Course Outcome
- Identify and analyze the principles and skills in
financial management of the administrative aspects of human and social
services delivery system.
Directions
This week you will create a PowerPoint with voiceover
presentation in which you identify, explain, and analyze some of the important
aspects of finance and funding for programs in the field of human and social
services.
As you work on your presentation, imagine you are employed
as a Human Services Specialist for your state’s Department of Children and
Families (or a similar agency). As part
of your job, you conduct interviews and in-person observations of programs and
services to identify possible areas for improvement. You also help to prepare materials and train
other employees on procedure and protocol.
Finally, you develop new programs based on identified gaps and the needs
of the members of your community. In
some of your work, recently, you have realized that many other employees are
unaware of the intricacies of funding human and social services programs and
thus may not be taking full advantage of some of the possible options to
financially support their programs or they may be mismanaging money allocated
to their program(s). As a result, you
have decided to create a PowerPoint with voiceover presentation to brief the
employees in your office.
Your presentation should be at least 10 slides total
(including your title, introduction, conclusion, and reference slides). To
conduct research for your presentation, you may utilize the course lectures,
the Internet, and the Bryant & Stratton College Virtual Library. More specific information on what to include
in your presentation is outlined below.
