Emotions, Communication and Productivity

Job Seeker Assistance Training- CASC - Cognitive and Social Change

Background

The Emotivation JSAP is a pre-accredited program designed for learners to gain confidence, self esteem and personal skills. The objective is to create pathways to nationally accredited training and / or employment. This course is a valuable pre cursor to any pre employability training. Teenagers, young adults and mature age students would all benefit from Emotivation training. Emotivation training is a pre cursor to any course such as;

* Foundation skills

* Pre employability training

* Future paced training

* Nationally accredited training

Challenge

Whilst dissolving the sense of entitlement and encouraging self empowerment this course identifies pathways to pre-accredited and accredited training. Learners will be mentally equipped to go onto consider further educational studies, paid employment or at the very least community engagement.

Solution

The learner will recognize and understand the skills and pathways required for paid employment and /or further education. Addictions, Behaviour Patterns, Time Management & Procrastination all address the issue of Self Management and lead the Job Seeker to identify their issues of Self Regulation. Learners are encouraged to look ahead to the future and how they would like it to be for them. This exercise reveals initiative and shows the learner how to think outside the square.

Pathways

Job Seekers are guided to investigate pathways that will lead them to a much brighter future by gaining sustainable employment. Some Job Seekers realize that they must return to study to achieve their desired outcome so relevant guidance and information is given to the Job Seeker in this area. Others may be guided to attend counselling for various issues and or rehabilitation for noted addictions that would make it impossible for them to return to mainstream employment without first addressing these issues.
