Overview
Question 1
We covered a number of important concepts related to Industrial and Hazardous Waste Management. For this assignment, you are asked to create a PowerPoint Presentation that presents an overview of these main concepts to present at a webinar for a fictitious not-for-profit organization that promotes industrial process pollution prevention across the United States, focusing on industry and community management of hazardous waste. You have agreed to help them. Please create a presentation of at least 10 slides that cover the following main topics below.
- Describe attributes of hazardous and solid waste, including the four characteristics that render a solid waste hazardous.
- Explain the impact of toxic substances on human populations.
- Identify laws to reduce impacts of environmental hazards on human populations.
- Summarize the development of solid waste regulation in the U.S., including RCRA and its amendments, CERCLA, Clean Water Act, Pollution Prevention Act, and the Safe Drinking Water Act.
- Describe the Hazardous Waste Identification Process, as put forth by EPA.
- The role of risk assessment in building partnerships between industry and the public, regarding industrial waste.
The slide count does not include the title slide or the reference slides. Your slides should utilize bullet points. Do not include full paragraphs of written text as this is not conducive to a good presentation. Please use the slide notes function on the slides to add supplementary notes and information that you would use to aid you in your presentation.
You must use at least two sources to support your presentation, one of which must come from the CSU Online Library. Adhere to APA Style when creating citations and references for this assignment.
Question 2
Imagine you are the lead trainer for a global organization, and you are ready for the next step in your career. Through data analytics and observations, you have noticed that employees across the organization do not share their knowledge with one another, whether it be from skills training they recently completed to general knowledge that could enhance the capabilities of the organization. This is a big issue for your organization. The chief executive officer (CEO) and the chief human resources officer (CHRO) have asked you to come up with solutions to address the issue. You see this as a potential opportunity for growth in your career. You have decided to come up with some solutions to address the issue. If the leadership is impressed with your presentation, it could mean a promotion for you.
Create a PowerPoint presentation based on a fictitious company name and location (or use your current company). You will need to make your solutions specific to this company. In the introduction, give the company name and location and some brief background information about the company and industry. Feel free to choose any industry (e.g., technology, manufacturing, advertising, or your current industry) that interests you, and add any details that you think are necessary.
Within your PowerPoint presentation, provide the information below.
- Give three reasons as to why employees do not share knowledge.
- Give three solutions that your organization can incorporate to encourage knowledge sharing among employees.
- Outline a plan for professional training and development related to your career and include how you plan to be committed and intentional about knowledge sharing (e.g., job rotation, cross training, mentoring, etc.).
The PowerPoint presentation must be at least 10 slides in length, not counting the title and reference slides. Each slide must contain speaker notes. Each speaker note should be at least one paragraph containing 5-10 sentences.
At least two images or graphics should be used in your presentation. You are required to use at least one academic or peer-reviewed source to support your presentation. All sources used must be cited and referenced according to APA guidelines.
