Overall Concept for Assignment
For Assignments , you will assume that you are in management at an organization where your supervisor has asked you to develop a training plan for a specific constituency, such as employees, customers, clients, or the general public.
Note: You may create and / or make all necessary assumptions needed for the completion of these assignments. In your original work, you may use aspects of existing training plans from either your current or a former place of employment, or from an organization with which you are familiar.
However, in those instances, you must remove any and all identifying information that would enable someone to discern the organization(s) that you have used.
