U-Blog 1

This course has proven to be a lot more interesting than I had expected. Throughout the first two models we've done, we've had to examine the ideas of on the job training and the need for higher education. We also read an article about the the airplane company JetBlue. We looked at an approach they're doing in which they changed the name of their training program to university, JetBlue U. In this new type of training, they allowed the people being trained to speak openly and for more interaction to occur. I think this hands-on, up out your seat, open communication is a great way to get people to participate and fully understand their training. We also had to read a few articles about what corporate America needs and expects from people in the future. This was really an eye opener. It tells us what we really need to focus on today so that we don't keep doing the wrong things. One thing I think is just as important now than ever is the need for better communication and a more positive interaction among employees.
