1Foundations of Workplace Success
Part A: A Learning Contract
1. Objective
In order to develop my professional skills and competencies I wish to develop my
communication skills (oral and written) and public speaking skills. These skills will enable
me to communicate more effectively in both verbal and non verbal communication and speak
in front of people.
2. Specific resources and strategies
To improve written and oral skills I will enroll for a 2 day communication skills training
course and to improve public speaking skills I will enroll in a 1 day training course on public
speaking training. The resources that I would need to improve my communication include
books and computer for online resources.
The objectives can be measured through the certification received at the end of the
program, indicating my performance and competency in written and oral communication and
in public speaking. Also, my skills in oral communication and public speaking can be
measured by my ability to give oral presentations and speech. My written communication
skills can be measured through by ability to write a good speech (Jackson 2015).
