Keyano College workers get 3 years of wage freezes

Last month, Alberta Labour Relations updated their collective bargaining agreements database with the most recent negotiated collective agreements. One of the new agreements was between Keyano College in Fort McMurray and the support workers employed there, who are unionized with Local 2157 of the Canadian Union of Public Employees. The nearly 200 workers have been working off their previous…

10 Things No One Tells You About Post-Secondary Life – Student Life Network Blog

From proper sleep to your GPA—breaking down the realities of post-secondary life that they never tell you about when entering college or university. Honesty is more helpful than lies, half-truths, and sugar-coated crap. But the latter is what way too many students hear when they ask questions about post-secondary life. Most of the time, anyway. The good news is that you can expect a whopping…

Ms Smith: I do want to talk for a moment about postsecondary institutions, Mr. Speaker. Let’s be frank. I don’t know if it needs to be said or not, but it’s my observation that at this current moment in time Ottawa’s priorities are not Alberta’s priorities. Alberta has been funding targeted enrolment expansion based on Alberta’s labour market in order to ensure that industry and job creators have the skilled and professional workers that they need. We know with the Dow Chemical petrochemical facility. Whether it’s Air Products, whether it’s pipeline projects, we know that we need to have tens of thousands of skilled construction workers to be able to fuel that growth. We also need tens of thousands of skilled construction workers to be able to build the homes that we need.

Ottawa provides funding specifically in other areas that are not urgently needed in our workplaces and our economy. They specifically fund programs, initiatives, and research that furthers their ideology, and that ideology is often contrary to Alberta’s interests.

#postsecondary institutions do not exist to pump out pipeline workers #or take orders from the provincial government's ideology #fuck off #alberta #alberta politics #ableg #Danielle Smith #Brooks-Medicine Hat #UCP #cdnpoli

I have several degrees. They should arguably get me further than they currently do.

#the percentage of working age adults who’ve earned a college degree or other postsecondary credential reached 53.7% in 2021 #Today. a master’s degrees provides the ‘opportunities’ that a bachelor’s degrees did 20 years ago.#I should not be making what I do with all the degrees I have #Went into the wrong industry. That’s for sure

4, 7 & 18 for the education asks 🥰

Since I'm thinking about AOM, let's talk about Horatio. He has a master's in botany and a slate of certifications from the Botanist's Guild.

4. Did they meet any new friends or start any other significant relationships during university? He spent a year abroad as an exchange student at Christina's alma mater (on another planet that I haven't named, in a nearby locality). That's where he met Christina and they very quickly became friends because neither of them are normal about plants and he could listen to her talk about her research forever. (As I'm writing this I'm realizing Horatio has met Althea? They were never really friends but Althea was also not a Pirate TM then.)

7. What class did they excel in? I had to search botany programs for a bit to figure out what he would have done well in but the second I saw aquatic botany I was like, yup, that. He doesn't actually deal with aquatic plants very much as a live florist, but he's always lived near the sea, and he'll never say no to a class with plant study field trips. As for his Guild certifications, he aced bookkeeping.

18. If your oc participates in any extra-curricular activities or clubs, what are they? How much of their time and energy do these take up? Horatio: I'm gonna find a club that's not related to botany! also Horatio: beekeeping club is the best club

Aside from beekeeping club he became part of the urban exploration club at Christina's school, which is actually in a proper city, unlike Tobarsha University. As a result, he developed side interests in architecture and interior design, which didn't really turn into club involvements but did result in him spending a lot more time in the library and university archives reading up on the history of buildings. He still has a small collection of interior design books.

#he probably also was that friend who everyone just invited to whatever because he would show up #he wasn't really a partier but he would gladly chat in the corner for hours #and if you invited him to church/a concert/a performance/a restaurant/a festival/etc. he'd go 'yeah sure if I'm free then'#wip: aom #c: Horatio #postsecondary ask game #ask games

Press Release: Western Carolina University University Participant Program First Postsecondary Program for Students with Intellectual Disability to be Accredited by New Agency

Martha Mock, Executive Director/Inclusive Higher Education Accreditation Council

Phone: 585–276–3363

Email: [email protected]

Quinn Barbour/Institute for Community Inclusion

Phone: 617–287–4309 (office) / 857–271–6617 (mobile)

Website: www.communityinclusion.org

PRESS RELEASE

For immediate release: May 10, 2023

Boston, MA— The Institute for Community Inclusion’s (ICI) Think College and the Inclusive Higher Education Accreditation Council (IHEAC), a new accrediting agency for postsecondary programs for students with intellectual disability (ID), jointly announced today that the Western Carolina University (WCU) University Participant (UP) Program is now fully accredited for the next seven years. The WCU UP program is the first program to be accredited by the council.

“The Council is delighted to award accreditation to the outstanding WCU UP program and appreciate their willingness to be the first to undergo accreditation. The documentation provided, site visit, peer reviewer report, and strong support from the university clearly demonstrate that the UP program merits accreditation,” said Stephanie Smith Lee, IHEAC Board President.

Two Think College National Coordinating Center (NCC) Accreditation Workgroups created the model program accreditation standards as part of a grant from the US Department of Education. The current NCC Accreditation Workgroup developed a process for accrediting programs using those standards, including a self-study, guidance manual, site visit, and plan for piloting program accreditation.

Dr. Kelly Kelley, UP Program Director and Professor at WCU said, “I am so proud of our program. I believe that receiving IHEAC accreditation highlights the quality of the educational experience our students have here at Western Carolina. I am pleased to be the first program to go through this newly established accreditation process. While the process was rigorous, it is clear that our field will benefit from the collaborative, thoughtful approach to accreditation.”

The Think College NCC launched the IHEAC in 2023 with pioneers in inclusive postsecondary education, all of whom are parents of people with intellectual disability. Madeleine Will, Stephanie Smith Lee, Elise McMillan, and Tom Sannicandro are the founding board of directors for the Council. Read more about this historic accomplishment in a recent Inside Higher Education article.

I like my job; I like my boss and the work that I do, which is socially meaningful. But I also would really like to make more money than it's realistically possible for someone of my skills and experience to make in nonprofits, so I've been considering transitioning to the for-profit world.

The problem is my job doesn't really exist in the for-profit world. So I've been going through my resume and reworking it to demonstrate general skills (administration, budgeting, cat-herding, etc) and trying to figure out what kind of job those could support.

I also googled around for some kind of way to like, input my skills and get a list of jobs I could do with those skills. I found one site that had you rate 20-30 common job skills on a scale from "no knowledge" to "expert" and rated all my skills, then breathlessly hit the submit button to get the job suggestions back...

Well, I guess they aren't wrong.

[ID: My match results showing the top three jobs for someone with my particular skillset; number one is "Poets, lyricists, and creative writers" while number two is "Music directors and composers" and number three is "Art, drama, and music teachers, postsecondary."]

What extremely lucrative and easy-to-attain careers. ($73k a year my ass.)

I do actually have a ton of white-collar office-worker skills, but clearly my dislike of hard work and my passion for bullshitting shone through...
