After Hitler's October 1941 order to fortify the Channel Islands (as part of the Atlantic Wall), work began on a string of fortifications all around Jersey. Ho8 was intended to be a vast network of underground tunnels that would allow the German occupying infantry to withstand Allied air raids and bombardment (in preparation for an invasion). Forced labourers from the Organisation Todt (as well as paid labourers and skilled workers) were shipped in to Jersey and put to work building the complex. Many of the workers were Polish, French, Russian or Republican Spaniards. Conditions were terrible, although Russian and Ukrainian POWs were treated the worst, with cases of malnutrition, death by exhaustion and disease among them becoming common. On the other hand, the voluntary workers often had much better conditions, being offered over four times the wages that they would have earned working in similar jobs for the States of Jersey, and often receiving extra food rations.

 

In late 1943, with the threat of an Allied invasion of Europe (Operation Overlord) becoming clear, Ho8 was to be converted into a casualty clearing station and emergency hospital. The hospital had 500 beds for patients, with a full heating and air conditioning system (although the rest of the tunnel complex usually maintained a constant temperature of about 17 °C (63 °F), due to its being built deep into the hillside). A system of gas-proof doors was installed to maintain a clean airflow in the tunnels, and a fully equipped operating theatre was installed. Unfinished tunnels were sealed off.

 

Despite the huge preparations and fortifications made to the Channel Islands, none were ever utilised. The occupying forces in the Channel Islands surrendered on 9 May 1945 (one day after the rest of the German forces surrendered). Ho8 fell into disuse, with British soldiers and souvenir hunters stripping the tunnels of equipment.

Salem State University, Massasoit Community College, Springfield Technical Community College, and the University of Massachusetts Lowell will each receive $30 million for major capital projects that will modernize campus facilities to support STEM instruction and expand the number of skilled workers in key STEM occupations in the Commonwealth. The improvements will increase enrollment capacity in these programs by about 2,000 students. [Joshua Qualls/Governor’s Press Office]

Attending the EuroSkills Budapest Conference on 27 September 2018, EUROCHAMBRES President Christoph Leitl underlined the importance that education and training is in tune with the skills needs of the private sector.

As the economy evolves faster than ever due to technological breakthroughs, curricula content and the way it is delivered must prepare young people for emerging new opportunities and enable them to adapt to future needs that cannot yet be predicted.

The last edition of EUROCHAMBRES’ annual economic survey of over 50.000 businesses across Europe revealed a lack of skilled workers one of the greatest challenges. This is in line with a longer term trend, as the skills mismatch issue has been a problem for several years, in times of both high and low unemployment. “We have more graduates than ever in Europe and incredibly talented young people entering the labour force. But what good is this if they cannot find work and employers cannot find staff with the right skills? We must do better in ensuring that education prepares young people for current and emerging employment opportunities”, President Leitl said.

Euroskills plays an important role in addressing this persistent skills mismatch across Europe by showcasing the professional skills sought by many employers across a wide range of sectors. It is also based on a pan-European approach, which Chambers consider an important element in matching supply and demand. “Employers, policy-makers and educators must work together to ensure that vocational education is perceived by young people as a positive option that opens up excellent career opportunities and offers an international perspective. Euroskills is a fantastic way to do this”, President Leitl stated.

Professional training must be dynamic, not static

A World Economic Forum report this month set out how the labour market is set for radical changes as technological advances and artificial intelligence accelerate. President Leitl argued that this underlines the need for reforms: “The economy is evolving faster than ever, but unfortunately our education and training systems generally are not keeping up. Curricula must adapt based on feedback from the economy and so must the way in which curricula is taught. As well as acquiring technical skills, young people need transversal skills that will allow them to adapt throughout their career”.

EUROCHAMBRES calls in particular for the development of more effective vocational training and apprenticeship schemes in many member states, for the closer involvement of businesses in the design of curricula and for more dynamic and interoperable skills forecasting tools to be developed across Europe.

Medici Chapels.

 

"The Chapel of the Princes

 

This Chapel is yet another grand and striking mausoleum erected between 1604 and 1640 by the architect Matteo Nigetti following the designs of Giovanni de Medici, who practised architecture in a semi-professional manner. The Mausoleum, with its large dome and lavish interior ornamented with marble, was conceived to celebrate the power of the Medici dynasty which had successfully ruled Florence for several centuries. The octagonal room designed to contain the bodies of the Grand Dukes is in fact almost entirely covered with semi-precious stones and different-coloured marbles. The sarcophagi of the Grand Dukes are contained in niches and complemented by bronze statues . The inlay of the semi-precious stones, partially executed by highly skilled workers from the laboratories of the Opificio delle Pietre dure (see the related section, below) took several centuries to complete due to the difficulty of obtaining such rare materials that were available only at very high cost.

The interior of the dome was planned originally to be entirely covered with lapis lazuli, but was left incomplete at the end of the Medici period; the frescoes we see today were painted by Pietro Benvenuti in 1828 and feature scenes of the Old and New Testaments; these frescoes were commissioned by the then-reigning Lorraine family."

10675 The Machinist- The Southern Museum of Civil War and Locomotive History, 2829 Cherokee St. N.W., Kennesaw, Cobb, GA. April 27, 2014. Decimal degrees: 34.023480, -84.614347

 

“The Machinist”

 

“The Machinists working at the Glover Machine Works were undoubtedly the most skilled workers at the factory. The machinist, not only had to have a high degree of technical knowledge about how the varies pieces of machinery operated, but also needed to be familiar with algebra, geometry, calculus, & metallurgy. He used a variety of tools including dividers, calipers, squares, gauges, rules, and thread-cutting taps and dies. The machinist was an artisan, skilled in all aspects of metalworking.

 

Making a machined part to be used to build a locomotive, or other pieces of machinery, was an intensive undertaking. A pattern maker first made a wooden pattern for each part to be cast. The workers in the foundry used the wooden patterns to make a casting. At the foundry the patterns were set in special sand, removed, and the hollow space filled with molted metal. The machinist would then mount these rough castings in his machine tools and remove unwanted metal to produce finished parts. In some instances the machinist hand finished the rough castings. From a blueprint they marked the metal for the appropriate cuts, made the cuts, and using files and scrapers finished the part so that it fit the engine being assembled.

 

Machinest’s Toolchest, circa 1900

 

This machinest’s tool chest is typical of those used by machinists working at the Glover Machine Works. The numerous drawers and compartments of this chest help the machinest keep his precision tools organized and protect them from damage. The lock kept the tools from being ‘borrowed.’

 

This tool chest is also representative of the autonomy that skilled workers once enjoyed in America’s factories and mills. Factory owners and management may have been in command of the workplace, but master craftsmen, such as machinest’s, retained some sense of self-determination through their expertise and ownership of tools.”

Bust by Chantry of John Simpson 1755-1815 - paid for by Thomas Telford who called him a "treasure of talents and integrity"

Simpson was a Scot, probably trained as a mason, whose early career is obscure. He arrived in Shrewsbury in 1790 after the committee overseeing the rebuilding of St Chad’s Church had "resolved that the clerk inform Mr Bromfield that his assistance as surveyor to the Trustees is no longer wanted, and that Mr Steuart [the architect] be wrote [sic] to desire he will send down a proper person to succeed him [Bromfield] as superintendent of the work as soon as possible"’ That "proper person" was John Simpson, who was a bit expensive at a guinea a week and 3 guineas removal expenses from London (this was at least twice the wage of a skilled worker). But he was worth every penny as the complex and novel design of the new church required great skill to execute.

Soon after he arrived he met Thomas Telford and the two men became close friends. Telford used Simpson as one of his main contractors for bridges, roads and canals, both in Shropshire and much further afield, each year from 1804 until his death in 1815 to the wilds of Scotland where he supervised work on the western part of the Caledonian Canal. building the 9 consecutive locks that make up Neptune’s staircase.

Not only was Simpson a practical genius, but he was universally liked and admired. One contemporary called him "this most excellent of men". His obituary in the Shrewsbury Chronicle stated that "he was a man of the strictest integrity, generosity and benevolence; a warm and steady friend, a most affectionate husband and indulgent parent"

CHAPTER III THE FIRST SETTLERS. “No form of bronze and no memorial stones Show me the place where lie his mouldering bones. Only a cheerful city stands, Builded by his hardened hands, Only ten thousand homes, Where every day the cheerful play Of love and hope and courage comes. These are his monument and these alone. There is no form of bronze and no memorial stone." —Edward Everett Hale

 

The first white man to build a home at Pawtucket was Joseph Jenks, Jr., a skilled worker in iron and metals. He, no doubt, was induced to locate there because the water power was readily available to drive his forge and saw mill and the neighboring forests furnished abundant fuel. According to family traditions he is said to have settled at Pawtucket in 1655, but no authentic evidence exists that he was there at such an early date, only nineteen years after the beginning of the town of Providence. If he did come at that time he must have been so poor that he was obliged to hire land, and there is no hint or trace of any such transaction on his part in any record or tradition. Indeed, at that period it would have been a very unlikely thing for the Tubal Cain of Southern New England, with the capital already in the possession of his father at Lynn, to have become a tenant in the “barbarous Wilderness” of Pawtucket, which Roger Williams al1d Gregory Dexter less than ten years before the traditional date of Jenks’s settlement, had declared Was practically worthless*. He might, it is true, have been a squatter, but his subsequent career and his prudence and thrift all militate against that assumption. He was certainly living at Lynn in 1660**, as in that year he was imprisoned on a charge of treason for speaking disrespectfully of the new king, Charles II. At this time he was working with his father in the Lynn Iron Works, and according to the narrative “during some free and easy discussion with the other workmen or perhaps in a political dispute” at the tavern, he said that if he had the power he would cut off the king’s head and make a football of it, and also declared himself in favor of treating the new ruler as Charles I. had been served. His exact Words in the latter connection were ac-

ILLUSTRATED HISTORY or PAWTUCKET

with John Winthrop* the younger, and settled at Lynn. He is thought to have been one of the workmen engaged to establish the iron works on the Saugus River, the first in New England. At least he was employed there soon after the beginning of the enterprise. He is said to have been “the first founder who worked in brass and iron on the American Continent,”** but although this is probably an exaggerated statement, it is no doubt true that he was the first highly skilled worker in metals who began operations in the English Colonies in North America. Three years after his arrival, on May 6, 1646, the Massachusetts General Court granted him a patent for three important inventions, a water mill or wheel, a machine for making scythes and other edged tools, and a saw mill. He then purchased the right***, Jan. 20, 1647, from Richard Leader, the general manager, to build a forge at the iron works for the manufacture of scythes. Thus early he became an independent manufacturer. In I655 he obtained a patent for an improved form of scythe. That implement as it exists at the present day is practically in the form as improved by Joseph Jenks, Sr., and displaced the thick stub scythe previously in use. These inventions were of prime importance to the English settlers, as by their use the power of subduing the wilderness was rapidly increased, and the water power was rendered available in the work. These notable inventions were not the only achievements of Joseph Jenks, Sr. In 1652 he made the dies for the pine tree shilling coinage of Massachusetts; in 1654 built a fire engine for Boston; in 1667 conceived a project for starting a wire manufactory, but did not receive sufficient encouragement to go on with the undertaking; and in 1672 made a proposal to coin the colony’s money, which however was not accepted. That he was not a severe Puritan is evident from the fact that on Nov. 29, 1665, he was admonished for not attending public worship. The elder Jenks had married in England, but his wife died previous to his departure for America. He had two sons, young boys, who were left in care of their mother’s family. The elder is supposed to have settled in Virginia, but the younger, Joseph, Jr., according to the instruction of his father, was to join him in America when he came of age. Joseph, Jr., is said to have been born in 1632, and he is reported to have been with his father at Lynn in 1647, in which event he must have come to New England long before he arrived at manhood. He probably remained at Lynn until his removal to Providence Plantations, employed constantly in the workshop, where he benefited by the instruction and obtained a practical experience in the construction and operation of the inventions of his father. He married very early in life. That he must have had a good income, either in wages from his father or from an interest in the forge, is evident from the fact that his young wife was able to indulge in the luxury of fine apparel to such an extent as to call forth public censure. At a quarterly court held June 29, 1652, the records say that “Ester****, the wife of Joseph Jynkes, Junior,” was presented “ffor wearing silver lace.” Joseph Jenks, Sr., married again in Lynn before 1650 and by this union had five children, three sons and two daughters, of whom

Conditions were terrible, although Russian and Ukrainian POWs were treated the worst, with cases of malnutrition, death by exhaustion and disease among them becoming common. On the other hand, the voluntary workers often had much better conditions, being offered over four times the wages that they would have earned working in similar jobs for the States of Jersey, and often receiving extra food rations.

 

In late 1943, with the threat of an Allied invasion of Europe (Operation Overlord) becoming clear, Ho8 was to be converted into a casualty clearing station and emergency hospital. The hospital had 500 beds for patients, with a full heating and air conditioning system (although the rest of the tunnel complex usually maintained a constant temperature of about 17 °C (63 °F), due to its being built deep into the hillside). A system of gas-proof doors was installed to maintain a clean airflow in the tunnels, and a fully equipped operating theatre was installed. Unfinished tunnels were sealed off.

 

Despite the huge preparations and fortifications made to the Channel Islands, none were ever utilised. The occupying forces in the Channel Islands surrendered on 9 May 1945 (one day after the rest of the German forces surrendered). Ho8 fell into disuse, with British soldiers and souvenir hunters stripping the tunnels of equipment.

Governor Charlie Baker, Lt. Governor Karyn Polito and Secretary of Education James Peyser join state and local officials to announce investments totaling more than $120 million to four public colleges and universities to renovate and expand campus facilities that further students’ skills in STEM fields during an event at Salem State University in Salem on April 13, 2022. Salem State University, Massasoit Community College, Springfield Technical Community College, and the University of Massachusetts Lowell will each receive $30 million for major capital projects that will modernize campus facilities to support STEM instruction and expand the number of skilled workers in key STEM occupations in the Commonwealth. The improvements will increase enrollment capacity in these programs by about 2,000 students. [Joshua Qualls/Governor’s Press Office]

Workforce Development, Training, and Education

Success in today’s economy has been made possible by highly skilled workers. With the exponential rise in the advancement of technology, companies’ ability to educate, retrain, and reskill their workers has become a critical competitive advantage, while also yielding higher wages and social mobility. A shortfall in government support has increased pressure on companies to bolster their learning and development functions, forcing them to increasingly align with business strategies. This discussion will highlight practices to prepare a workforce to adapt and perform in an ever-changing landscape of technology and work environments.

Education, Training and Work Outcomes by Claire Noronha, Tanuka Endow and Aparajita Bhargarh. Presented by Claire Noronha and Tanuka Endow.

 

The work histories of the 76 young people all from our 4 qualitative research sites in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan reflected their struggles to negotiate a universe in which training opportunities and work opportunities were limited and erratic, and financial returns were low. Both financial resources and social networks were important even to access on-the-job training. Gender norms worked against women when it came to job training. Skills training appeared to offer more scope for diversifying family earnings than as a way of ‘escaping’ poverty. Even those at the highest levels of schooling/education and formal training – were getting low returns and were unable to transfer to ‘permanent’ employment in the formal sector.

 

Globalization and casualisation as well as over supply of skilled workers appeared to be important factors affecting employment.

 

Policy implications included the need to have a greatly augmented and supply-demand adjusted system of skills training, with different skill levels and certification mechanisms.

At the same time, there was an enormous need for other changes in the ‘enabling environment’ including better provisioning of loans and more transparency in the training and job market. Social security for the informal sector in which almost all respondents worked is another major concern. Many of these issues are already in the policy makers’ field of vision and the research is a small and, it is hoped, useful contribution.

  

After Hitler's October 1941 order to fortify the Channel Islands (as part of the Atlantic Wall), work began on a string of fortifications all around Jersey. Ho8 was intended to be a vast network of underground tunnels that would allow the German occupying infantry to withstand Allied air raids and bombardment (in preparation for an invasion). Forced labourers from the Organisation Todt (as well as paid labourers and skilled workers) were shipped in to Jersey and put to work building the complex. Many of the workers were Polish, French, Russian or Republican Spaniards. Conditions were terrible, although Russian and Ukrainian POWs were treated the worst, with cases of malnutrition, death by exhaustion and disease among them becoming common. On the other hand, the voluntary workers often had much better conditions, being offered over four times the wages that they would have earned working in similar jobs for the States of Jersey, and often receiving extra food rations.

On December 15, the Refugee Exclusion Act (Bill C-31, formally the "Protecting Canada's Immigration System Act") will be fully implemented.

 

* Mandatory detention: Many refugees deemed "irregular arrivals" or "smuggled", including children over the age of 16, will face mandatory detention upon arrival. Migrants will become one of the largest growing prison populations with Harper's prison e

xpansion plan.

 

* Denial of access to justice: Many refugees will be barred from accessing the Refugee Appeal Division and all refugees face even more restricted access to justice including a bar on certain legal avenues. All refugees will face onerously short time lines to file their claims.

 

* Denial of permanent residency: Even if actually accepted as refugees under this stringent refugee system, many refugees will still be denied access to permanent residency for a minimum of five years. While pathways to permanent residency for refugees, family members, and skilled workers are shrinking, the number of temporary migrant workers is increasing.

 

* Discriminatory two-tier system: Minister of Censorship and Deportation Jason Kenney can arbitrarily and unilaterally deem certain countries as “designated country of origin” i.e so-called safe countries that Canada will quickly deport refugees to. These refugees will also be denied basic and including emergency healthcare while in Canada.

Our look today is at one of the larger ride manufacturers on the States. Currently producing a range of amusement rides, roller coasters, people movers and giant wheels. Chance Rides operate from a 40 acre site with around 310,000 sq ft of buildings in Wichita Kansas. The area is regarded as the aviation capital of the world, and provides a large pool of highly skilled workers, along with many specialised manufacturers.

 

The C.P. Huntington Train

 

The original C.P. Huntington was a locomotive purchased by the Central Pacific railway, the third of their loco's in 1863. When it was sold to the Southern Pacific railway company it was named in honour of Collis P. Huntington, their third President.

 

The Original C.P.Huntington

 

Richard Harold Chance, who had originally been building small trains for the Ottaway Amusement Company since 1946, designed a 2ft guage replica of the Locomotive. In 1960 he began to build these using petrol, diesel, propane or electric engines for sale to amusement parks, zoo's and similar.

 

The very first one was delivered to the Joyland Amusement Park in Wichita. Replacing their original miniature train that had operated since 1933. It has been the most popular park train model since The Allan Herschell Company merged with Chance closing down the production line for their Iron Horse train. The company has built over 400 trains and coaches for customers around the globe. With prices running upwards of $200,000 for an engine and $60k or so for a coach.

European businesses are again optimistic about the year ahead, but less so than 12 months ago, while concerns about access to skilled workers have risen. These are among the main findings of the 2019 EUROCHAMBRES Economic Survey, the 26th consecutive annual assessment of European entrepreneurs’ expectations, based on responses from over 45.000 businesses in 26 countries.

Attending the EuroSkills Budapest Conference on 27 September 2018, EUROCHAMBRES President Christoph Leitl underlined the importance that education and training is in tune with the skills needs of the private sector.

As the economy evolves faster than ever due to technological breakthroughs, curricula content and the way it is delivered must prepare young people for emerging new opportunities and enable them to adapt to future needs that cannot yet be predicted.

The last edition of EUROCHAMBRES’ annual economic survey of over 50.000 businesses across Europe revealed a lack of skilled workers one of the greatest challenges. This is in line with a longer term trend, as the skills mismatch issue has been a problem for several years, in times of both high and low unemployment. “We have more graduates than ever in Europe and incredibly talented young people entering the labour force. But what good is this if they cannot find work and employers cannot find staff with the right skills? We must do better in ensuring that education prepares young people for current and emerging employment opportunities”, President Leitl said.

Euroskills plays an important role in addressing this persistent skills mismatch across Europe by showcasing the professional skills sought by many employers across a wide range of sectors. It is also based on a pan-European approach, which Chambers consider an important element in matching supply and demand. “Employers, policy-makers and educators must work together to ensure that vocational education is perceived by young people as a positive option that opens up excellent career opportunities and offers an international perspective. Euroskills is a fantastic way to do this”, President Leitl stated.

Professional training must be dynamic, not static

A World Economic Forum report this month set out how the labour market is set for radical changes as technological advances and artificial intelligence accelerate. President Leitl argued that this underlines the need for reforms: “The economy is evolving faster than ever, but unfortunately our education and training systems generally are not keeping up. Curricula must adapt based on feedback from the economy and so must the way in which curricula is taught. As well as acquiring technical skills, young people need transversal skills that will allow them to adapt throughout their career”.

EUROCHAMBRES calls in particular for the development of more effective vocational training and apprenticeship schemes in many member states, for the closer involvement of businesses in the design of curricula and for more dynamic and interoperable skills forecasting tools to be developed across Europe.
