Creative Work

Take a look at some of my projects that showcase instructional design, eLearning, and project management

 

Career Portfolio Project

First developed in 1996 as a way to help people document their skills, improve the job search, and help employers measure and assess skills, the Career Portfolio line of products has grown to include four books, three workbooks and a detailed course curriculum. Now in it’s 4th edition, the Creating Your Career Portfolio At-A-Glance Guide helps people take charge of their own careers.

Workforce Learning Project

It started with the need for a book designed for helping immigrants in the hospitality industry understand the American workplace. We transitioned it to an entry level workforce book, and then it morphed into Workforce Pamphlet Series. Six series of targeted 4-page pamphlets designed to meet a specific need. Now transition to an e-platform.
