NEW STRATEGICALLY PLANNING FOR

MANAGING AND SUPERVISING TODAY’S WORKFORCE

To strategically align company goals on “diversity in the workplace,” companies need to incorporate goals that proactively meet nondiscriminatory practices established by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Diversity in the workplace is fortified when employers follow rules, policies, and procedures that promote “equality” as well as “diversity.” How do you know what is expected of you? What can you do to be proactive and prevent discrimination and/ or harassment in the workplace? What are you going to do? This class will review the concept of Equal Employment Opportunity from a strategic planning, preventive perspective.

Understanding the DNA of today’s workforce and acquiring the strategic skills to manage it effectively have become essential management tools in our global economy. This highly interactive skill development workshop focuses mainly on the need of first-time supervisors and managers and trains them on the basics of effective 21st century workplace communication, motivation, coaching and performance evaluation. 1.2 CEUs

STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT - THE ROLE OF HR In today’s intensely competitive and changing global marketplace, sustaining a competitive advantage imposes a hefty premium on having a highly committed and competent workforce. As business conditions shift, HR practitioners are becoming strategic partners in business operations, playing proactive roles, rather than serving as passive administrators. Strategic HR means accepting a role as a partner in the formulation of the company’s strategies, as well as in the implementation of those defined strategies through HR activities. This session will include value-added tools that can be immediately put to use by HR practitioners. .6 CEU C111CP6110 Sylvia R Schaerer, SPHR Fri. 9am-4pm, May 6 UNLV Paradise Campus (PAR) Room 125 $315 Includes materials, refreshments, light lunch, and CEU

DEMONSTRATING HR VALUE THROUGH THE USE OF EFFECTIVE HR METRICS™ In today’s global market human talent constitutes the biggest asset of any organization. Hence, the efficiency level of an organization fundamentally depends on its human capital management (HCM). Comprehensive human resource measurement strategies enable management to collect consistent information about the employee population, which aids decision-making and ensures that management and development activities align with overall business strategy. With a sound HR metrics program, HR management can make business decisions that are based on cold facts rather than a “gut feeling,” and use the exact figures to back up business decisions and support requests for human talent. This class will cover the fundamentals of HR metrics and assist you with the development of such measurements. .6 CEU.

RADIO & TV VOICE-OVER WORKSHOP

Wayne Kodey

If radio and TV commercial voice-overs were that easy, more people would be doing them. If you are serious about finding out if you have what it takes to make it in this lucrative and highly competitive industry, this course is for you. Contrary to what you might think, voice-over has very little to do with your voice! It’s being able to read a script and make it sound like you’re not reading. This four-week course is not for the faint of heart. It is conducted and taught exactly the way the business runs in the real world. FYI: There is a huge difference between local and nationals level of voice-over performers. So, to give yourself the best opportunity of competing in any of the voice-over markets (New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and all regions in between), it is important to learn the business from someone who is in it on a national level. Your instructor is one of the most sought-after voice-over coaches for many top New York and Hollywood celebrities. She frequently commutes between Las Vegas and Los Angeles to coach stars such as King of Queens co-star Leah Remini, among many others. Her book, Take It From The Top!, is suggested reading for this course.

“Taking this class gave me a new creative pursuit in my life! The class became a springboard to even more study and more work, and yep, even a paying voice-over gig. (Just don’t expect voice-over to pay your bills.) DO expect that Alice knows the business, inside and out. DO expect her to put you through your paces, not only with how to approach copy, but also in how you manage yourself as an artist. It’s a tough business out there, and Alice won’t let you slide by or cut corners. Do the work, take the direction, and you’ll learn a lot from a dedicated professional who truly cares.” Jack G.

CREATIVE ORGANIZATION FOR “PILERS” You’ve heard about all the advantages to getting your life, your work and your space organized. You make resolutions to finally get everything in its proper place. Yet, the “mess” continues to defy any of your attempts to “clean up.” The problem is not you - the problem is that most of the ways we are told to organize were designed by organizing nuts. Their minds are methodical, and organizing comes natural to them. Your mind simply won’t work that way! They tell you to file, your mind wants to pile. They tell you to throw almost everything away, you want to keep everything. Instead, learn how to take control of the mess. Learn techniques that are ideally suited for those who hate filing, who can’t keep one of those fancy organizer notebooks organized. Let’s face it, you hate spending time on this organizing stuff. Your workspace will look better, and you’ll be more efficient without turning into one of those “wound too tight” types.

Cannon Survey Center Resources Cannon Survey Center operates a computer-assisted telephone interviewing (CATI) facility. This system enables precise control over the order of questions and the range of legitimate responses so that invalid or inappropriate responses are avoided. Information is also automatically entered into data files while interviews are being conducted. CSC also maintains a system that creates paper surveys whose information can then be scanned into the computer, eliminating manual data entry. In addition to optical mark recognition (e.g., Scantron forms), this system also provides hand print (ICR), machine print (OCR), and barcode recognition. The CATI system and the scanner system enable CSC to design and execute surveys in a timely manner, save your organization money, and improve data accuracy.

Class Cancellation and Refund Policy • The Division of Educational Outreach reserves the right to cancel any class or make any other changes it deems necessary in order to provide students with the best educational experience possible. • Course fees will be refunded in full if it becomes necessary to cancel a course, however, under no circumstances will the amount refunded exceed the amount of the registration fee. Educational Outreach will not reimburse students for the cost of travel or lodging in the unlikely event that a class is cancelled. Therefore, it is recommended that students traveling to attend classes make travel reservations that are able to be changed, should it become necessary to do so. • Educational Outreach will make all reasonable attempts to notify students of class cancellations or changes, using e-mail, phone, and fax contact information provided by the student at the time of registration. It is recommended you call 895-3394 a day prior to your class to confirm that the class will meet as scheduled. • We recognize you may occasionally need to cancel a registration. If you wish to receive a refund, we must receive a written statement (e-mail, fax, or postal mail) listing the course name and number, and giving the reason for cancellation. The direct link for the cancellation page is: http://edoutreach. unlv.edu/continuingeducation/registration/refund_request.html, or it may be faxed to 895-4195. Postal mail refund requests should be sent to Educational Outreach, 4505 S. Maryland Parkway, Box 451019, Las Vegas, NV 89154-1019. • Refunds of registration fees paid by credit card will be processed as a credit to the credit card account within seven business days of the cancellation notification. Refunds of registration fees paid by check will require a minimum of six weeks to be processed, to allow sufficient time for the check issued by the student to clear, prior to a refund check being issued. • Unless a separate policy is stated for a specific class or classes, the following applies to all cancellations and refunds: Prior to the first day of class 100 percent of the fee paid will be refunded minus a $10 administrative fee. If class has begun or concluded, refunds are decided on a case-by-case basis by calling 895-3394. All refunds must be done within 14 days of the last class. All of the provisions of the Class Cancellation and Refund Policy are in accordance with relevant Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE) rules and regulations adopted and approved by the NSHE Board of Regents. Payment of Fees • Payment must be received at the time of registration. Students are responsible for the payment of all fees associated with each course in which they enroll within the time period specified by UNLV. • Students who fail to pay fees when due, will be required to pay late fees, and any additional penalties established by UNLV. Failure to pay applicable fees when due will result in referral to an outside collection agency. • The Division of Educational Outreach cooperates with the Clark County District Attorney’s office to prevent bad check losses. A $25 service fee will be assessed for any check that is returned from the bank for any reason. Post-dated or two party checks will not be accepted. Any returned check shall be made good within ten days after notification to the student, or the student will not be permitted to attend any classes.

GO BACK TO GET AHEAD PATRICIA AMUNATEGUI UNLV Paralegal Program Graduate “I emigrated from Chile to Las Vegas for the second time in 1998 where I began working as a cocktail waitress at a successful casino on the Las Vegas Strip. After several years, I felt there had to be something out there that would be more satisfying. As a single mother, my schedule was inflexible and didn’t allow me to pursue a degree. Finally, I decided to give myself a chance and I enrolled in UNLV’s Paralegal Program. Not only was I working full time, but my English was not the best, making it extremely difficult to complete the lessons. Somehow, I persevered and was able to successfully complete my Paralegal degree in 2000. Immediately following, I landed a great job as the Vice President of the Nevada office of Mossack Fonseca, an international law firm specializing in international trusts and corporate services with 44 offices worldwide. It has been 10 years since completing the Paralegal Program at UNLV and every day I am thankful that I was able to begin a rewarding and challenging professional career. Until then, I never believed I could have a job where I would have so many opportunities to grow professionally and even travel all over the world. “
