OVERVIEW OF GENERATIONS
This section will give an overview of Generations dating back to the “Silent Generation” and moving through to the newest generation, Generation Alpha.
Generational Overviews
- Discussion of Generations as a whole.
- Breakdown of the functionality of each generation.
- Discussion of why the shift between generations occurred.
MANAGEMENT AND RECRUITMENT
This section will give an overview of management and recruitment techniques in the area of law enforcement and other public service agencies.
Historical vs. New Versions of Leadership
- Ideas of leadership and the appropriate connections to the generations.
- Focus on Recruitment & Retention Ideas used by private companies.
- Conversion of Recruitment & Retention Ideas and application into public sector
- Information associated with leadership tactics specifically designed for lower-level management
- Conversation techniques when managing younger generations.
- Prioritization of why new techniques produce better productivity in younger generations.
INTERVIEWING TECHNIQUES
- Ideas for interviewing skills surrounding pre-employment.
- Ideas for interviewing techniques when confronting younger generations.

This class will also break down all the generations in the workforce and describe how each generation differs. This class will help new and experienced employees understand one another and produce quality relationships in the workplace based on understanding one another. This class will also allow each generation to understand themselves and help them grow in the workforce on a personal level.

This class stems from research in the area of Y/Z Generations. Chris has interviewed and compiled data from thousands of individuals within these generations. During this research, Chris discovered that, while there are substantial differences between the generations, understanding each other can benefit today's workforce.
