(a) Executive Summary- a synopsis of the purpose, main findings and
outcome.
Keep this as short as possible.
(b) Introduction- Background to the situation, including a history of the property and who the owners are. Also include the purpose and scope of the work term.
(c) Main Body- Identify a problem in the organization, define the
problem, outline information, suggest alternative ways to correct the
problem and choose the best solution to the problem, giving a
rationale for your choice.
(d) Conclusion- This section will contain personal observations about your work-term. Evaluate and explain in detail the relevancy of your co-operative education to your College education and current career objectives. Examine how this experience has affected your attitudes toward yourself, toward others and what strengths and weaknesses you have discovered in yourself. Explain some of the things that you have learned about people, their attitudes toward work, and how you relate to co-workers and supervisors.
(e) Appendix – This includes answers to all the questions as outlined in the training goals section of the hand-out.

Grading of the Oral Work Term Verbal Report



The oral presentation will be scheduled upon your return to the campus. The presentation should be a minimum of 20 minutes in length. Visual aids (posters, photos, videos or overheads) may be used for enhancement. The evaluation of the talk will be based on your communication skills, personal attributes, and content. We request that students attempt to bring back a public relations photo of their property so we may post them for all students to see.

Where more than one student is working at a property a team presentation is encouraged on the following schedule
1 Student 20 Minutes
2 Students 20 Minutes
3 Students 30 minutes

Guideline(s)
• If a video is used it should be no longer than 8 minutes
• Overview of property Could be part of video
• Outline the details of the Operation (Rooms, F & B etc…) Could be part of the video
• Outline of Job (description ) No more than 2 minutes
• Critical events
• SWOT analysis
