Sorry, G-Man... this is what you might consider an RKMBs 'exclusive', that graphic above being an iPhone pic taken from right off of my work 'puter. However, I will search the National Veterans Training Institutes website (off of the U of Denver's website) to see if they've uploaded any of this stuff.

This stuff is supposed to be rolled out as part of a pilot program running through most of this Spring and Summer. The entire curriculum smacks of touchie-feelie nonsense that does fuck-all towards helping anyone get a job. Again, these aren't my sole opinions.

One module talks about developing a resume with the sole intent of posting it on a site like Monster.com and hoping that someone plucks your name out of the brazillions of resumes posted online, instead of going out and shopping around your own resume... you know... being proactive looking for a job. Go figure. Why look on your own when you can suckle off of the teat?

There's a section devoted to 'the 21st Century Job Market' (Module 9) where they discuss developing basic business acumen, and one of the bits of advice is (from page 9-24):

1. Read business publications and watch business channels. Doing this can provide you with current information about business trends, markets or economic factors affecting various business and industries. Some of these include: the Wall Street Journal, Business Week, the Harvard Business Review, MSNBC and CNN. Also, the technical and professional publications from your field of interest are good resources.


MSNBC and CNN? Neither of which are 'business channels', they are news sources (with the occasional, weekend morning business segments/shows). And if you're going to name news sources, the conspicuous absence of FOX News is noted. As for actual business channels, what about CNBC... Bloomberg... or even >gasp< FOX Business Channel?
