3. What’s wrong with society? • The unemployment rates are through the roof. According to Bloomberg Business Week (2009), there are approximate 3 million jobs that employers are actively recruiting for, but so far have been unable to fill. • Unemployment rate - 8.1% • Team Building needs to improve for tackling more tasks. • Communication skills will improve our relations with clientele. • Creativity will sky rocket this company to the top. • Problem solving will help us, well, solve problems.

4. General Idea • We will mainly have classes to improve on you skills. • We will have hands on things in every class at some time in the curriculum. • We will have tests quizzes at the end of each week or around that time. • You will have to take notes (unless we have hands-on day) everyday on the lesson and you will have a follow-up assignment after. • You will need to have a passing grade in everything. • If you are absent for a day you will have come on when on a hands on day or somewhere you have time. • You will not have a lot of homework but when you do you will need to do it. • You will arrive around 3:00 and leave around 11:00

5. Skill 1- Team building Team Building is important because a person cannot run the whole company by himself. He needs help a lot of times and it world be an over load of work on the workers part. A company cannot run if the workers do not get along. They will only fight and not get any work done ad the business will come crashing down. We are trying to build up this skill so that work can be done more efficient and so that every one has a part. Each worker can be doing one small part of a big job, with that the job will be done faster because each worker is focusing on one thing and that will get in done faster. With this skill our business can really skyrocket and all the workers will have that many more friends and be successful at the same time.

6. Scenario • This class will be strictly hands on. • We will be building a boat. • The whole class will split into groups, each group will have a part of the boat to build. In the groups each person will be in charge of a part of the their part of the boat. You will have a participation grade everyday. If you do not work with the group or get into fight you will lose credit of the day. Like always you need a passing grade to graduate form this class. Your grade also depends on your peers so make you get your part done and check up on your teammates. The boat will be tested at the end of the curriculum. • What we want out of this is to mainly have fun and meet and learn how to work with new people. You need to know how to get along with people your don't know so that there are no problems in the work place. If fights do break out you may be ejected from the building because we take this very seriously

7. Desired Outcome You will have produced a sailable boat. But be warned, you will go sailing on this boat. Try not to get injured doing this, as it is not covered in your insurance nor will you receive workman’s comp. If you manage to make this boat sail, you will pass the class and will receive a certificate, credits and a free luncheon.

8. Skill 2- Creativity • What is creativity? • Creativity- Without new ideas, the company will stay at a consistent level for a long time and eventually start to decrease in popularity. We need people who can think of ideas to get the public to notice the company. We need a guy who can give society what they want. • The importance in the workplace? • Without creativity, the company will lack pizzazz and will eventually falter into oblivion. We have to stay on top with new ideas to keep the public and cliental happy. Without creativity the public will find us boring and not but our products.

9. Scenario For creativity we will have classes to improve your ideas. Every day we will talk about ideas that have sparked up huge breakthroughs that have made companies skyrocket in wealth. We will teach about how to look deeper into situations to see hidden things that can also start an idea that can help the company that no one else sees. We teach them about long and short team ideas to boost the company. We will interact with the class and simulate some of the employee’s ideas.

10. Desired Outcome • From this want to our employees to be all ways be coming up with new fun, and cool ideas for this company so that it stays on top of all others. When people look at company they look at things that make them different form the other. We need people to always be telling us what is the new thing, so that we can make a new product that can fit that new trend and always have an idea for that situation. With creativity the company can be very successful because our ideas really attract the public. Creativity is the key to have products that really stick out and are liked by the public.

If you don’t now what your partner(s) are saying the how are going to get the task done. Communication will help us get things done faster and more efficient. Communication between workers can really benefit us by also having a good time with the people are working. The more you communicate with someone the better friends you become. If you are working with your friends you will have fun while doing work.

12.

In a company there is going to be bugs and issues that need to be fixed in order for the company to prosper. Problems are not to be left alone they will bring down the company that way. The company can be doing great but one little slip or bug and the company can go bankrupt or something serious. We should have a specific group of people that are there for fixing all the problems that come around. Problem solving can also spark a universal idea for fixing the problem. Problems are always occurring and will always try and harm your company and other things.

Basically we are trying look ahead of what is happening Depending on how good the idea works and how fats it works Like other classes you will need passing grades to graduate . Also seminars will be held every so often about real problems with the company. Depending on the problem, it can be counted as a grade or extra credit. Also we will have more of a hands-on situation. We will give teams a broken electronic device such as an iPod, or computer with a virus. They will have around an hour or 2 to figure out what is wrong and solve it before time is up. Depending on what type of technology it is and how far they are in the class this will be counted as a grade or extra credit.
