Associate Degree: I Was Hired after My Apprenticeship

associate degreeBy Miranda Hazen, an American student from Los Angeles, California on the associate degree program at the Hubbard College of Administration (HCA), Los Angeles, CA.

I have had some great results from doing courses and apprenticeships here at the Hubbard College of Administration. Recently, I did a “Marketing and Public Relations Surveys” apprenticeship at a cosmetics and skincare salon. I went to the business and got information on a certain product that needed to be surveyed in order to promote it successfully. I conducted surveys on the correct public for this product and got great results!

The business owner was very pleased with the work I did for her. She even offered to hire me to do more surveys for her! This really proves that this administrative technology works and that it is extremely valuable.  In addition, she hired me to help her at a Healthy Living Expo last weekend, which was a lot of fun and a great experience!

These offers made me realize that I have such an advantage especially in this stressful time where the economy is doing poorly and a lot of people are having a hard time getting jobs. I wasn’t even looking for a job, and it just fell into my lap because of this data I now know and can use.

I highly recommend that anybody who wants to be successful with their job or business get this administrative technology and apply it.

Associate Degree: Why Policy?

Associate degreeI am Felipé Pedrosa, a Brazilian student from Manaus, on the associate degree program at the Hubbard College of Administration (HCA), Los Angeles, CA.

I have just completed the “How to Write Effective Company Policy” course. Like the others courses I have done here at the Hubbard College of Administration, not surprisingly, this is a great and vital course for any executive.

After completing this course, I realized the chief importance of policy in a business.  Policy, once derived, guides actions and assures predictable results.

The understanding I had regarding policy was incomplete.  I thought that policy was a rule that everyone had to follow in an organization, company, government, etc. This is not totally wrong, though is not totally right either.  I discovered that policy is not only about a rule that has to be followed nor only about the result one can get. Policy is a principle which management evolves and issues for specific activities or projects in a company. Policy is a codification of successful actions to be continued and injunctions against the performance of unsuccessful actions thereby enhancing the stability and viability of a company.

After gaining my new perspective on policy, when I look at my business, I can clearly see that many problems are the result of missing policy. These problems could have been handled or avoided, if management had created policies specifically for that action. Policy creation is the responsibility of top executives, who are responsible for the performance of the enterprise as a whole.  Policy handles expansion. Expansion achieves viability and the ability to have a better exchange with a company’s public, culminating in a better bottom line as well.

Lastly, I learned where policy fits in in relation to purpose and product.  Policy, to be truly effective, must align with the purpose and the valuable final product (or service) of the company.  They (purpose, policy, and product/service) all must agree.  Of these three, purpose is senior.

With the data I acquired in the “How to Write Effective Company Policy” course and with my new viewpoint, I can clearly see flaws, successful actions, problems and other situations in my company that this data will help me solve effectively.

Associate Degree: Policy Is the Basis of Executive Action

Associate degreeBy Brittany Seymour, an American student from Los Angeles, California on the Associate Degree Program at the Hubbard College of Administration (HCA), Los Angeles, CA.

I really enjoyed doing the “How to Write Effective Company Policy” course.  I was able to see the importance of having policies when working in any company or organization.  Without policies “consistent across the organization” orders cannot be issued or implemented.  In many companies, there is insufficient breadth of policy set to provide executives and managers with a common basis from which to work.  Personally, I have experienced having no policies from which to work in a particular activity, and it makes it quite difficult to issue orders that won’t, in some way, create a clash with another part of the company.  I am excited to be able to use this data in my work, and I can totally see as a young executive how it is going to help my career.

Associate Degree: How to Handle Confusion in the Workplace

Associate degreeBy Gloria Liu, a Taiwanese student from Taipei on the associate degree program at the Hubbard College of Administration (HCA), Los Angeles, CA.

I just completed the “How to Effectively Handle Work” apprenticeship. This was a really good apprenticeship because I actually experienced handling someone who had confusions at their work, who had incomplete cycles of actions (tasks not completed), who was not in control of the tools or equipment they used on a daily basis.

At the beginning of handling the confusion, I, as well as the person I was helping, felt slightly overwhelmed. However, once we found and adopted a stable datum and, subsequently, worked out the handling using that stable datum as a referral point, the confusion disappeared. The situation turned out to be simple actually. It was an amazing experience to see the confusion disappear. From this experience, I am certain that everyone has the potential to handle confusion. One does not need to be a Ph.D. to sort out the confusion or to bring about order.

Applying the administrative technology of completing a cycle of action was not that hard to apply either. To complete a cycle of action, all one needs to do is start an action, do the action until the desired result is achieved, and then stop. It is as simple as that: start, change, and stop. That’s it.

From this apprenticeship, I gained experience handling confusion. I discovered for myself more ways to discern and adopt a stable datum for confusion and with that came my ability to create more solutions to handle the situation. I liked this apprenticeship a lot.

Associate Degree: Business Cycles and Financial Planning

associate degreeI am Felipé Pedrosa, a Brazilian student from Manaus, on the associate degree program at the Hubbard College of Administration (HCA), Los Angeles, CA.

The “How to Increase Profits through Proper Financial Planning” course was long; however, one of the most important courses I have done here at the Hubbard College of Administration. The course showed me solutions to problems I couldn’t see before:  How to handle the equipment (assets) of the company, how to handle the company and its staff in a time of crisis, how to structure a financial system that controls both out go of funds and income to a point where solvency and viability can exist constantly are a few examples of what I can now handle effectively. There is much more in this course that has helped me see vividly how financial planning works.

After completing this course, I can really see what is happening to the world economy and how we could solve the crisis or help get the economy back up again.  I learned in this course that “MONEY IS AN IDEA BACKED BY CONFIDENCE.” Furthermore, that many contemporary economists spread the idea that there isn’t money in the market doesn’t help but degrades the situation even more and creates panic throughout the population. If there isn’t money in the market, one must motivate the citizens to increase their production–not by spreading negative news. In terms of companies, they have to promote, which is the opposite of what big corporations do in troubled times.  If there is an internal or external financial crisis, one must begin with produce/promote, then carry through with surveying, marketing, and sales and finally deliver the service or product.  This gets a company or a country back on track again.  This is the cycle.

The course presented parts of the financial planning world that I was not familiar with. This is fantastic. I am confident that once these data are applied in an apprenticeship and grooved in, I will be able to apply them in my company creating solvency and viability and improvement in the company’s ability to exchange with its customers, yielding an abundance of commercial expansion.

Associate Degree: Public Relations Is about Telling the Truth

Associate degreeBy Damiano Shehu, an Albanian student from Tirana on the associate degree program at the Hubbard College of Administration (HCA), Los Angeles, CA.

I just recently completed the “Public Relations” course. This course was really great because I realized that everyone in this world deals with people at least a couple of times a day. Thus it is extremely crucial that one knows the Public Relations (PR) Technology to help facilitate relations with people.

I always thought that PR was pretending to be someone you’re not in order to impress people or lying to make you or your company appear better. From this course, I learned that one never lies in PR. PR has been improperly used in contemporary society. It is used for forwarding lies, creating war and supporting vested interests.  We call that black PR.  On the other hand, “white PR” is public relations that forwards pro-survival actions and products.

I really enjoyed this course. I think that every individual that works with people needs to have this data. The only way for an organization, business or individual to expand is by maintaining a friendly relation with their public and environment. PR contains the technology that achieves this.

Career Education Can Be a Life Education

career educationBy Joseph Moreno from San Antonio, Texas on the continuing education program at the Hubbard College of Administration (HCA), Los Angeles, CA.

During my time here at Hubbard College of Administration, I found that the material learned for my career education could not only be helpful in an organization but also in your own life. I took the “Company Basics 2” course and that made me more aware of how an organization should run. In addition, I learned how to spot and handle all the types of unnecessary work that arises. Most importantly, I learned how to keep the company in a healthy operating state through the use of specific action formulas.

I anticipate that knowing and applying this administrative technology will empower me to help the organization I am with. Specifically, my current company will be moving to a much larger facility and will definitely need what I learned in order to continue its expansion. For instance, I realized that while our organization is usually in a healthy operating state there are subtle details in maintaining and building that optimum state that I will recommend be implemented upon my return.

Another course was of great value to me.  From the “How to Get Along with Others” course, I gained the ability to communicate with much more ease. This will help my organization because our planned expansion is going to require much more communication, within the company to the staff and with our clients.  Furthermore, communication is crucial in handling any kind of problem that may arise. Besides in the office, I have already found this material helpful with my family and friends, and I anticipate its usefulness in any human encounter in the future.

Associate Degree in Applied Management Science: Efficiency

associate degreeBy Josh Lin, a Taiwanese student from Taichung on the associate degree program at the Hubbard College of Administration (HCA), Los Angeles, CA.

From the “How to Increase Efficiency in Your Company” course I’ve learned a lot of senior data which show the real reason for inefficiency. For instance, some people work all day long but end up at the end of the day with no product. Logically, there must be some “bug” in their activity.

What any employee really wants is to have time to really work on his or her assigned job. But, because of some “apparently needed works,” which are at best “nice to be dones,” he or she can’t handle the “must be dones.” Those “apparently needed works” are the real reasons that cause inefficiency, resulting in an employee not having a product by the end of the day.  So, the bugs are all those non-essential actions, which crowd out the essential actions that lead to products.

This course revealed those deadly bugs and detailed how to handle them, resulting in increased efficiency. That means, everyone does his or her job by knowing what needs to be done and does not develop any unnecessary work for himself or herself or other staff members.  Production goes up. The business expands, resulting in affluence and prosperity!

Career Education: Personal Integrity Success Story

Career educationBy Bryant Brackett, an American student at the Hubbard College of Administration (HCA), Los Angeles, CA.

This course for my career education was extremely helpful to me. Before taking the “Personal Integrity” course , I had a lot of hidden misdeeds that held me down. I was suppressed by someone and made a lot on-going mistakes in my daily life. I didn’t know how to deal with a lot of issues so I swept them away and pretended that they weren’t there. Now that I know the tools in this course I am on a path that will lead me to endless prosperity.

Associate Degree: Writing the Rules of the Game, Company Policy

Associate degreeBy Claire Tsai, a Taiwanese student from Taichung on the associate degree program at the Hubbard College of Administration (HCA), Los Angeles, CA.

I just completed the “How to Write Effective Company Policy” course. Before I studied this course, I always thought, “Oh, policy that is just to put in the company and doesn’t have anything to do with me.” I don’t think that I’m alone in thinking this way. But, that way of thinking is rubbish! Every company has policy but who knows and applies it? So, I began this course with some curiosity.

In this course, I learned many useful data. I understand that a company or an organization needs to have policy. The quality of the policy is secondary–having some policy is a must. If the company does not have any policy, it is inevitable that the company will have problems.

Wow! I was surprised to discover the true purpose of policy: “Policy permits the basic purpose [of the company] to succeed.”

Therefore, every person who is following policy is forwarding the purpose of the company and combining his or her efforts with everyone else who is also following policy.

From my new data, I got a big win. I understand why a company could have many problems and yet can’t solve them. Somewhere in the company, staff didn’t (a) find out “policy” and (b) really “understand it” then (c) “apply it” in their work. If everyone in the company just follows those three points, the company purpose will succeed.
