Education Matters: Don’t Even Think About Going to a For-Profit College
The young woman stepped up to the microphone, eager to ask her question. The BE Smart panel at this year’s Women of Power Summit in Hollywood, Florida, had just ended. We’d heard great speakers, like Pamela Mitchell of the Reinvention Institute, expound on the value of executive education and the difference executive credentials can make in a woman’s career. Now it was time for questions from the audience. The young woman cleared her throat. “I worked hard for my degree,†she began, “but I went to a for-profit college. Now can’t get anyone to hire me.†My heart sank upon hearing her words.

Prayut urges re-education of low-skilled workers
The premier made his remarks yesterday at the opening of the four-day “Thailand Industry Expo 2018”, which is being hosted by the Industry Ministry at the Impact Muang Thong Thani convention centre. He said there is a concern that the use of advanced technologies by businesses in the industry 4.0 era would cost people their jobs. He told related ministers and the private sector to join forces to seek ways to re-educate workers and improve their knowledge to let them catch up with the change in industry. The education sector should also focus more on producing graduates in the scientific and R&D fields to serve emerging new high-tech industries in Thailand, he said. “Somebody asked how can we reach the 4.0 era as we are now in 1.0 stage, and what should we do if the world moves to 5.0,” he said. “That’s a very unproductive statement – we have to start now otherwise we would go nowhere.” As the country is drawing … [Read more...] about Prayut urges re-education of low-skilled workers
Hong Kong insurance market lures well-educated mainland Chinese
HONG KONG (Reuters) - May Zhang, a 28-year-old from the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen, holds a master’s degree in engineering from the University of Oxford, but now makes her living selling insurance in Hong Kong.

REUTERS/Bobby Yip/File Photo Drawn by lucrative pay, Zhang is part of a growing band of well-educated young Chinese selling insurance in the city to buyers from mainland China who are seeking refuge from a falling yuan and are rattled by healthcare safety fears at home. These agents are seen as having the edge in winning business from clients from China’s upper and middle classes since they have similar educational and social backgrounds. “Every time the yuan depreciates or when things like the vaccine scandal happens, I get more people panicking and asking about Hong Kong insurance,” said Zhang, referring to recent … [Read more...] about Hong Kong insurance market lures well-educated mainland Chinese
