Giving orang asli youth skills training
TANGKAK: The Johor Education Foundation (YPJ) has launched an aggressive move to attract as many orang asli youth to take up skills training courses next month. A team, led by Muar and Batu Pahat community college chairman Abdullah Omar, has started making visits and giving talks to a community of Temuan orang asli near Gunung Ledang. Abdullah said the programme was aimed at providing work skills to orang asli youth who did not have proper education to help them improve themselves. "The community colleges in Johor have been providing work skills such as electrical wiring, air-conditioning repair, sewing and even tailoring to youth for several years. "However, we now want to push the programme to the orang asli youth," he said in Kampung Tanah Gembur on Thursday. Abdullah said the settlement, headed by Tuk Batin Jengking Jani, had about 66 families living in 52 homes located at the foothill of Gunung Ledang near Bekok. He said initial checks with the community showed many of the youth either worked as contract labourers with daily wages or were self-employed. He said the community of about 300 residents who owned cars or motorcycles and mostly lived in homes powered by generators could benefit if there was a certified electrical wireman or mechanic among them. He said besides installing or repairing electrical wires, those with motor mechanical knowledge could repair vehicles while the girls could become tailors and sew dresses.
Carrier invests in DeWitt campus
Driving into Syracuse from Carrier Circle, visitors drive past a bombed-out-looking hotel and weedy parking lots across the street from Carrier Corp. Friday, Carrier announced plans for a $5 million renovation of its site. The air conditioning and refrigeration giant wants to sell off the parking lots, demolish an old building and upgrade the facade on its building facing Thompson Road. And while Carrier's plans won't take care of the dilapidated Howard Johnson's across from its Thompson Road campus, economic developers say it will go a long way toward sprucing up the neighborhood. Carrier President Geraud Darnis revealed the company's plans to its 1,500 employees during a visit to the DeWitt campus Friday morning. "Our goal is to turn vacant properties into productive assets for the community, while reducing our excess space to make the campus sustainable for the future," he said in a news release.
Some realtors tout green' credentials in tough market
Wouldn't you rather work with a Realtor who shares your values in environmental and social responsibility?" and sends its agents to environmentally friendly building courses. Last fall, Harry Norman Realtors in Atlanta had 48 Realtors certified by EcoBroker International, which educates Realtors on eco-friendly homes and marketing. Meanwhile, individual Realtors are carving "green" niches for themselves: Celeste Karan, of Keller Williams Realty in Chicago, started www.greenhomechicago.com, a site where she lists properties and promises "to help home buyers understand what truly constitutes a 'green building.' " Such agents say their knowledge of environmentally friendly designs and materials can help clients in several ways. First, the brokers will link interested buyers to homes that are built with eco-friendly features, like solar power and energy-efficient appliances.
