Provision Of Second-Chance Education: The Hong Kong Experience, David Lim
Provision Of Second-Chance Education: The Hong Kong Experience, David Lim
Prof. David Lim
Purpose – Many students do not benefit from mainstream education and are forced to leave it. Governments and non‐government organisations concerned with the social injustice and problems that such rejection could cause offer these students second‐chance education programmes. This paper aims to examine the effectiveness of such opportunities, using as a case‐study the Vocational Training Council (VTC) of Hong Kong, which offers programmes in vocational education and training (VET) but draws lessons for the offer of such programmes elsewhere. Design/methodology/approach – The study uses a case‐study approach but sets it within the general literature on, and discussion of, second‐chance education. …
Discretion And The Implementation Of Federal Disability Policy In Postsecondary Education, Katy Annette Washington
Discretion And The Implementation Of Federal Disability Policy In Postsecondary Education, Katy Annette Washington
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Disability Services Providers (DSPs) have historically been the personnel tasked with implementing federal disability policy at postsecondary institutions primarily since the passage of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990. The model adopted by the majority of DSP offices is student-driven and requires students seeking academic accommodations must go through a formal process to determine eligibility for services, and then play an active role in their provision. Disability-related policies at the campus level are usually authored by DSPs who are seen as experts by the institution and its stakeholders. However, sometimes …
The Juvenile Addiction Risk Rating For Use In Vocational Rehabilitation, Paul Tyler Hickerson
The Juvenile Addiction Risk Rating For Use In Vocational Rehabilitation, Paul Tyler Hickerson
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
The prevalence of substance use among adolescents warrants considerable concern since it often has detrimental effects on an individual’s physical and mental health, and correlates with worsened Social, physical, and employment outcomes. Research shows that adolescents with disabilities are especially susceptible to the development of substance use disorders. To address this concern and to ensure accurate rehabilitation service planning, effective screening for substance use risk is necessary. Unfortunately, the most common screening instruments for adolescent substance use rely on information obtained solely from self-report. This type of data, although useful, is also susceptible to inaccuracies due to such factors as …

Vocational Implications Of Cult Involvement, Melissa Dawn Jones Wilkins
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Currently, the majority of studies published on cult membership have been quantitative and have focused primarily on theories and trends about cult membership.

Because of the potential vocational impacts of cult involvement, it is valuable to explore the psychoSocial aspects of work. A qualitative methodology informed by phenomenology was utilized to investigate the unique experience of individuals obtaining employment after leaving a cult. Seven …

Mining Big Data To Create A Tool For Empirical Observation Of Continuous Safety Improvement In A Construction Company - A Progressive Case Study In The Lean Environment, Nicolas J. Michuda
Open Access Theses
In any iterative process, without a system of measurement, controlled improvement cannot be recorded. This is especially true in the construction industry, where error occurs, often with fatal repercussions. As part of a process to facilitate the establishment of this metric, an entirely new application was created. The goal of this application is to measure the causal factors that lead to incidents, which will allow the user and administration to track the circumstances and types of incidents. This enables the company to focus on these problem areas and improve through training. By analyzing these incident trends over time, the company …

To clarify, the research questions that prompted this study seek to find out if 12th grade CTE concentrator students in programs of study at (16) randomly chosen Area Technology Centers (ATCs) across the state had different graduation rates than those 12th grade students not engaged in CTE career pathways in (16) corresponding high schools for the 2012 – 2013 school year. The study also compared …

The Imperativeness Of The Inclusion Of Multiple Intelligences In Safety Training, Melissa Diers-Sarasin
Online Theses and Dissertations
Many organizations are increasingly becoming aware that effective safety training is a key element in their success. Employers are now forced to face the challenges of holistically evaluating safety programs to ensure their multigenerational workforce comprehends, utilizes, and values the safety training provided to them. These expectations are brought about by regulations and the need to control expenditures directly related to safety training and performance. Now more than ever, it is imperative that multiple intelligences are incorporated into safety education and training programs. This article examines key elements of multiple intelligences, the significance of their incorporation in safety education and …
