Purpose: The purpose of this assignment is to provide an opportunity for you to (1) analyze the needs for international/cross-cultural training of individuals with specific backgrounds and (2) apply concepts from the field of diversity training, its rationale, methods, and results. Your abilities to establish meaningful criteria for a specific international/cross-cultural training program and meet them with an organized development process are the key in this assignment.
Format: Each student will select and develop a training program incorporating the multi-cultural concepts covered in this class for one of the two scenarios described below.
1) A group of people who are preparing to travel into another cultural setting (overseas) for a particular assignment
2) People in a corporation or other organization in the United State to help people deal with cultural and other diversity concerns among their current and future employees
The number of trainees and the length of the training period will be at your discretion. Please keep in mind, your role is a training developer/designer, not the trainer of this program. The developed training program will be the organizations asset, not your personal product. Therefore, your training program should be detailed enough for any trainers to use. Follow the detailed instructions from the attachment and review the grading rubric before beginning the work.
* Attachment has three previous students’ works on this assignment. They agreed to present their works as examples of this assignment. You may review their works and get an idea of how to complete this assignment. Note that these examples may not all have correct APA format. Please make sure you follow the APA style!
