Work Force Skills

The Workforce Skills class is a one-week, 15-hour course that meets three hours a day for five days to address three key issues: work ethics, communication skills, and lifestyle management. Based on Department of Labor and Montana Job Training Partnership research, we selected the work ethics issues that local employers indicated are most important to them, including appearance, attendance, attitude, work safety, reliability, responsibility, and flexibility. The communication skills section of the course covers assertive communication, positive statements, body language, business manners, and conflict resolution, as well as responsible communication. The course's lifestyle management component includes time management skills, making back-up plans, managing personal and health issues, talking to employers about personal and health problems, and working through a life crisis. The class includes scored activities and daily assessments. Those students who achieve a score of 80% or higher on the competency standards receive a Workforce Skills Certificate.

Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT) and Anger Management

COR Enterprises offers courses in both MRT and Anger Management for participants who may benefit from such instruction. Each course may be taken either in a group classroom setting or individually with a facilitator. MRT instruction is a 1-2 week course involving 32 hours of instruction and hands on activity. The Anger Management course involves 8-12 hours of time spread out over a 1-2 week timeframe. The length of time needed for completion depends on the amount of effort a participant makes to complete the exercises, as well as on how truthful he or she is to self, the group (in group sessions), and the facilitator.

Both courses are designed to enhance the participant’s self-image, facilitate the development of higher levels of moral reasoning, and produce a greater sense of life purpose. Reconation is a process of altering the way an individual makes decisions. The techniques taught in the MRT course include coping skills that enable individuals to deal with conflict and with feelings of anger in adaptive ways, with the ultimate goal of better decision-making. The Anger Management course, while not as advanced as the MRT course, covers many of the same concepts. Once a participant has successfully completed either course, he or she begins to make decisions based on higher levels of moral reasoning by focusing on personal belief systems and on behavioral choices. This is a process of self-discovery and self-mastery.
