Task 3 D360 HRM Capstone
A1. Recommend two knowledge, skills, abilities, or other Characteristics
(KSAO) to add to the dog trainer job description that align with the shelter’s
goals.
The third project scenario proposes the integration of professional canine
training services into the shelter’s existing program portfolio. Grant funding
will support the hiring of three qualified professionals who will provide both
group-based training classes and individualized, in-home instruction for
newly placed adopters. Achieving these objectives will require the
recruitment of a candidate with demonstrable expertise and experience in
facilitating individual and group training interventions, as well as verified
professional training credentials. The following qualifications are proposed
to be included in the updated Dog Trainer role description:
• Documented experience in the design and facilitation of both group-
based and individualized canine training sessions.
• Demonstrated proficiency in public speaking, instructional delivery,
and leading educational programs for diverse audiences.
• Possession of a recognized professional certification in canine
training.
A2. Explain how the shelter taking steps to commit to diversity, equity, and
inclusion (DEI) can be included in the shelter’s employee value proposition
and talent acquisition plan.
The shelter can further its commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion
(DEI) by increasing the accessibility and reach of its employment
opportunities to a wider pool of candidates. This may be accomplished by
disseminating job announcements through diverse channels, including
institutions of higher education, senior centers, and digital job platforms.
Targeted outreach to underrepresented demographic groups, the
development of internship opportunities for college students, and the
provision of scholarships as applicant incentives may also strengthen the
inclusivity of recruitment efforts.
, In addition, the shelter should ensure that all stages of the hiring process
are fully accessible to applicants. This includes offering both online and in-
person application options and reviewing onboarding procedures to
incorporate appropriate accommodations, such as enlarged print materials,
multilingual resources, and audio-supported formats. These strategies
collectively promote equitable access and foster a more inclusive
organizational culture.
A3. Compare the current salaries and wages with the external
compensation data for the dog trainer position by completing the following:
a. Identify the range and median wage for the position in the United States
using the most up-to-date information provided on O*NET within the past
