Summary

Course Description: This training satisfies the requirements of Texas House Bill 390 for training for hotel employees through the Human Trafficking and Transnational / Organized Crime Division of the Office of the Attorney General.

Course Objectives

• • Understand what human trafficking is,
  • Discover requirements for commercial lodging and the hospitality industry,
  • Learn specific signs to look for based on your role, and
  • Be prepared to make a report of suspected human trafficking.

Review: Good material delivered as a voiceover / slide show. Certificate after you watch video.

• My video review below has some callouts in it. 
• As an education course, it meets the minimum legal requirements.
• It's great that you can scrub the video and change its speed. It could have been only 20 minutes long (required by law), but they went to 30 minutes.
• Lots of emphasis on MALE trafficking, which is a HUGE improvement over other courses. 
• There's no “video”; it's all static images.
• The speaker knows their material and is authoritative. 
• All in all, I was left wanting more. It was too much like a slideshow.
• It's always sad when there's no assessment.
• It's nice they had pre-video questionnaire and post-video review forms. I might add that into our work one day.
• Couple of good screenshots at the bottom of the blog I had to share with you!
