COMPUTER TRAINING P. 13
We are excited to announce the multiple ways you can participate in your next training course. Some of these will be quite familiar to you, while others you may have seen or heard about. LET’S TAKE A MOMENT TO CLARIFY THE DIFFERENCES: Face to Face: This is the traditional classroom training typically conducted on-campus or at one of our training facilities. These are live classes offered on-site in a classroom. With this option, you have the benefit of speaking with your instructor and fellow participants face to face, with the greatest opportunity for networking and collaborative work with other participants. Simulcast: This format is a hybrid option incorporating both the face to face classroom elements and online participation via a live interactive webinar during the scheduled class times. In a simulcast, you will have the option to participate in person on campus or have the live classroom broadcast to you where you 4
will see the classroom and instructor and can participate via text or voice chat. This method offers flexibility if you choose not to attend on campus, is a great opportunity to be involved in the discussion and allows networking with a live instructor moderating. Webinar: With this format, the training is conducted entirely in our online classroom using our web conferencing communication and collaboration platform that combines video and chat. You will have access to a virtual classroom where you can chat with your fellow students, download digital copies of the materials, and participate in the live lecture and discussion from the comfort of your home or office.
YOUR SAFETY IS OUR FIRST PRIORITY.
Hybrid: This format is a combination of oncampus face to face instruction with live webinars or online modules. This option provides access to a variety of formats to meet the demands of your schedule and provide instruction either online modules, in-person, live webinars or a combination of the three. Online: We are happy to announce that ETI’s courses are being made available online in a selfpace environment. If you want to take one of our training courses, but you do not have the ability to dedicate a week to training you can simply take the same course online. You will have access to the same materials and content, but will complete the coursework on your own schedule.
SOCIAL DISTANCING PROTOCOLS, FACE MASKS, AND OUR RESPONSE TO COVID-19: UTA continues to monitor official sources as we plan course instruction and a safe return to classroom instruction. As we return to campus and to our various training centers we will be practicing social distancing to provide the healthiest possible environment for all. Additionally, in accordance with The Centers for Disease Control guidelines and state and local orders, The University of Texas at Arlington now requires that everyone wear face masks or coverings in campus buildings, including during classes. Stay current on this on-going situation by visiting uta.edu.

WRITING TECHNICAL WRITING CERTIFICATE While technical writing overlaps other genres of writing, mainly, business writing, what separates it from other types is that its over-arching goal is to simplify complex information for an external intended audience. Further, the sphere of technical writing focuses on technology, engineering, various reports, formal and informal proposals, analyses and other reader-useful correspondences. In fact, technical writing and technology work in tandem to write clear, concise, reader-centered instruction manuals. Because technical writers, including editors and proofreaders, are in high demand—given the growing need for coherent, fluent professional writing—a certificate in technical writing will assuredly open many career doors of opportunities; indeed, the TWCP is a prolific certificate worth pursuing. .

This program is available in two different versions: .NET and Java. Students will be prompted to select which version they wish to pursue when enrolling. The Gap Between Patching Software and Security Is Vast! The .NET framework has increased in popularity because of its open source nature, interoperability, language independence, library of codes, and ease of deployment. It’s become the preferred choice for application developers. However, there are not many classes that teach developers how to ensure their code is secure as well as correct. Moreover, any gap in the application development and deployment process can be damaging. .NET developers often learn security on the job. This is primarily because the basic education of programming does not usually cover or emphasize security concerns. Java Based Applications: The Most Popular and Yet the Most Vulnerable? According to the 2017 State of Software Security Report, nearly 90% of Java applications contain one or more vulnerable components, making them ideal breach points for hostile attackers. Although Java has come a long way from its development in 1995, cyber crime has also spread, reaching epidemic levels, increasing the need for secure Java developers, regardless of whether they’re creating a new program or upgrading an old one.

CLIENT-PATIENT RIGHTS Excellent customer service is not just a courtesy in the medical field; it’s a patient’s right. No one wants to visit a crass, rude, and off-putting doctor. Poor customer service can even discourage patients from seeking necessary treatments because they feel uncomfortable or uneasy in the care facility. When you make patients feel welcomed, even with something as simple as offering a smile, they will feel more comfortable, even during an uncomfortable visit. Suppose your patient Richard is diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. Instead of taking your word, he may want to see the test results or get a second opinion before starting treatment. As his care provider, you need to uphold his right to see the paperwork confirming the diagnosis before moving on to establish a care plan. Present your patient with a number of options and make recommendations, but respect the treatment the patient ultimately chooses.

CORPORATE COMPLIANCE AND ETHICS Today’s economy is a global one, and many businesses are adapting to work within an international climate. Some businesses are only involving themselves in the domestic economy, but all businesses have legal, social, and ethical responsibilities. All businesses are subject to the laws of the countries in which they operate. Laws may be similar throughout the United States, but laws of foreign nations may be different. Businesses are responsible for becoming familiar with the laws of their nation and other nations with whom they will interact. Ethics is a code of behavior. A code of business ethics is a code that businesses follow in the way they conduct business in a specific country. Codes of ethics can vary between nations. In one country, it may be permissible to give gifts to the people with whom you want to conduct business. However, when this practice is considered permissible, businesses must understand when the practice of gift giving goes beyond what is ethical and becomes unethical. Ethical standards are not necessarily part of the legal framework of a nation. Conflicts can arise when a practice that is considered ethical in one country is considered unethical in the country that is the domicile of the corporation. Social responsibility addresses issues different from ethical issues. Social responsibility is an obligation on the part of a company to act in a way that does not harm others. Social responsibility may be addressed when child labor is being used to manufacture products and when environmentally questionable practices are employed. The law, ethics, and social responsibility are interrelated in today’s business environment.

Businesses which embrace CSR promote the public interest through what they do (for example, encouraging community growth and development) and what they refrain from doing (for example, eliminating or avoiding practices that harm stakeholders, regardless of whether such practices are legal).

CREATING ORGANIZATIONAL STRATEGIES Companies that want to succeed over the long-term need to understand strategic management. The process itself is straightforward: identify the company’s mission and goals, perform both internal and external analyses of the company, decide what actions need to be taken, take the required actions, and evaluate the results of those actions. Different organizational strategies can help companies through the process. Companies need to choose the strategies that best fit their needs and be willing to adapt if necessary. Strategic management gives managers a road map that shows where problems are and where they might develop. Armed with practical information, managers can prepare for changes and know how to accommodate those changes when they arrive. Strategic management also provides a stronger sense of unity among a company’s seemingly disparate departments; it gives everyone a sense that they are working toward the same goals. Project management likewise consists of simple steps: stay on schedule, keep on or under budget, and follow the stated instructions and specifications. But the business climate makes the process more complex in reality. A globalized economy, a customer base that is better informed and less loyal, and a technological environment that has transformed how people find and purchase any product have all changed the equation for businesses. Companies also need to understand the resources at their disposal—both tangible (cash, employees, buildings) and intangible (company history, reputation). Understanding all these elements when working on projects will help companies keep their goals in mind, both for the short-term and for the future.

CREATIVITY & INNOVATION TOOLKIT Creativity and innovation are not one and the same. Creativity is the generation of new ideas by individuals and teams. Innovation is the process of converting those ideas into new products, business practices, and strategies that create value. It’s a meaningful distinction because creativity needs to be translated into something concrete for it to generate value. Protecting and nurturing new ideas, and bringing them to fruition, is the basis of innovation. That innovation takes place in and through organizations making it more complex. Leaders of organizations of all sizes and types hope to encourage creativity in their employees. Eliciting creative and innovative ideas within a group, team, or organization has become a crucial skill. The ability of leaders to nurture and protect new ideas is vital to the health of the organization.

Focusing on the philosophical issues and moral dilemmas within the field of criminal justice, this course takes a critical look a the principles of justice, deontology and utilitarianism as well as the various players within the system. Policing, researching, investigating, trying and incarcerating individuals within the criminal justice system raises a myriad of ethical considerations and the overall scope of state control.

DECISION MAKING The process of decision making involves a number of steps that can simplify the process, if not the decision itself. Which steps you follow and how you follow them is in part determined by what sort of decision you need to make.
DECISION MAKING IN GROUPS The process of decision making involves a number of steps that can simplify the process, if not the decision itself. Identifying the issue at hand is clearly the first step. From there, it is necessary to gather the required information to help figure out what sort of solution would work best. After formulating solutions, you can weigh the advantages and disadvantages of each, until you can finally make your selection and complete the process. Which steps you follow and how you follow them is in part determined by what sort of decision you make. Depending on such factors as the nature of the situation and your own decision-making style, your decision for any given situation may be rational—or it may be based on intuition. If you are faced with a situation in which you have all the facts and everything is clearly spelled out, you will be able to make a rational, pragmatic decision. If you have a situation that isn’t as clear, your decisions will likely be more intuitive—based on feeling rather than anything tangible. Intuitive decisions may be based on feeling, but in fact they are probably less random than we think. Our decisionmaking process, even when we make intuitive decisions, is based in part on our own knowledge, experience, and personal values. Sometimes a situation will be so unusual that it will call for a more creative approach to decision making than just following a series of steps. And for some situations, the decision doesn’t have to be perfect—there are times when a decision that’s good enough is all that is needed.

DIVERSITY AND INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES Employees within an organization have different skill sets, levels (and types) of intelligence, and personality traits. Managers who want to hire the best people for the job and keep them happy need to keep this in mind. Few people are two-dimensional enough to fit neatly into any one category, but by having an idea of where employees function best, managers can provide them with the right job and the best tools and incentives for getting the job done. When measuring intelligence, remember that different types of intelligence work better for certain jobs. Moreover, intelligence isn’t the only quality that matters. People who do manual labor need to be smart enough to do the job right, but they also need physical strength and high energy levels. Objective qualities—such as age and gender—may have some influence, but in general, they can only serve to guide rather than be deciding factors. Employees with a good attitude are more productive and more cooperative than those with a poor attitude. When employees display attitude problems, it is wise to explore possible reasons and determine ways to improve behavior. Often, the issue is that the employee doesn’t feel fulfilled by the job. Behavior can be modified by the proper stimulus, such as a reward for good work. Personality is also a factor in the workplace; sometimes, personality assessments can help guide employers and help them motivate employees more effectively. Understanding and addressing all aspects of employee behavior can lead to reduced turnover and higher job satisfaction.

EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION IN HEALTHCARE
EFFECTIVE PROJECT EXECUTION AND CONTROL (SIMULCAST)
Effective Communication in Healthcare is a micro course that provides an understanding of how to communicate effectively and efficiently within a healthcare setting.

Key concepts such as the best alternative to no agreement, reservation price, and the zone of possible agreement can help when conducting negotiations. Since power is a fundamental dynamic in negotiations, it is important for negotiators to have a basic understanding of ways they can exert and also gain power in a discussion.
EFFECTIVE PRESENTATIONS The ability to communicate clearly and effectively is increasingly important in organizational settings. This course helps learners organize, structure, and create effective presentations. Since many organizations use PowerPoint as a way of communicating information, this course offers advice and guidance on the most effective and persuasive uses of PowerPoint.
EFFECTIVE PROFESSIONAL COMMUNICATIONS Look at the world’s top businesses. What do they have in common? While each one may provide an incredible product or service, if you dig a little deeper, you’ll likely find it’s led by an extremely effective communicator. This person knows that a company needs more than just a great idea, product, or service to succeed in a global market. It needs a leader who communicates a clear message to customers about that service, and to fellow executives and employees about how that service should best be delivered. Businesses today value effective, ethical communicators who can represent the company at all times. With more businesses knocking down the walls between offices, and connecting remote branches with instant messaging and video-conferencing, a business leader could very well be visible to everyone at every moment. Poor communication with your co-workers is a fact that is itself effectively communicated through their body language. If you have a bad impression of a company, chances are it’s because you had a poor experience with its customer support, maybe just one person. Online knowledge bases, automated help lines, chat rooms, self-service kiosks, and teleconference channels give companies many options for customer service and support. Today, many of these same technologies help businesses maintain contacts with clients and manufacturers, track packages, and manage inventory. Whether you’re communicating through technology or face-to-face, the statement you make on behalf of your business should be effective, ethical, and barrier-free.

ENHANCING TEAM EFFECTIVENESS Setting specific team goals is critical to team success, because improving team performance is much more complex than improving the job performance of a sole worker. Organizations can take actions that ensure that team goals result in superior team performance, such as setting stretch goals and selecting the right people to work on the team. Team training is an important element of team effectiveness, because skills developed working alone may not be enough for the team environment. Lastly, to have effective teams, companies need to have the right compensation plan that rewards team performance while meeting each individual’s need to be recognized and rewarded. Having work teams in an organization, by itself, does not ensure that teams will be productive. Team effectiveness is improved when teams have clear goals, when the right people are placed on the teams, when these people are well-trained, and when compensation is appropriately given. This course discusses how to enhance team effectiveness.

You should become comfortable with identifying the types of emergencies that require simple first aid versus those that require the intervention of medical professionals. Even when accidents and disasters cannot be prevented, being prepared will help you make good decisions during stressful times. Health policies define what to do to prevent the spread of infection and promote a healthy environment when caring for children. In managing the classroom or childcare setting, caregivers should work with parents to recognize and manage illness. Communicable diseases can spread quickly throughout a group of children who may not be aware of or skilled in preventive practices, such as hand washing. As a caregiver, you will need to both teach and reinforce practices that prevent the spread of communicable disease.

Inventory is the amount and number of raw materials, parts, and finished products that an organization has in its possession at any given time. Four kinds of inventory are kept by companies: raw materials, component parts, work-in-process inventories, and finished goods. Uncontrolled inventory can lead to huge costs for a company, so managers need to measure their inventory well to prevent inventory costs from becoming too large.

PROFESSIONALISM IN HEALTHCARE In most industries, an individual’s professionalism is measured by the extent to which they are trustworthy, reliable and can be counted on to follow through on their commitments. More than that however, professionalism in today’s workplace requires an element of self-confidence, self-motivation and the overall understanding and adherence to the norms and expectations of professional environments on the whole. In the healthcare setting, however, the qualities that constitute professionalism are even more important and require additional considerations over and above typical work environments. Healthcare providers require emotionally mature people to manage and operate their practice and demand that their staff behave professionally at all times. Moreover, an individual’s commitment to professionalism will command the respect and credibility required for success in a healthcare career. Given the inherent nature and seriousness of the healthcare industry, it is expected that healthcare professionals maintain the utmost integrity and professionalism in dealing with patients, properly maintaining privacy standards and convey information to patients/clients in a way that is not only professional, but compassionate, understanding and, above all, informative. Healthcare professionals communicate important and complex information not only to fellow staff but to patients as well on a daily basis and must take into account the serious nature of the work they do and its effect on individual patients, families and other stakeholders. The Professionalism in Healthcare course provides students with a primer on professionalism in this unique industry. The course will address various elements inherent in professionalism to ensure students are ready to enter the professional workplace including etiquette, image, manners, communication (verbal, non-verbal and written), professional relationships, responsibility and accountability, respectfulness, privacy considerations and requirements as well as empathy, compassion and emotional maturity specific to the healthcare setting.
