This assignment will require you to access a case study to work from. To access the case study, please click this sentence as it is linked to the case study. After reading the case study, use the information from it to help complete the assignment detailed below.
Identify 3 local* agencies that would approach this client from the perspective of 3 different areas we focused on this semester such as intellectual/developmental disabilities, alcohol & drug abuse, child/adolescent/family treatment, sexuality, depression/suicide/loss & grief. [*local is defined by a location within a 15 mile radius of the Lowell and/or Bedford campuses] If you worked at the agencies identified, what aspects would you focus on in this case? Remember, they are looking at the case from their own perspective which differs from the other 2, etc. So a medical facility would be looking at this differently than a tutoring center, right? Keep the agency perspective in your writing.
What additional information would you want to know about this client (and why)? How would you begin to assist the client? Support your writing.
What types of services would the agencies identified provide? How do the 3 agencies identified differ in services provided given their differing perspectives and approaches?
What does research show are evidenced-based, best practices when working with the client from each perspective identified? (i.e. intellectual/developmental disabilities, alcohol & drug abuse, child/adolescent/family treatment, sexuality, depression/suicide/loss & grief)
Using the SAMHSA Peer Support Compencies Category VI: Links to Resources, Services, and Supports, what is one referral you would want to make for this client outside of the 3 agencies you’ve identified? Clearly support your referral and provide the types of information/assitance you would wish to obtain with this identified referral that you could not from the 3 agencies you identified. How can you, the worker, assist in being actively involved with this client/family?
Your paper should be supported with research and sources using APA format. You do not need to include a running header or an abstract. I’m only looking for your citations and references to be done in APA format. Your research should include at least 5 primary sources, such as professional, peer-reviewed journal articles from the library’s research databases. Your assignment should be between 7-10 pages, double spaced (2100 – 3000 words) not including your title page or reference page.

This content analysis paper will be about the migration that happened in Albania after the communism fell in 1990. How Albanians fled to Italy by boats, how mamy left their lives at sea? All that period when they migrated in Italy their struggles, how the state welcomed them ? Mention real life examples at that time .  Research about that period.
In this project, you will use the method of “content analysis” to research some aspect of migration.Note that this paper will be scanned using anti-plagiarism and anti-AI software.
This paper should:
Include a title and abstract (roughly 150 words, summarizing the main ideas of your paper)
Be 3,500 to 4,000 words, not including the title page/abstract or references. This is about 10-12 pages, double spaced.
Include the important sections of a research paper:
An introduction (about 1 or 1.5 pages that gives us your main ideas/argument and “plan” for the paper)
Literature review/background context
Methodology (what you did and why/how)
Research findings
Discussion (what does this all tell us?)
Conclusions (final summary and next steps/recommendations)
Have in-text citations and a corresponding reference list. Use APA style but don’t worry about being perfect; what is most important is that outside information is cited. You can also see sample student papers at Righting Wrongs and follow their style.
If you include any photos or graphics from outside sources, make sure to cite them. If they are photos you took or graphics you created using your own data, you do not need a citation. (If you create a graphic using someone else’s data, cite the data source.)

Instructions
Approach your HR department — or your manager — to arrange a short informational interview with a mid-level or senior professional in your workplace (half an hour or less). If you cannot make this happen in the timeframe required, you may instead interview a business professional whom you know outside of your current workplace.
Questions for the Interview
You will prepare for the interview by selecting three of the questions provided below and creating two questions of your own. Your overall set of five questions should relate to at least two of the following HR topic areas: hiring, onboarding, and performance review.
Select three of the below questions:
What 2 or 3 key competencies do you seek in job candidates? Why are these competencies at the top of your list?
When would you hire externally and when would you promote internally to fill gaps in your team?
How useful are references to you in assessing job candidates?
How do you onboard new members of your team or department?
What performance review process does your organization use? How effective is it?
I HAVE CHOSEN THE QUESTIONS:
What 2 or 3 key competencies are you looking for in job candidates? Why are these at the top of your list?
This would depend on the job we are hiring for, but for most hourly roles we are looking at what their previous experience and if its relevant to the job they have applied for.  How much of that experience they have and how much diversity in the field.  This is at the top because in most roles required at least basic knowledge of the job.  We would also try and assess their ability to work both in a team and individually in a professional and effective manner.  No matter what role, being able to work with fellow employees in a professional manner is always important.  Another important aspect would be reliability.  We would try and assess for reliability of a candidate when it comes to being at work, being there one time, completing their work and completing it on time, can you give them directions/instructions and know they will complete it or ask for help when needed.  This is important no matter what role or skill set, in a lot of roles skills for completing the work can be trained and taught, but it does not matter how experienced and competent an employee is in their work if they aren’t there or are not completing their work. 
When do you hire externally and when do you hire to promote internally to fill your team? 
We strive to promote from within whenever possible.  We always post open roles internally and allow current employees to apply.  There are some roles that are easy to fill internally and some that are not.  If the role is a highly specialized role then we may immediately start with an external post.  All external post are also posted internally for all employees across the company to see on the careers website.  Some roles such as HR and Finance may not be considered for internal promotions due to their sensitive nature, but overall we would prefer to promote our employees.  Not only do we want to offer growth to your current employees, but they are starting off with more knowledge about our products and business than someone new.  
How do you onboard new members of your team or department?
Our onboarding process starts with electronic onboarding requirements such as I9 employment verification and some basic employee information being entered into the HRIS system to get their employee profile created.  Once they arrive for their first day we require all employees to attend safety orientation with our safety team.  After orientation HR does employment verification (only with direct hires) and gathers required documentation.  HR goes over basic HR policies in orientation.  If it’s a role that required laptop, access etc. then we issue the laptop and get them familiar with the software and accesses.   The employee then is dismissed to their supervisor/manager and beings training, some areas go straight to the training area and some do on the job training from the start.  Through the process of their first 90 days they get a new hire survey and a 60 day review then a 90 day review.
