The Importance of Education & Training in PR

That dreadful day when my student loans are being collected upon is coming very, very soon. Despite having thousands of dollars to give back to my lenders, I have no regrets (as no one should issue school loan debt); however, it is difficult to avoid the reality and severity of this loan and the importance of repaying it.

I don’t see the amount of my debt is the same as the value I got from my education; the value far exceeds the amount I borrowed. I use my education every day and feel like a more knowledgeable person from school. I learned more than marketing and management; I learned about philosophy, ethics and environmental science and our impact on the planet. I hope to continue my education further, and only see it as another investment in me.

The Importance Of Education

What I want to emphasize is the importance of education, whether it’s from a 4-year college, or from the training you can get online or community college, of course with reason. Getting a degree in 4 weeks is not possible (and if so, the value of the degree is much smaller than the amount you paid for it), nor is it recommended. However, attending a training course can be as useful as a college course, and can provide you with as much knowledge. Continuing our education (in whatever form) is an important part of keeping our minds working and, although it may be debatable, keeping our minds from deteriorating in the future. Educating yourself helps you consider variables and make better decisions, which are an important part of a successful business.

Education and Training are an Important Part

In addition, education and training are an important part of keeping abreast of technology, changing demographics, and reaching your target audience. …

Earning Whilst You Learn

Wouldn’t it be great if you could learn a subject and work at the same time? Well now that is possible because there are various vocational qualifications that can be undertaken along with paid on the job training. There are various agencies and educational institutions that offer vocational qualifications such as teaching, plumbing, etc and then put you into a placement in that industry so that you can learn the theory behind the job as well as put it into practice.

Teaching is a popular industry that quite a lot of people want to get into now. Teaching is built up of a wide variety of disciplines and takes learning from various industries because teaching involves making candidates aware of the theories behind a particular job and therefore it requires them to not only learn that subject themselves but as an added bonus, having worked in the industry as well so that they can get of put forward a few of the experiences that they’ve had with clients and how to handle various situations and tasks.

Once the candidate has gained the qualification, they will also have completed some form of on the job training, this will overall help them to settle into the new career with ease and confidence, allowing fine transition into the new role.

One thing to note is that a fine distinction needs to be made between theory and practice because the theory may not always apply in practice. Make sense? Okay, so let’s elaborate further on this, in connection with teaching, you might find yourself in a personal situation with a candidate. However, there will be no concrete theory on how to handle situations like this and therefore the only thing that will help you in this situation is if you’ve been in the working …

College Scholarships for Mothers - Investing in the Future

As the number of single mothers, working mothers and mothers who wish to continue their tertiary education or get a degree is increasingly recognized, more and more universities and other government institutions are advancing to provide scholarships for truly decent and needy women throughout the world. They are fully aware of financial difficulties when intending to continue their tertiary education or bachelor’s degree. That is why many universities and other non-profit organizations voluntarily provide scholarships to mothers who then will not face critical challenges in pursuing further education.

Increased costs in pursuing higher education have signaled the need for scholarships, it has become more difficult for students to pay fees and other related school fees including mothers. With the availability of many scholarships for mothers, it’s generally easier to get a minimum of $ 8,000 – 10,000 that you don’t have to pay.

There are many scholarships that are easily accessible by the government, colleges and universities for needy and decent mothers who don’t need to visit the bank to fill out student loan applications and anticipate whether they are accepted or rejected. Many companies have emerged in the past to provide financial assistance to mothers to get a degree but most of them are not truly original, so you need to judge which of them are truly genuine and authentic to avoid your money being cheated.

You need to do a thorough research to get an easy scholarship to get. Most of them have not been used because people do not know him. You only need to fill in certain forms which require you to fill in the required information which will be very important in providing scholarships. There are certain guidelines to follow.

  1. You must at least graduate from high school.
  2. You must be very poor to take

New Educational Digital Learning Tools Will Sense Student Boredom and Other Emotions

Well, it’s been long time since I was in school, but I can tell you one thing I was bored out of my mind in elementary school, junior high, high school, and it wasn’t until college that I really felt challenged, probably because I was taking 33 credits in one semester. In fact, I can remember telling some of my classmates that I believe that our school system was nothing more than prison for kids, and later I likened it to day care center for working couples’ children – I kind of still believe that. Okay so, let’s talk about this for moment. Specifically, I would like to address the issue of student boredom.

Now then, as the class sizes get bigger, our education system will rely more on computerized teaching to tackle the challenges and economies of scale. It will also help the budget which is burdened by legacy costs, top heaviness, and over regulation from the federal level, things like NCLB for instance. What about the future of education, digital learning tools, and our new social networking in information age?

There was cool little article recently in SpaceDaily entitled; “New computers respond to students’ emotions, boredom,” written by Staff Writers at Notre Dame and published on March 07, 2012. The piece stated:

“Emotion-sensing computer software that models and responds to students’ cognitive and emotional states – including frustration and boredom – has been developed by University of Notre Dame and colleagues from the University of Memphis and MIT.”

Neurologists have discovered that just before human makes mistake, their brain wave has little flicker, and interestingly enough, many videogame companies now have brainwaves they can induce into the player for emotions such as fear, contentment, love, and anger. This makes the game seem more real, tapping into the emotional …

Improving Your Future Education and Employment Prospects

With cuts in the current economy and everyone being told to tighten their belts by the British government, it seems that there is still light at the end of the tunnel for people who want to get better education and better prospects for future employment. In reviews of recent research it was found that employers were impressed by both job candidates and current employees who gained qualifications through part-time study whilst being employed in some capacity.

It is widely regarded that employers like when students or employees gain valuable experience through the combination of both work and study. In some cases employers will grant funding to go towards fully paid study tuition to an existing employee. This is seen as not only commitment by both parties, but also it is way of sharing an employees career progression and reinforces the employees position within an established workplace, plus adds value to their skills and qualifications gained within the company.

Part-time students looking to move into different areor field of employment future employers will see their commitment of working and studying part-time as an asset and strength of character, thus giving them better chance in the workplace over other prospective candidates with none or little work experience to back up their qualification gained.

For mature students or people of certain age with other commitments like families, studying part-time is the only way of attaining better qualification or added qualification like post graduate. There are still plenty of benefits for studying in this way, firstly the job security is still there, so financially it’s less draining and means that if you do need to take up student loan, it should be greatly reduced due to the added income from working alongside your study.

These days in education part-time students have an equal amount …
