Right step to the right direction by the Dept. We can't afford to be in a situation where the license to trade and compliance is perceived as another piece of legislation. Regulatory intervention and compliance is a trigger to implement Organisational Design... The DTIC should include both the substance (OD interventions) and the Matter during the BBBEE assessment process and for submission to the Commission.

Don't forget to nominate. Nominating your EA, PA, VA, Support professional can make their day and make them feel valued. It doesn't take long to complete but can make all the difference. We are here if you have any questions. #awards #makesomeonesday #PA #EA #supportprofessional

My Election Day column in The QT argues even a big majority doesn't automatically give a government a mandate for the sizeable change the North East needs. Because you've got to lay the groundwork and convince people on the specific things you want to do differently. This campaign hasn't been like that. Collaboration will be crucial to bring in fresh ideas, to win people over when they are risk averse after so many challenging years, and to actually deliver tangible improvements to people's lives.

The Building Trades Career Center is the result of a collaborative effort between Employ Prince George’s, Prince George’s County Government, International Union of Painters and Allied Trades District Council 51 (IUPAT DC51), and industry partners. Funding for the center was generously provided by Prince George’s County Government, the Prince George’s County Workforce Development Board, a Bond Bill passed through the Maryland General Assembly and sponsored by Maryland Delegate Jazz Lewis. “Workforce development provides access to state-of-the-art training and has to be tied to employment. These are the critical keys to the success of Bidenomics. It’s not just the short-term jobs created by historic federal investments in infrastructure; it's the springboard to long-term careers, with better wages and benefits for millions without access to the middle class,” states Brian Courtien, Business Manager/Secretary Treasurer of IUPAT DC 51. #WeAreEPG #EPGBTCC #CareerCenterOpening #PrinceGeorgesCounty #SkilledTrades #WorkforceDevelopment #PrinceGeorgesProud #CEX #MarylandGovenor #AJCCN #AngelaAlsobrooks #CEXAlsobrooks #Delegate Lewis #GovernorMoore #WesMoore # IUPAT #DC51 #WorkforceDevelopment #WkDev #WIOA #ARPA #MDBluePrint

Powerful article from Darcie Jones

Interesting read regarding fair access to university in Scotland. For those unaware, my Doctoral Research Thesis focused on the psychology behind aspirations of going to university for those from non-traditional university applicants (first in family to apply to university, carers, those with additional support needs, mature applicants and those living in particular socioeconomic areas and attending schools with low progression rates to university). I worked closely with Newcastle University ‘s widening access programme PARTNERs to complete my research. I’m happy to share my findings with those who may be interested in my research. I focused on theories of motivation and aspirations and explored that it much more complex than simply ‘raising aspirations’, despite this being the prominent narrative surrounding many policy leaders and some historic widening access initiatives in the UK. My research found that the aspirations of attending university were already there and that it was more about the structural barriers that prevented people who wanted to attend university progressing to higher education. A key finding from my study was the importance of having a key figure (family member, teacher, peers, other important people in their life) believe in the individual’s competencey in achieving access to university. Also it was important to reduce the structural barriers with regards to finances, student support and entry requirements. Happy to discuss this in more detail. Please feel free to reach out to me if you’d like more information or access to my Thesis. I also appreciate that the university route isn’t for everyone and is not a measure of success on its own as there are many ways of achieving aspirations without having to attend university. John H.

A go-at-it again, as Dartmouth College Men's Basketball Team approves in a vote of 13-2 in favor of joining the Service Employees International Union, Local 560. In 2014, Northwestern University football team initiated the same move. However, at that time, the NLRB declined to recognize the union as legitimate. It is not expected to take the same stance with the Dartmouth team, but the situation is developing. It is exciting and nerve wracking to think about the impact these few men could have on several industries, the NCAA, and colleges. If they are successful, it will further swing the public perception of the role of unions in today's US workplace. Do the team activities, practice, and training represent a workplace? This can have tremendous consequence for everyone. https://lnkd.in/gk_SMuy4 #shrm #humanresources #business
