The research team is currently in the process of launching the workforce development institute through delivering training courses/programs to working professionals in Region 10. Specifically, the research team will focus on the following tasks:
• Adding new courses/certificate programs and improving the existing education platform. The research team will develop an online training platform and include new training courses and certificate programs that cover more topics with critical training needs. In addition, the research team will integrate previous education research products into the education platform and evaluate various methods (on-site, e-learning, hybrid, etc.) for the delivery of training services.
• Improving assessment and evaluation processes for training courses and the overall program of the PacTrans WDI. The research team proposes to develop a guidebook including course development processes with carefully designed learning outcomes and associated learning activities, active learning strategies, reliable assessment and evaluation processes of learning, and overall program and course evaluation.
• Outreach and marketing plan of the PacTrans WDI. In order to make the institute sustainable, the research team proposes to develop the effective outreach and marketing plan.
