Project Abstract

PREFACE

   Welcome to our Office Simulation class.  First and foremost, my teaching philosophy is grounded on the fact that our class syllabus is our "learning contract."

   The final design and creation of this Office Simulation training curriculum were based on the actual experiences of your instructor while studying at the UW Graduate School of Public Affairs, College of Ocean and Fishery Sciences and Business School, SVI Business Computer Program, and South Seattle Community College Occupational Teacher/Trainer Education Program. This was developed in combination with his more than 30 years of experience working as a Trainer, Project Leader and Site Manager both here in the U.S. and abroad, planning and  implementing foreign-funded programs and projects, including his internship at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, professional affiliations in the U.S. as a Hubert H. Humphrey Fellow, and as an instructor here at SVI since 1993 to the present.

   He has been teaching Office Simulation since 1997 to date for the Seattle Vocational Institute and Seattle Jobs Initiative   Administrative Office Professional and Office Technician students, respectively. The intructor's learnings, insights, and experiences and his students' feedback in every class have been thoroughly documented by the author for instructional purposes, or as a training manual for the benefit of the succeeding group of students.

     You are to work into five groups of business entrepreneurs,  creating and managing your own company, headquartered in Seattle.  Working as a team of four members composed of a Manager, Administrative Officer, Human Resources Officer, and Payroll Officer, using your company's products and/or services, and adhering to your mission statement, you will be simulating the conduct of the daily activities in an office environment. 

    Daily Briefing and Pointers from the Instructor/Coordinator

 The required tasks may include, but not limited to completing a wide range of standard business tasks, such as creating, formatting and editing documents, creating and performing calculations of time cards and payroll worksheets, conducting meetings, and managing the team. You are all encouraged to complete more complex business computer applications.

     Specific guidelines will be given through a series of memoranda, in addition to any verbal instructions given each day to the class.

     I expect to have your respective team organized into a simulated company and its Employee Policy Handbook completed by the end of the quarter (refer to SJI Office Simulation  and Members Weekly Schedule page).  Since I am your instructor and also your business consultant, we plan on using this site to share plans, pictures of our progress, and useful hints.
