Human Services Research Institute Work Values

Daily Duties at Human Services Research Institute:

What Was I Hired To Do: I was hired to transform and translate very complicated data-driven products into compelling, user-friendly, accessible training materials for SAMSHA’s project officers so they could determine whether their grantees were meeting the federal government’s compliance guidelines. Tasks • Conducted training needs assessments and developed effective training concepts and solutions. • Consulted with internal and external stakeholders (managers, clients, SMEs) to identify learning needs and to ensure course content, training methodologies, and training materials meet those needs. • Using the ADDIE approach, designed 10-14 classroom-based trainings per year for each of SAMHSA’s five departments, including customized storyboards, trainer’s guides, participant workbooks, training tools, handouts, and other training collateral. • Met with trainers and SME’s on final products to ensure consistent training delivery and quality control. • Worked with SME’s to develop and host E-learning courses, webinars, & powerpoint presentations for conferences. Hosted regular GotoMeeting sessions with external contractors and vendors for joint-venture training collaborations. • Developed and administered tools to measure effectiveness of training programs. Made recommendations based on these measurements to improve quality of training programs. • Managed training production schedules and budgets. • Applied for and secured CEU’s from MAPPA (Maryland Association of Prevention Professionals) for the first time.

What they like about Human Services Research Institute:

You give high priority to hiring firms with prestige. Market reputation and prestige of a firm may be determined through on-line research, and conversations with individuals working in your target industry. Note that firms "in the public eye" receive a great deal more critical publicity and attention than those operating with more anonymity. So as you assess your employment opportunities, be sure to seek out the positive aspects of the firm's reputation in addition to noting negative publicity the company may have received.
