Get ready to relearn everything you thought you knew about what a successful career path can look like.

Today, unemployment hovers at a near-record high, yet 3.5 million American jobs remain unfilled. Why? Because companies simply cannot find people with the skills they actually need.

The good news is that this skills gap represents unprecedented opportunities for every person seeking a successful and exciting career. But these opportunities can’t be found inside the walls of the traditional classroom. Instead, they lie in the myriad of educational options that provide the technical, vocational, and soft skills on demand in today’s workplace, such as:

–Professional certifications: Start your career faster in fields like bioscience aviation, culinary arts, and medical technology.

–Associates degrees: Increase earning potential through inexpensive 2-year programs in subjects like civil engineering, environmental science, education, and nursing.

–Apprenticeships: Earn while you learn under the direct supervision of a skilled expert. Far beyond the artisan trades, today’s apprenticeships can be found at companies like Volkswagen and Siemens.

–Occupational learning: Refresh or reboot your skill sets through on-the-job training or online education.

In Job U, you’ll learn about these paths to rewarding occupations; where to find them and how to parlay them into the best paying job in any field. And along the way, you’ll meet individuals of all ages who have attained their “dream jobs” through a non-traditional education: from an emergency air paramedic, to a lead mechanic of a racecar team, to an engineer of complex gas turbine generators, to a bestselling cookbook author.

Whether you are recent high school or college graduate, or well along in your career journey, Job U will help you find your way to a more secure and prosperous future.

Breakthrough Technique:

Read Faster by Understanding Faster.

Don’t you hate it when reading takes so long… and yet you retain so little? Is this way of reading even worth your time? By learning to read with your whole brain — not just the slow, step-by-step, analytical left side that handles word-recognition, but also your fast, parallel-processing, big-picture right brain — you can reach new levels of reading and cognition.

Learn to visualize whole ideas at a time, and turn reading into a truly engaging experience instead of a chore. Discover how to encourage the involvement of your powerful, silent, imaginative right-hemisphere and begin reading ideas rather than just words. Apply the conceptual abilities of your right brain to increase concentration, comprehension, and reading speed.

Only faster comprehension, can lead to faster reading!!

Reading IS comprehension. There is no reading without comprehension. The only way to really read faster, is by understanding faster. These new theories and techniques will have you reading faster by thinking faster.

  • Read whole ideas at a time.
  • Strengthen your comprehension.
  • Sharpen your concentration.
  • Reduce your vocalization.

Every Teacher Matters

Inspiring Well-Being Through Mindfulness
By Kathryn Lovewell

“Kathryn Lovewell’s book has such a powerful role to play. If every child matters, then it must follow as night follows day that every teacher matters.” Felicia A Huppert, Professor of Psychology, Director of the Well-being Institute, University of Cambridge

Teachers are the most valuable resource in Education. Why is it that so little investment is made to supporting teachers to ensure they can sustain effective teaching and learning in the classroom?

What if we were to invest time and energy back into the core of education, the teachers? What if we were to publicly express how valuable teachers really are? What if we lived in a society that made emotional health and well being in the workplace a priority? What if we lived in a world where emotional intelligence was prioritized over any other subject so that learning could be accessed more easily and effortlessly?

This is an important book that
should be read by:
School Administrators
Teachers
Parents
