Unit 5 assignment audio script

Hi,

Sorry I missed you. I just opened a virtual training company called GTEX which stands

for Global Training Exemplar with my partner that trains employees in companies

around the world. I heard that you graduated from Kaplan University with an MBA with

an emphasis in Human Resources. I would love to hire you as a consultant to advise us

because they want to hire five new trainers with their MBAs and four junior support staff

between 15 and 16 years of age to do the e-marketing, visual presentations, and

administrative work. Our budget is limited so that is why I want to hire (contract) new

MBAs and junior staff.

If you could please create a 10–12 slide Power Point presentation for me and my

partner recommending in detail how we should pay these contract MBAs and junior

staff, and what laws would GTEX need to be aware of in the process of hiring these

MBAs and junior staff members.

You can put your notes with the details on the notes section of each slide.

Thanks so much and talk to you soon
