I work for the College of EHE Career Services Dept.  My responsibilities include program development by assessing what career searching/development information may be useful to students within the college, designing and developing a program that will meet those informational needs through an individual or collaborative effort, implementing and presenting the program through a workshop or information sessions, and evaluating the program and adjusting if necessary.  I also conduct one-on-one resume reviews with the College of EHE students.

MatttThe Corporate Training and Development major has assisted me with many different areas of knowledge and skills development that I can directly implement into my position with the College of EHE.  Extensive training with ADDIE has helped to give me the ability to develop and present information in a more efficient and effective manner. I also have applied training needs analyses on several different occasions while collaborating with my department coordinator to develop program ideas that can be useful within the career services department.

I am very satisfied with my decision to pursue this major, and I look forward to the opportunities CTD will bring me in the future in both my professional and personal development.

My name is Lauren Vossler. I am completing my internship at the Veterans Administration Ambulatory Care Center in Columbus, Ohio. Some of the projects that I am working on for my internship are assessing training needs for different departments in the facility, reviewing and ordering training material, designing a training course around the material and delivering the training material through one on one training sessions with the employees.

LaurenI am also working on developing training sessions for process improvement throughout the facility. This internship has been a great opportunity for me to “get my feet wet” in the Corporate Training and Development career field and to gain experience in applying what I have learned in this major.    

Since the start of my internship, I have gained many new skills such as understanding the development of an organization and assessing a company’s training needs and applying these needs to the development of a training program.

This has been a great professional experience for me and I have enjoyed working with this facility and serving our nation’s veterans.

Dr. David Stein, Educational Studies (EHE), and his team have received a grant from the Office of Distance Education and eLearning. His project was selected from a strong application pool by a team of faculty, staff, and students assembled from throughout the university. Dr. Stein and his team will use the grant to develop an open, online course designed to help graduate students to develop and conduct their own online teaching.

The course will give students important introductions to essential skills and best practices for online teaching and the course itself will provide them experience as an online student.  The course will also reduce a gap in the current preparation for online instruction and help OSU graduate students develop valuable skills. This project will debut with a pilot course section during Fall 2013. After the pilot, the course will be available to any students looking for self-paced training about how to teach online.
