Rosendin Electric Gives Desert Hills High School Students a “Day in the Life” of an Electrical Contractor

Hands-on Construction Project Highlights Vocational Tour to Give Students Information About Career Opportunities in Electrical Construction.

Tempe, AZ, USA — Rosendin Electric (http://www.rosendin.com), one of the nation’s largest private electrical contractors and an employee-owned company, recently hosted students from Desert Hills High School in Gilbert, Arizona, to help them understand the scope and demands of electrical contracting and to provide hands-on experience with electrical design-build and construction project management.

The tour was offered to students participating in the regional STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) program developed by the Arizona Department of Education to promote education in science and engineering. Upon arrival, the students were presented with a mock construction project to complete. Designed to give students an understanding of the end-to-end requirements of electrical construction, the project included developing plans, using Building Information Modeling (BIM) systems for modeling, creating a parts list, understanding prefabrication, pricing and bidding, and more.

“We continue to see a growing demand for skilled talent in the electrical construction industry,” said Dean Howard, Business Development Manager for Rosendin Electric’s Tempe office. “Today’s electrical contractor has to understand computer modeling, logistics, finance, alternative energy, and much more. By giving students hands-on experience, we hope more will consider a career in electrical construction.”

According to a recent survey by the Associated General Contractors of America, 86 percent of contractors are having difficulty finding hourly skilled construction workers. The same survey reports that 52 percent are having difficulty finding experienced professionals for positions such as project managers and supervisors. Experts predict an ongoing need for skilled labor throughout the country, including in markets with high demand for new building such as Phoenix.

Rosendin Electric executives hope this event is the first in a series of tours. The company plans to continue to work with area high schools to promote interest in electrical construction and to encourage students to pursue an internship or apprenticeship.

President Robert Miller and Future Electronics Support “Stretching For Health” Initiative

Pointe Claire, Quebec (realtimepressrelease) May 12, 2016 – Future Electronics, a global leading distributor of electronic components founded in Montreal, Quebec, Canada in 1968 by Robert Miller, places a strong focus on the health and well-being of the company’s employees.

One example of a health-related initiative at Future Electronics‘ Montreal Headquarters is “Stretching for Health.” This program started when the Strategic Business Development Unit team members were encouraged by a nurse in the company’s on-site Medical Center to do stretching during the day in order to avoid muscle stiffness that often results from long periods of sitting.

The group decided to begin by doing stretches together every morning and every afternoon. Within just two months, team members started to notice results and felt better. They are now spreading the word and encouraging other departments to implement regular group stretching activities. The President of Future Electronics, Robert Miller, is health-conscious and encourages employees to live healthy lifestyles.

PAC Plans Defeat Of Key Politicians Responsible for Illegal Immigration

Raleigh, NC, USA — Contact: William Gheen, President of Americans for Less Immigration PAC (ALIPAC) | WilliamG@alipac.us | (866) 703-0864

ALIPAC, which played a key role in the defeat of Eric Cantor in 2014, is calling for volunteers and donors to help mount an effort to defeat four targeted politicians who support amnesty and other benefits for illegal immigrants in the GOP primaries of 2016.

The four targeted GOP primary campaigns are state Rep. Harry Warren’s campaign for Congress in NC’s new 13th Congressional district, DC lobbyist Taylor Griffin who is challenging Congressman Walter Jones Jr. in NC’s new 3rd district, Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI-2), and Senator John McCain (R-AZ).

Volunteers and donors are being asked to help make calls to core GOP households in these districts and to fund letters from ALIPAC’s President William Gheen warning Republican voters about the responsibility Warren, Griffin, Ryan, and McCain have for America’s costly and deadly illegal immigration crisis. ALIPAC also hopes to help marshal national attention on defeating these amnesty backing candidates.

“Each of these men support the US Chamber of Commerce and illegal immigrants more than American citizens,” said William Gheen, President of ALIPAC. “All four of them can be defeated this year if enough Republican voters are reminded of and educated about these corrupt politicians who support taxpayer benefits and amnesty for illegal aliens.”

ALIPAC is America’s only active Political Action Committee dedicated to fighting against illegal immigration & amnesty. The four campaigns being targeted are…

Senator John McCain: McCain is America’s most notorious illegal immigration supporting politician who won reelection in 2010 by lying to AZ voters by falsely claiming he would no longer support amnesty and would not run for reelection again. McCain then proceeded to join the Gang of Eight to pass Marco Rubio’s amnesty bill S. 744 in 2013 which was stopped by conservatives like Congressman Walter Jones in the US House! McCain’s current run for reelection in 2016 is an obvious violation of his pledge not to run again. McCain has a spoiler candidate on the ballot named Alex Meluskey but still faces a strong challenge from ALIPAC endorsed candidate Dr. Kelli Ward!

Speaker Paul Ryan: Paul Ryan has supported amnesty for illegal immigrants, dangerous Muslim refugee resettlement programs, and Barack Hussein Obama, much to the disappointment of Republican voters who gave the GOP historic power in Congress over the last few election cycles to stop Obama/Ryan’s omnibus spending bill passed last December, which funded Obama’s unconstitutional amnesty orders that 26 states are suing to stop, Obama’s dangerous Syrian refugee resettlement programs, more than 4 billion dollars in EIC tax credits for illegal immigrants, Obamacare, and Sanctuary cities. At the same time, Ryan’s despicable funding bill quadruples H-2B visas to replace US workers and flood America with more hyper immigration levels while failing to fund the border fencing promised by Congress! ALIPAC is working to support Ryan’s GOP primary challenger Paul Nehlen.

DC Lobbyist Taylor Griffin: Taylor Griffin is a former DC lobbyist who has been transplanted into NC’s 3rd district by other Wall Street lobbyists to try to defeat incumbent Congressman Walter Jones Jr. While Jones has stood steadfastly against the big DC money efforts to grant amnesty to illegal aliens, he is now being targeted for removal by the corrupt DC insiders. A recent analysis of Griffin’s campaign finance reports by The Daily Haymaker found that more than 88% of his campaign funds are coming from outside of North Carolina with heavy hitter illegal alien amnesty backing billionaires like Paul Singer. Also of note, associates of amnesty supporter John Boehner are also funding Griffin’s attempt to unseat Walter Jones!

State Rep. Harry Warren: Harry Warren received praise from all of the Spanish language media in North Carolina last year when he was the primary sponsor of HB 328 which would give driver licenses to illegal immigrants which polls show most citizens oppose. ALIPAC fought to successfully stop Warren’s bill in the NC legislature and is now asking voters to reject Warren’s bid for higher office in NC’s newly drawn 13th Congressional district.
