The National College for High Speed Rail took a significant step towards opening its doors today, Wednesday 5 October 2016, as a key part of the Birmingham site nears completion.
Finalising the roof structure is a significant point in the construction phase and means the College is on track to open to students in September 2017 when it will provide the specialist training, skills and qualifications required to build HS2 and future rail infrastructure projects.
Along with its sister site in Doncaster’s Lakeside, the College - based in Birmingham’s university district - will play a vital role in ensuring Britain addresses the impending skills shortage in the engineering sector while upskilling the current workforce.
It is estimated that British businesses will need approximately 87,000 graduate level engineers every year for the next ten years and 30 per cent of the current workforce will need further training to deliver the demands of the High Speed Rail industry.

In an effort to align with the USAID Digital Strategy and recognize USAID Missions, Bureaus and partners that are empowering countries in a digital age, USAID launched the 2022 Digital Development Awards (the Digis), the fourth round of these awards. The Digis recognize and celebrate USAID-funded projects and activities that use digital technology to sustain open, secure, and inclusive digital ecosystems in order to improve measurable development and humanitarian-assistance outcomes. After receiving nearly 200 applications from USAID Missions around the world, five winners were selected for the 2022 Digital Development Awards, including USAID/Regional Development Mission for Asia: Digital Asia Accelerator, implemented by DAI’s Digital Frontiers.
As one of the fastest growing regions, the Indo-Pacific provides significant opportunities for businesses and citizens to participate in the digital economy. However, the region’s rapid digital transformation means that people and businesses without internet access or the necessary digital skills are being left behind from this new economic reality. Cyber attacks, combined with low awareness of cybersecurity issues, are a growing threat to the digital safety of citizens and businesses.
To respond to this need, USAID/RDMA developed the Digital Asia Accelerator (DAA). Implemented by DAI’s Digital Frontiers and part of the Digital Connectivity and Cybersecurity Partnership (DCCP), DAA used three main approaches to reach key audiences in Southeast Asia and Mongolia. These approaches included working with partners like Microsoft and WhatsApp for Business to provide targeted digital upskilling and cybersecurity support through training and coaching, creating opportunities for the MSME community to learn about digital policies that would affect their businesses to help them effectively engage policymakers on these issues, and partnering with artists, local media, and companies like Meta to develop creative communication campaigns to raise awareness and build capacity among citizens to employ key cybersecurity practices and hygiene.
One specific project was a Mongolian-based contest, “Only Mine,” aimed to raise awareness of cybersecurity. The contest partnered with Love Frankie, a social impact agency, and Viral Partners, a marketing and advertising firm to design and implement the campaign, which reached nearly 3 million Mongolians online. The dance contest winners, Tamir and Byamba, choreographed and filmed a video to the contest’s theme song, with lyrics centered on cybersecurity education. After the video won, its viral presence online helped push cybersecurity awareness and education across different cities and communities of Mongolia.
When asked how they utilized the dance as a story-telling opportunity, Byamba shared, “We wanted to help others realize that this is an invasion of personal space.”
The Accelerator’s ability to convene large-scale policy forums with leaders from participating countries, combined with an emphasis on youth engagement through informative educational content hosted on Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram, allowed the project to reach an expansive and diverse set of stakeholders.

A delegation of DUP representatives who met with the University of Ulster to discuss the closure of their childcare facilities at the Jordanstown campus.
rom Left - Right are: Alastair Ross MLA, Cllr Robert Hill, Ald Billy Ball, Paula Bradley MLA
Commenting after the meeting, Mr Ross said,
"The University of Ulster is well known for its 'widening access' philosophy, and the ability to provide child care for parents of young children to go to university is a key component of that strategy.
In recent weeks I have received a high level of correspondence from concerned students that the university is to close their nursery, and the impact that this decision will have on young parents studying at the Jordanstown campus.
At our meeting this morning we were able to examine a number of possibilities, including the possibility of a private provider or social enterprise taking over the existing facilities on campus. This option may be the best alternative as the university have said that they will work with interested parties to facilitate this if a suitable provider comes forward."
Paula Bradley MLA added,
"Given that the university are not going to change their decision to close the child care facility, we wanted to look at practical options for parents and staff at the nursery. I am pleased that the university have engaged with the unions and are in a position to work with staff to upskill them or help them transition to alternative work.
We discussed whether a deferral of the closure would be feasible, but this can often lead to difficulties as existing staff are already looking for alternative employment.
I believe that the meeting was a positive one, and I am content that the university will continue to do what they can to support student parents."
Ald Billy Ball said,
"I have asked for a list of alternative nursery and playgroup providers within the Newtownabbey area, and can help any constituents who are needing to find alternative child care arrangements. It is welcome that the university have also stated that they can provide support for patents who have to move their children from the existing facility to new ones in the area."
Cllr Robert Hill concluded,
"Whilst other public representatives simply issued statements, DUP representatives in the University area, both at council and Assembly level, will continue to search for practical solutions to difficult issues, and ensure that no constituents are prevented from attending university courses because of a lack of child care."

Agherton Parish, Portstewart, Diocese of Connor, has become the first Church of Ireland parish in Northern Ireland to employ professional parish nurses.
Noelle McNinch and Eileen Irwin will undergo training with Parish Nursing Ministries UK before taking up the role in a job–share capacity.
This initiative is important to the rector of Agherton, the Rev Malcolm Ferry. The two nurses will realise Malcolm’s vision of providing three–fold Godly care to the families of the parish, namely religious care, pastoral care and spiritual care.
This vision is outlined in his parish review, ‘A 360˚ Approach to Pastoral Care’.
The post of parish nurse was advertised in August as a part–time role for one qualified nurse. “When we saw the calibre of those who applied, the select vestry agreed that a team of two nurses with different skills would encourage and complement each other,” Malcolm said.
Since the parish review, a total of 20 people have offered themselves as pastoral visitors. They will now receive training from the parish nurses. “For the first time we will have ongoing supervision and support for our lay visitors, building on their existing strengths,” Malcolm said.
“In a large parish people, some people can get lost. This project to upskill our lay visitors has a sense of everybody building towards a people of God, helping, sharing, and being realistic in what that looks like in a modern world.
“The parish nurses will look for those who are most vulnerable – the elderly, people coming home from hospital, new mums and others. This is a holistic approach to pastoral care.” he said.
“An important aspect to these new appointments will be that the parish nurses are able to pray as part of the spiritual care of those being visited. When a person in authority prays with someone, it gives them a heightened sense of God’s peace and well–being.
“We are not replacing the doctor’s surgery or local hospitals; we are instead complementing those excellent services. The parish nurses will be advocates for the parishioners who need extra support.”
The nurses will visit the many different groups active in the parish to give advice and discuss issues such as mental health and nutrition, and will also run community events in Portstewart.
The parish plans to hold an informal ‘clinic’ following the Wednesday morning weekly communion. “These professionals are open to hearing the small voices of uncertainty. We think this is a gentle approach to caring. Building these new relationships will be embedded in our pastoral care. It is ground–breaking and God–honouring as we are trying to serve the people,” Malcolm said.
The parish nurses will not visit residential homes or hospitals where there are nurses on site, but will visit people in their own homes, particularly those who are isolated.
“By reconnecting people in the geographical boundaries of the parish to a church that cares, we want them to reconnect with a church that worships,” Malcolm said.
Eileen said she was ‘blown away’ by the role. “I have a long history of nursing, most latterly in the community, but with the constraints in the NHS you don’t get the opportunity to explore Christianity or faith,” she said. “When I saw this job, I thought ‘Wow, that’s what holistic nursing is all about!’
“What an opportunity in these days when there is so much mental illness and loneliness. This job is about signposting people to existing services and giving support from a Christian perspective on their journey.
“I am very excited to be able to share faith and nursing together. It is so new and innovative, it is just wonderful and an interesting new challenge of faith.”
Noelle said that when she read the job description, she realised that this post was definitely for her. “My nursing experience has involved school nursing, diabetes, elderly care and palliative care. I have gained counselling skills and have completed courses in youth ministry, pastoral care and recently the ‘Cornhill Course,’” she said.
“As a nurse, total patient care is my aim, and pain can be caused by physical, emotional and spiritual distress. This new role permits the nurse to use God’s Word, prayer and to spend time with parishioners in order to alleviate their pain and aid in the healing process.”
The Ven Paul Dundas, Archdeacon of Dalriada and the Bishop of Connor’s Commissary, welcomed the initiative. “As a diocese, we congratulate Agherton Parish and the rector on the development of this new concept of parish nurses,” he said.
“It is an exciting missional step for the parish in its witness to parishioners and their families. We trust that Noelle and Eileen will be used by the Lord in their new vocation in the parish and community of Portstewart.”
