Create a 12- to 15-slide presentation with speaker notes using Microsoft PowerPoint, Prezi, or a similar tool to outline the steps in the new hire training process for your company.

By "your company" I mean either a fictional company that you've created and included information about what it does and who it serves, or you may pick a company with which you are familiar.

IN THE ALTERNATIVE **** you may write a 700-800 word paper instead of the slide presentation, if that better fits your learning style. - Let me know if you have any questions. - Dina
