Steps to Excellence For Personal Success - Pacific Institute The STEPS DVD course is a training programme delivered to groups by trained Facilitators of TLESN. This course enables participants to effect change, where necessary, in their lives. Participants are given an opportunity to participate in a positive learning environment, where they are enabled to assume responsibility, exercise judgment and use their imagination to gain practical knowledge to realise their full potential. Most of the subject matter focuses on human motivation and behaviour and the technical data can be found in a number of psychology texts in any good public library. However the Pacific Institute translates the scientific jargon into easily understood language and illustrates the principles in stories and examples that people can relate to in their own lives. The Facilitator makes the programme easier by encouraging the group and explaining the concepts of each module over a period of six mornings. This is done in a fun, stimulating and organised environment to enable the participants enjoy and understand the course. Initially, the programme was delivered to Jobslcub participants. However, in recent years, because of the positive feedback from participants and successful evaluations, at the request of Supervisors of Jobs Initiative and Community Employment, these participants are now availing of the course. Groups vary in size but, mostly range from 8 to 14 people from 18years upwards. The programme is delivered approximately 14 times per year., including those delivered through TLESN Jobsclubs.
