Leave a comment

Webinar will teach attendees strategies to make a job offer go from good to great

Buffalo, NY, April 12, 2012 – Bryant & Stratton College Online announced today a new session in its ongoing free career training webinar series. Titled “How to Negotiate a Job Offer,” the free webinar is available to job seekers, prospective students and current Bryant & Stratton College Online students.

Knowing how to negotiate empowers you to turn a good job offer into a great job offer.”

The “How to Negotiate a Job Offer” webinar will highlight practical tips in negotiating salary, benefits, vacation days, professional titles and more. Attendees of the webinar will learn how to:

* Prepare for negotiation, from researching existing salaries to creating a “non-negotiables” self-checklist

* Identify what elements in a job offer are negotiable and what are not

* “Talk the talk,” by understanding what to say to help get what they want and what words might cost them a job

“At Bryant & Stratton College Online we are committed to helping our current and prospective students become trained, savvy job seekers; that includes knowing how to negotiate a job offer. Ms. Dority is an accomplished career coach with great knowledge to offer and we are excited to host this webinar at no cost to attendees,” said Scott Traylor, Associate Campus Director for Online Education at Bryant & Stratton College.

FPL Partners with Indian River State College to Launch Brown Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship

Leave a comment

“Since the program was developed, we have hired over 60 trained individuals and promoted 24 existing employees because of the skills and knowledge they gained here at IRSC,” Mano Nazar, FPL’s Nuclear Division executive vice president and chief nuclear officer.

Juno Beach, FL (April 13, 2012) — The next generation of FPL nuclear technicians and engineers could very well get their start at Indian River State College’s (IRSC) new Brown Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship.

The $21.5 million, 65,000 square foot facility at IRSC’s Ft. Pierce campus represents a unique partnership between the college and local business partners, including FPL.

The Brown Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship will focus on educational programs in alternative energy and sustainability. Students will learn how to produce biofuels, construct photovoltaic solar cells, experiment with light technologies, and gain hands-on experience in all aspects of energy efficient building construction.

The center will also feature a nuclear simulator complete with a control room that will help train students to work at Florida Power & Light’s St. Lucie or Turkey Point nuclear power plants. The college received a $3.1 million grant from the National Science Foundation to train instructors who will then train students.

The program includes a partnership of schools from 18 states.

FPL donated equipment so students can get real-life experience in a controlled environment.

“I think it’s going to play a big part moving into the future,” IRSC President Ed Massey told Scripps Treasure Coast Newspapers. “By housing the nuclear energy program and the power plant operations program in partnership with Florida Power & Light, again it is meeting a high demand need in our area and putting people in high skill, high-wage paying jobs available in that industry.”

The Brown Center represents an extension of the partnership FPL has built with IRSC over the past six years, helping to train students in nuclear technology and place them in jobs immediately following graduation.

“Our partnership with IRSC has been a win-win,” said Mano Nazar, FPL’s Nuclear Division executive vice president and chief nuclear officer. “Since the program was developed in 2006 in partnership with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and IRSC, we have hired over 60 trained individuals and promoted 24 existing employees because of the skills and knowledge they gained here at IRSC. This is a great example of how an innovative partnership like this one can really make a difference.”

Elvin Bishop Video On Demand available through Venmundi.com starting April 15, 2012

Leave a comment

Video on Demand program resulted from Elvin Bishop’s live performance December 2011 at the Club Fox in Redwood City

Redwood City, CA, April 12, 2012 – Renowned and popular Blues artist Elvin Bishop’s first Video on Demand (VOD) from his stellar December 2011 performance is now being made available at venmundi.com. Bishop chose his December performance at Club Fox to take advantage of VenMundi’s new technology.

Bishop’s Video On Demand will be previewed at venmundi.com. The on demand concert appearance will be released on Sunday, April 15, 2012 and will be available from April 15 – June 15. A preview of the Video On Demand concert can be found at:  http://ebpromo.venmundi.com. Easy to access, go to www.venmundi.com, register as a member which is FREE to all and see a preview and purchase the on demand view for $5.

Elvin Bishop comments, “I’ve enjoyed working with VenMundi on this project – they respect and understand what artists want. Not only was I able to do the show and stream it live from the Club Fox but now I’m able to get the Video on Demand (VOD) of the performance to my fans!”

Bishop’s December concert marked a world-wide first when VenMundi broke down geographic barriers making this rare show available to fans around the globe by streaming the concert live, and now on-demand, through venmundi.com . This was the first public demonstration of VenMundi’s patented capabilities.

VenMundi was created when software developer and entertainer Ron Parks was traveling in London, listening to Jazz artists in numerous clubs. He reflected on how great it was to hear the music and how sad it was that the world could not be there. With the new capabilities in streaming and technology, he wanted to provide a way for the artists to reach fans wherever they are, whenever they want it on their computers, home entertainment systems, tablets and mobile devices.

Ron Parks, VenMundi Founder explains, “VenMundi lets musicians reach their fans live and in-person and simultaneously via streaming video on the Internet with a level of visual quality and audio clarity rarely found online. Even better, fans can soon queue up concerts from their favorite artist’s on-demand so they get what they want, when and how they want it with uncompromised quality and an experience that is almost as good as being there.”

VenMundi.com is a portal, providing live and video on-demand content on the Internet for a price per event through laptops, Smartphones, tablets and home entertainment centers. Although the initial focus is on the entertainment industry, the possibilities are endless. VenMundi’s patented process includes the workflow and the documents that allow the artist, the venue and the viewer to participate in a VenMundi broadcast. We are the “easy button” for Artists, Venues and Fans.

Barbra Higgins, VenMundi President adds, “We launched our company with this great partnership with Elvin Bishop. He has a dedicated following around the world, as a result Elvin’s live performance at the Fox was sold out. But now through VenMundi’s platform and subsequent sales of the VOD, thousands more can enjoy the show where ever they like. Comments from our recent test events indicate patrons are excited to have access to the music they love from the artists they have followed for years when, where and how they want it through VenMundi’s high quality live and on-demand streaming capabilities.”

VenMundi’s patented process enables the uninterrupted transmission of the content, which by using our methodology is of the highest quality and manages the revenues and fan base in an efficient, accessible, easy-to-use format. Every aspect of the licensing and contractual complexities of the music and entertainment industry is addressed effectively. VenMundi is not only poised to be the de-facto destination for live entertainment on the web, but also the Internet equivalent of a lecture/seminar hall, auditorium, theater, stadium, fundraiser event, and much more. In addition, VenMundi will provide artists the opportunity to market their performances via VOD from the live shows. The full entire concert DVD will be made available for purchase on May 27th at the Santa Cruz Blues Festival and will be available in stores shortly thereafter.

New York, NY, April 12, 2012 – Juno Award winning Canadian jazz singer Kellylee Evans will make her debut New York headlining performance at the Apollo Music Cafe on Friday, May 11, 2012, as part of the second annual Harlem Jazz Shines Festival, which runs from May 7-13, 2012. Evans will be featuring material from her inspiring tribute to jazz icon Nina Simone, entitled NINA, which earned her a 2011 Juno Award for BEST JAZZ VOCAL ALBUM. Her show at the Apollo Music Cafe, which is located on the second floor of the legendary Apollo Theater in Harlem, will start at 10:00 PM. Doors will open at 9 PM.

Evans, who was recently signed to Universal Music/France, and is recording material for her next CD, will be performing with a jazz trio of internationally renowned musicians including Francois Moutin on Acoustic Bass, Marvin Sewell on guitar, and Mark McClean on drums. Both Moutin and Sewell recorded NINA with Evans, (in Paris) and Moutin has performed with her several times in noted clubs and music festivals throughout France since the record was released last year.

The Harlem-wide jazz festival reunites the Festival’s founding partners, the Apollo Theater, Harlem Stage and Jazzmobile, and focuses on the venues, music, and artists that were central to Harlem’s cultural landscape from the 1920s through the 1970s and on contemporary jazz artists. Bringing both established and emerging artists to famed Harlem venues, the festival will pay tribute to Club Harlem, Clark Monroe’s Uptown House, Havana San Juan Club, Small’s Paradise, Minton’s Playhouse, Showman’s Cafe, Park Palace, Lenox Lounge and the Apollo Theater. In addition to concerts at Jazz Shrines, other Festival events will take place at Harlem Stage Gatehouse, Columbia University and a variety of locations throughout the Harlem area.
