know what to do. To use my earlier example of the barbwire to assist in a pirate situation, the crew needs to know where the barbwire is and how to mount it.

            All of the elements are very important. In my last weeks post, I stated that our greatest threat is that we have so many. You will never be able to prevent or plan for every situation. However, as a Vessel Security Officer, you can identify to most potential threats, make a plan, and practice it.

Short Video: https://www.axios.com/2020-democratic-election-sanders-socialism-425b1dde-8e02-48e6-92cc-6a5af01f1ef7.html (Links to an external site.) 

I love this video because it relates perfectly to the kind of political theory that we are learning in this course and moreover, throughout the Foucault readings. The video highlights Bernie Sanders’ economic vision of socialism. For philosophers such as Foucault and Althusser, socialism (whether we support it or not) is a model of popular redistribution. Bernie Sanders refers to it as “Democratic Socialism” because according to his thinking, the United States is a “corporate socialist” society. He promotes the word “democratic” referring to the latin-greek root of the word – “demo” which means population. According to Sanders, the American society lives in a corporate socialist system in the sense that large corporations have gotten bailed out crisis after crisis from the banks in 2008 to the auto industry in 2009, to the airlines in 2020; which is the opposite of the capitalist doctrine. This is a model that according to Sanders, prioritizes corporate boards over the popular working class. He also mentions that the concept of government subsidies and exemptions to corporations is also a form of elite socialism as taxpayer money is redistributed to private companies. In practice, Bernie advocates that authentic capitalism would be for the government to let large corporations fail should they be on the brink of bankruptcy. This phenomenon is the factual opposite of our financial system. According to US law, any bank with a net worth reaching or exceeding $250 Billion Dollars, has a legal status known as “too important to the financial system to let fail” (Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act of 2018). This can definitely be interpreted as corporate socialism. 

We can definitely debate on whether we support Bernie Sanders’ policies or not. I personally don’t but the point isn’t there. The point is that I recognize the authenticity and credibility of his “democratic socialism” theory as it aligns with a doctrine of popular redistribution that any dictionary would support. Moreover, it finds support among the philosophies of Foucault, Marx, Althusser, and Trotsky.

Can you imagine a world where you wake up in the morning, and you go to your doctor’s office without ever leaving your house? Instead, you plug your blood pressure cuff into your computer and you insert your saliva sample into an analytical drive. The analysis is sent to a virtualphysician who lives a thousand miles away. He diagnoses an illness that requires surgery. Lucky for you, the surgeon drone is not terribly busy that morning, and you are able to have your gallbladder removed early in the afternoon. The drone arrives, gives you anesthesia, and by employing ultrasound technology, your doctor can operate by remote control. Without interacting with a human at any point in the process, you have an organ removed in your own home.

For many people, the idea that a university could appear in your living room was equally hard to imagine. Yet, Walden can provide you with a world class education without physically sharing a space with fellow students and teachers. Today online learning is a more common experience, and you are bravely doing what was only a dream 20 years ago.

What wonderful uses of technology! Yet there can be a dark side to technology and the virtual world. Texting while driving isn’t the only thing that can cause an injury. Many people get news of an end to a relationship via a text message, cry about an ex’s post on Facebook, or find out about an affair by cyber sleuthing. We must learn to navigate the positive aspects of technology (1 in 3 marriage licenses in New York City were to couples who met online) while dealing with the perversion rampant online.

In this week’s Discussion you will use the Week 1 Notes and Readings to explore what it means to be human in a virtual world. Reference the resources in your post and response. You do not have to formally cite a source, but if you are relating an idea or building upon the readings, poems, or videos, please identify the source.

To prepare for the Discussion:

The “To prepare” component of the Discussion identifies the Learning Resources you will need to read or view to inform your post for the Discussion. Additionally, it may ask you to think about a specific topic, consider an alternate perspective, or recall life experiences which may inform your Discussion post.

  • Read and reflect upon the Week 1 Notes and Readings.
  • Think about interactions you have had in a virtual space such as a help line/call center, Skype, Amazon shopping cart, or your communications with Walden University.
  • Think about whether you’ve had emotional reactions to material online.
  • Review the Discussion Rubric and Sample Discussion Board Responses documents.

Post a paragraph response (about 200–300 words in length) to the following questions:

  • Do you behave and communicate differently online than you do face-to-face? How so? Give specific examples.
  • What does it mean to be “fully human”? In light of your definition, do you think we can be “fully human” while interacting with others in a virtual space? Why or why not?

The Balanced Scorecard is a control tool created in the early 1990s and aimed at aligning an organization’s performance with its strategic objectives. This tool, widely used in business, government and non-profit organizations, provides an overall view of performance through four main aspects: finance, innovation and learning, internal business, and customers. Likewise, the Balanced Scorecard is used as a method of controlling project performance.

For this paper, you will apply a Balanced Scorecard approach to the project plan developed during the Group Activity. Using the four perspectives outlined in the article “Align project management with organizational strategy” apply each perspective the project that was outlined in your group’s project plan. You should also download this balanced scorecard for a visual example: Regional Airline Balanced Scorecard (Download the pdf).

Based on the overall goals of the organization (you are free to make some assumptions given the information you have), as well as those of the project, identify some specific objectives for each of the categories of the Balanced Scorecard (Employee Growth and Learning, Internal Processes, Customer Satisfaction, and Financial.)

Which are the relationships among the specific objectives of the project identified? (See the Regional Airline Balanced Scorecard Simplified Strategy Map)

Identify the specific performance measures for each area that will illustrate the success of the project

What are the targets for these performance measures—how will you know when the performance measures have been reached?

Which specific initiatives and actions, by the organization, will contribute to the attainment of the targets?

Again, assumptions are allowed just be sure to articulate them in the paper.

Submit at least a 2- page paper (independent of the title page and reference page) double-spaced in Times New Roman (or its equivalent) font which is no greater than 12 points in size. Any citations should be in APA format.

Paper Assessment Criteria

Multiple objectives identified in each of the categories of the Balanced Scorecard: financial, customer, internal and learning. Objectives identified are clearly linked with the project. Description of the objectives is concise and self-explanative.

Relationships for all the specific objectives established have been identified. A strategy map is included to better illustrate the relationships.
