Forum to Address Disconnect Between Businesses and Work Readiness and Skills of Today’s Workers


WASHINGTON, Oct. 10, 2014 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The United States has a pretty good idea of the available human capital, but significant numbers of workers lack the skills necessary to participate in the 21st-century economy. For this reason, Educational Testing Service (ETS) will devote one of its popular Research Forums to this disconnect and possible solutions on Tuesday, October 14, 2014.

Logo – http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120110/DC33419LOGO

The Research Forum will be held at ETS’s Washington, D.C., office, 1800 K Street NW, Ninth Floor, from 11:30 a.m.–1:30 p.m. Steven Robbins, Director of Research Innovations in ETS’s Research & Development division, and Martin Scaglione, President and CEO of Hope Street Group, will review the relationship between skills, work readiness and success from both research and policy perspectives as they discuss their work in building a skills agenda. They also will explore the need to establish a global framework of critical skills for workplace readiness and success as well as how to articulate the meaning of workplace readiness.

“Human capital is the most important resource in modern economies,” Robbins says. “But how do we measure human capital? Traditionally, we have assumed that academic degrees or credentials are a reliable proxy. And, if we count the number of high school graduates, college graduates and holders of advanced degrees, we also have a pretty good idea of how much human capital we have.

“However, we contend that skills and competencies reflect work readiness and success as much as degree and credential attainment,” he adds. “As seen through this lens, significant numbers of U.S. workers lack the skills necessary to participate in the 21st-century economy. States, corporations and organizations are burdened with a ‘skills mismatch,’ yet individuals — many of them with credentials — are struggling to obtain livable wages and middle-skills jobs.”

Robbins has worked as a lead developer on multiple personality and career assessments and has designed and built career and psychosocial curricula tied to assessment solutions to promote education and workplace success. A leading scientist in his field, Robbins has published more than 100 refereed articles and has led hundreds of workshops and presentations around the world.

At ETS, Robbins plays a leadership role in the Center for Academic and Workforce Readiness and Success, promoting initiatives around education and workplace success on a global scale. He provides intellectual leadership on creating standards and benchmarks tied to global workforce readiness and success. Robbins also spearheads the development of better assessment solutions that can contribute to the improvement of higher education retention and student learning outcomes.

Scaglione has made it his life’s work to create access to learning for those in need. He recently joined Hope Street Group as the organization’s new President and CEO. He is also co-founder of Viridis Learning, a talent development technology company based in New York City. He previously served as President and Chief Operating Officer of ACT’s Workforce Development Division and is widely credited with creating President Barack Obama’s Job Council program, “Right Skills Now.”

New Mangrove Restoration Project for Jamaica


LANDOVER, Md., Oct. 10, 2014 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — This week the Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation launches a year-long project to restore mangroves in Jamaica called the Jamaica Awareness of Mangroves In Nature (J.A.M.I.N.) project.

The JAMIN magrove restoration project run by the Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation and the University of West Indies takes high school students out into the mangroves. After careful maneuvering a student from William Knibb High holds a fiddler crab in Falmouth, Jamiaca

The venture, joined with the University of the West Indies-Discovery Bay Marine Laboratory and the Caribbean Student Environmental Alliance, will work with teachers and students from the William Knibb High and Holland High Schools in Falmouth, Jamaica. The project will begin this week with a training session for teachers. This will provide them with information and materials to teach their students about the importance of mangroves for Jamaican marine ecosystems.

Mangrove forests are made of several species of trees and shrubs that grow in the intertidal zone. They provide important habitat for young fish and sea creatures, and help protect the coastline from storms.

Following the educational training sessions teachers and students will go on a mangrove walk to identify the different species of mangroves, observe the negative human impacts to the mangrove forest, and collect young mangrove seedlings called ‘propagules’ for future rehabilitation of a mangrove forest in West Falmouth. The students will plant the propagules in containers and track their growth over the coming school year while learning about mangrove survivability.

The Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation and Discovery Bay Marine Laboratory will continue running training sessions throughout the school year, and after several months will help students plant their young mangrove trees along the shoreline. The young trees will be planted in restoration sites monitored by the University of the West Indies.

About the Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation
The Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation (LOF), founded by Khaled bin Sultan, is conducting the world’s largest coral reef survey and high resolution mapping expedition, as part of its 5 year Global Reef Expedition. The Expedition is helping LOF realize its mission to provide science-based solutions to protect and restore ocean health. As part of its commitment to Science Without Borders®, Living Oceans provides its data and information to leading ocean-focused organizations, governments, scientists, and local communities so that they can use knowledge to work toward sustainable ocean protection.

NESTLE® ABUELITA™ Celebrates Day of the Dead With Time-Honored Recipes Featuring Delectable Chocolate Ingredients

0

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 10, 2014 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The spirit of our ancestors never leaves us, and Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos) offers the perfect occasion to remember the lives of those who have gone before us and the family traditions they shared. Acknowledging those traditions, NESTLÉ® ABUELITA™, the authentic Mexican chocolate with a hint of cinnamon, celebrates Día de los Muertos by creating new traditions through food and cuisine.

Video – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S19pYWak_Ns

NESTLÉ ABUELITA has partnered with Celebrity Chef Richard Sandoval, featured on reality show Top Chef Masters and owner and chef of 37 Latin-themed restaurants throughout the world, to create a NESTLÉ ABUELITA keepsake recipe booklet with six exclusive creations. Chef Sandoval will make appearances at four public events, offering in-store sampling of the recipes in the following cities: October 10 – El Super in Los Angeles; October 25 – Fiesta Market in Houston; October 31 – Northgate Market in Los Angeles; and November 2 – Vallarta Market in Burbank. Recipe booklet giveaways also are scheduled at 250 Hispanic retail locations in Southern California, Chicago and Texas from October 1 through November 2, 2014. For all event information please check www.facebook.com/abuelita.

Featured recipes using NESTLÉ ABUELITA go beyond a chocolate beverage by incorporating Mexican chocolate in unique dishes to be enjoyed throughout the year. Creamy Chocolate Guava Wontons – Wontones Cremosos de Chocolate y Guayaba are shown in a "how-to" video with Chef Sandoval and his daughter (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S19pYWak_Ns). Other chocolate-inspired appetizers, soups, main dishes and desserts include:

  • Chocolate Adobo Rubbed Pork Chops – Chuletas de Puerco con Adobo de Chocolate
  • Chocolate Jerk Chicken Wings – Alitas de Pollo con Chocolate al Estilo Jamaicano
  • Avocado Gazpacho with Chocolate Chili Oil – Sopa Fría de Aguacate con Aceite de Chiles y Chocolate
  • Mexican Chocolate Tart – Tarta de Chocolate Mexicano
  • Fragrant Seafood Soup with Chocolate Broth – Sopa Fragante de Mariscos con Caldo de Chocolate

According to Chef Sandoval, "Passing on family traditions to the next generation is so important, and we routinely share our love and affection around traditional recipes that stir the senses. We always had NESTLÉ ABUELITA on our shelves in Mexico, but it's much more than for making a cup of chocolate or champurrado. Over the years, I developed original recipes with a modern touch that include this tasty ingredient for new generations to enjoy with family and friends in the United States."

Carlos Velasco, President of the International Brands Division of Nestlé USA, added, "We're excited about this partnership and recipe series with Chef Sandoval to create more traditions and opportunities to cook with NESTLÉ
ABUELITA and celebrate Hispanic culture in a personal way. Whether decorating colorful sugar skulls, making altar ofrenda offerings, visiting gravesites or partaking in favorite foods, Hispanic families recognize Día de los Muertos as a time of reflection and a celebration of life."

About NESTLÉ® ABUELITA™

For more than 80 years, NESTLÉ® ABUELITA™ has played an essential role in the lives of Hispanic consumers. The tradition of drinking NESTLÉ ABUELITA hot chocolate has been passed from one generation to the next, creating special moments with family and loved ones.
