Breifcase program

Students work in small groups to analyze a case and present their findings and recommendations to a panel of company executives and faculty. Written and verbal communication skills, analysis, team dynamics, and leadership are integrated throughout the course, and students submit an executive summary of the case. This course also provides a wide array of networking opportunities; students interact with and are provided with feedback from business professionals.

Seniors are encouraged to engage in career and professional development activities and utilize the resources offered by VSB, the Villanova Career Center and the VU Seniors program, as appropriate for their needs and interests.

A one-credit course, focusing on general leadership topics, will be piloted with seniors on a voluntary basis during an upcoming semester. The future intent is for all VSB seniors to participate in a leadership academy with the opportunity to choose a section focusing on a specific leadership topic, including Communication in the Workplace, Leadership Styles, Negotiation Skills, Workplace Diversity, etc.

The BB coordinator works with students to resolve these kinds of issues. This is important because Facebook is an important form of communication for many young adults. This is how the program helps students hone communication skills that are appropriate for different audiences through role plays and discussion. The last three days focus on skills application. Students are guided to set short- and long-term goals based on what they have learned about themselves, their career aspirations, and available college programs.

During this time, they complete their admissions and financial aid applications and search and apply for scholarships. They go on a tour of the college, where they meet with deans and program directors and visit important places to know on campus, and visit other two-and four-year colleges. The program concludes when students complete an exit evaluation. As students get close to finishing the secondary credential, the BB coordinator asks the GED and HS diploma program instructors to incorporate career specific content with instruction.

The BB coordinator communicates which students are planning to pursue which certificate programs. The instructors then use the appropriate curricula with those students, either one-on-one or in small groups, depending on how many students are choosing the same career pathway.

The contextualized curricula teaches reading, writing, vocabulary, and math using content and skills relevant to a given certificate program. It is available free of charge upon request. Upon entering the program, students receive a backpack. Upon completing and enrolling in college, they receive a nylon briefcase, a leather portfolio with notepad, a pen, a water bottle, and a stress reliever a squeezable rubber brain.

This is a student-centered program where students are invited to provide suggestions and feedback and to network with each other. Student feedback caused the program to add a unit on study skills. Students came up with the program logo and name, Backpacks to Briefcases. I have found no suitable alternative for Briefcase. I am now forced to use the unsatisfactory Windows Backup to try to carry and update folders with a large number of files.

This is really aggravating and disappointing. The fix for this worked with the version, but does not work with the version. Did Microsoft remove the ability to activate Briefcase with the latest update? This thread is locked. You can follow the question or vote as helpful, but you cannot reply to this thread.
