Community partnerships provide long-term health for Riverland and our communities
Community colleges like Riverland have become increasingly more popular options as students consider the rising costs of traditional four-year institutions. Attending Riverland and then transferring to a four-year university to complete a bachelor’s degree is a more viable option when families consider managing educational expenses.
Two Riverland employees receive DACUM Level III facilitator certification
The Ohio State University has certified Riverland Community College employees Wanda Staska and Lori Jensen as Level III DACUM facilitators. DACUM is an acronym for developing a curriculum. It is a one or two day storyboarding process that provides a picture of what the worker does in terms of duties, tasks, knowledge, skills, traits and in some cases the tools the worker uses. A DACUM workshop or individual job analysis can increase a business or organization’s efficiency, effectiveness and productivity; update human resources job descriptions; prepare for future openings and the hiring of new employees.
