THE “POWER” OF “PROGRESSIVE REVELATION”.
Part 3 of a series
Implementing a plan of action
First thing first
I do not want to offend you, or come across as being unnecessarily
religious by recommending that the first item in an action plan needs to
involve a look in the spiritual mirror, and the acknowledgment of who you are
in the eyes of the creator. God is not a respecter of persons, so he esteems
your value as being equal to mine, or anyone else that you might know or name.
The true question then is, “Who you are willing to become?”.
That my friends initiate a process. You must first define where you are now.
Not physically, or geographically, but spiritually. If you were to die before
you have the opportunity to make any more plans, where would you spend the
rest of your life?
That is a question that only you can answer, and that answer is based
purely and singularly on the basis of how you deal with the question, “What
will you do with Jesus?”
That is the most crucial question that you will ever have to deal with because it is the only question in your entire life that cannot be made by
someone else. Others can advise you on this matter, they may plead with you,
they may even badger and pressure you into making a decision. The fact of the
matter is, you and you alone can make that decision. Every other decision you
make for the rest of your life may be legitimately influenced by others.
I truly pray that you are willing to say at this point, “I am sick
and tired of being sick and tired of my current status, and with God’s help I
want to change it”.
Let me assure you that is the right place to start. And, when you make
that commitment, God will use His Spirit, His Word, and His People, to guide
you.
The next step is to decide where your interests are.
The most effective and efficient
means of determining what is available, and what interests you have, go to a
computer or visit a library an ask for assistance visiting
If you visit this site near the top
left of the home screen you will find the words FIND OCCUPATIONS. Near
the bottom of that box is a window with the words BRIGHT OUTLOOK and a
down arrow. Clicking on the down arrow opens a window with seven
options.
Midway down the list, find the
word INDUSTRY. Click on the INDUSTRY and it will move up into the
original window. This time, click on the arrow to the right.
This opens a new window with ACCOMMODATION
AND FOOD SERVICES and a GO box to the right. Click on GO, and go to
work.
At this point, you will be
viewing a list of Industrial occupations. To the left of the title is the
Department of Labor code for that occupation. To the left of that is an
indication of the percentage of those holding this credential hired.
Click on the drop arrow again and
then sort down to MANUFACTURING, and hit GO. Select one of these
or any other title that interests you.

The two titles above were
selected to show the basic information available. The code on the left is the
occupational sort code. The title is the occupational range, and the number on
the right is the forecast for job needs in the next few years.
We clicked on the second title
because of the projected need in the near future. The display following that is
the “Knowledge Expectations” for that title. Study those topics and you will
have a good grasp of what the training would perfect over the period of
4-years.
You can select any one of more
than 50 titles in the manufacturing category. If you seek another industry, go
back one step, and select another category.
If none of
these interests you, the site offers the same type of information on 13,000 job
titles.
Using Evidence-Based, Time-Proven resources
At this point, you are ready for coaching. From this point forward, you
may want to rely heavily on the expertise of those than have gone before you,
the industry calls them Subject Matter Experts (SMEs).
But the process involves
Assessment; but insist that any assessment is backed up by a curriculum
that deals with every category of testing.
Gap analysis, to compare your needs to a target score, against a job,
craft, trade standard that aligns with your interests.
Related instruction (RTI) – studies that the onet describe for the job
title of your interests.
Standards-Based Work Experience (OJT) – to be arranged with an employer
when you have mastered the schedule and remediated basic skill needs to
qualify for employment.
AIMTRAIN IS HERE TO HELP. Till then, be blessed. Mel
