Dear Ms. Jones

Re: Introduction of a New Program Titled “Essentials for Employment Opportunities”

Subject to the reference above, I would like to introduce a new program titled “Essentials for Employment Opportunities”. The proposed program is designed to help students become conversant with the methodology and tools required for successful job application.

The proposed program will teach students how to design and write job application documents including but not limited to cover letter, resumes, application letters, letters of recommendation and other supporting documents. If the request is granted, the proposed program will become an integral part of the education process in the college and is expected to have essential benefits to the students. More specifically the program will assist students in applying for jobs after completion of their education or during spare time. Once approved, the program will be implemented instantly and will be expected to be operational by the start of the next academic year for easier transition. Students will be expected to complete the program within the last semester of their education program. This will give continuing students an opportunity to go through the program as they finish school. As aforementioned, the proposed program is expected to equip students with the tools and knowledge of how to prepare job application documents. As such, students will be expected to know how to prepare documents such as cover letters, job application letters, recommendation letters, resumes and other supporting documents.

I looking forward to hearing from you in regard to the proposed program as well as preparing students on their final journey in relation to job search.

Sincerely Yours

Dear Ms. Jones

Re: Introduction of a New Program Titled “Essentials for Employment Opportunities”

I am interested in introducing a new program as indicated in the subject line. I am currently working with GBCC as assistant in your office and have over the years gained essential expertise on the college’s education system and I believe I have the required skills to implement and oversee the proposed program.

As an assistant in the office of the human resource and I have developed strong management and instructional skills. For example, under the human resource department I have been charged with assisting the human resource manager with preparing audits and other reports as required under the HR function.

The office duties calls for meticulous management skills not to mention writing skills which are highlighted in the proposed program. More importantly, I have had an opportunity to review some of the applications made to the office and noticed the need to provide students with the skills required for successful job application.

I have also acquired extensive experience in human resource management and the institution’s education system over the years that I have worked as an assistant in the human resource department. My experience in the department and the school in general has afforded me an opportunity to familiarize myself with the education system.

I am confident that my skills and experience in the institution will come with an added advantage. Enclosed herein is my resume and other supporting documents. I look forward to discussing my qualification in detail.

Sincerely,

Re: Human Resource Manager at GBCC, Donna Jones

I take this opportunity to recommend the assistant to the HR Manager at GBCC, Donna Jones, who wants to initiate a new program at the institution. As the director of personnel development at our institution, I have worked with this individual who was at the time the program leader who was directly reporting to my office. Having worked with him for more than two years, I consider him as a competent and highly motivate individual who has the potential to enhancing the success of the students. In addition, he was a team leader with strong leadership skills. He has over the years influenced successful implementation of different projects that were implemented in different learning institutions. Having reviewed the proposed program, I believe that students will gain the opportunity of learning new skills and abilities that are essential for the job application process.

Over the years, our organization has collaborated successfully in developing learning programs that have become an integral tool in enhancing the learning performance of students. In association with the assistance manager, our institution managed to fulfill the requirements of various proposed programs to enhance the progress of the students. Not only is he highly experienced in working culturally diversified individuals, but he also possesses the skills of motivating the slow learners. The assistance manager played an instrumental role in spearheading different programs that specifically applied to enhancing students’ knowledge particularly when it comes to their career development. Therefore, I have no hesitations when it comes to recommending the abilities of my former employee, and I am assured that his proposed program will go a long way in developing the knowledge and skills of the students in the long run.
