The first step during the orientation is completing the intake interview. This interview provides staff with information about the client so that each individual recieves the correct services. In my case that is employment skills training and also career training so that I can obtain my first position in the field of finance. I also commit to my workshop time for the training cycle. I will attend the Employment Prepartion Training workshop in the afternoon so I can maintain my morning hours at The Heartland Institute.
The four week workshop will help me learn and evaluate how I see the world, communication skills, apply it to employment, and practice interviewing. Clients are only allowed to miss two days and after the third they must make it up the next training cycle before the graduate. Arriving 30 minutes late or leaving 30-plus minutes early counts as an absence. Arrive before the workshop begins or you are late. The rules teach clients to treat the workshhop like a job.
After graduating from the workshop I will discuss my career and educational goals with a Career Services Adviser. This person can assist me in obtaing the WIA grant to get the training I need to get the job I would like to have.

- My educational goal is to earn a joint MBA/MPA or MS
