Governor Tomblin, Senator Manchin, Community College System, Employers Join In
Dedicating New, Innovative North Central Advanced Technology Center
Fairmont, W.Va. (October 31, 2016) – The second of two state-of-the-art Advanced Technology Centers (ATC) in the state was dedicated today, when Governor Earl Ray Tomblin and U.S. Senator Joe Manchin cut the ceremonial ribbon celebrating the opening of the 65,416 square-foot, two-story, multi-faceted training facility to host customized workforce development and events at the I-79 Technology Park.
Governor Earl Ray Tomblin comments centered on how partnerships bring about positive changes in our state. “Here in West Virginia, we need a technically-skilled, highly-trained workforce. We need higher education and business and industry to work hand-in-hand. And we need to look around the corner to new innovations and opportunities that will make our state economically strong and competitive for the long haul,” said Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin. “Today, as we dedicate this state-of-the-art Advanced Technology Center, these innovations and opportunities are all around us. In these classrooms, our students will have the best technology at their fingertips and the opportunity to gain in-demand skills for the jobs we know need filled. As they earn their credentials and start their careers, their families and communities will be stronger – and our state’s future will be brighter.”
“Strengthening West Virginia’s Community and Technical Colleges is something I have been passionate about since my time as Governor,” U.S. Senator Joe Manchin said. “Today’s announcement is a testament to the CTC system, state and local officials, business investors and students who have worked together to advance these programs. The North Central Advanced Technology Center will help innovate our workforce training programs for West Virginia’s businesses and increase our students’ achievement.”
The West Virginia Community and Technical College System (WVCTCS) shepherded construction of both new ATCs (the South Central ATC in South Charleston was dedicated on August 19, 2014) through state-supported initiatives to help provide employers with well-trained, technically advanced workers. The North Central ATC, managed by Pierpont Community & Technical College, offers contemporary classrooms and ample laboratory space for programs such as Applied Process Technology, which includes three pathways (Advanced Manufacturing, Energy Systems Operations and Instrumentation and Controls); Petroleum Technology; Laboratory Assistant; Electric Utility Technology; Medical Laboratory Technology; and Health Information Technology. Through collaborative partnerships and private support, the ATC will play an essential role throughout North Central West Virginia in providing the latest technologies, programs, and expertise to increase regional economic growth; focusing on job creation; fostering economic development; and encouraging more students to enter Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) careers.
The concept of authorizing and funding the two ATCs to serve the state’s growing workforce training challenges emerged when Governor Tomblin was West Virginia Senate President and Senator Manchin was Governor. “For our employers to be competitive and our citizens to gain much-needed skills, the Mountain State must be able to have the advanced facilities to produce a highly educated technical workforce,” said Pierpont Community & Technical College President Johnny Moore. “The new ATC in Marion County will be a tremendous asset – a world-class facility offering quality educational programming allowing our workers and employers to be competitive in a global market.”
“Pierpont’s new North Central Advanced Technology Center is needed to prepare students for careers in an expanding technology industry which is poised for growth in West Virginia. By providing quality workforce-training and educational opportunities through its challenging programs, this new facility will contribute to the success of this institution and its students,” said Senator Capito.
Leaders from energy, chemical, healthcare, emergency management and information technology industries are taking advantage of the ATC’s spacious, private and technologically-diverse features.
One such partner is FirstEnergy Corporation. Holly Kauffman, President of West Virginia Operations for FirstEnergy, sees benefits in partnering with Pierpont. “Our partnership with Pierpont is a successful example of how business and education can work together to create opportunities for our next generation to be successful right here in West Virginia,” said Kauffman.
Community and technical colleges in the Mountain State and nationwide are being counted on for leadership in improving energy innovation, advanced manufacturing and healthcare technology fields, as skill needs are rapidly changing and technology in the workplace is becoming more prevalent. To build capability, the West Virginia Community and Technical College System and its industry partners are competitive in pursuing federal training dollars and using flexible state resources such as the “earn and learn” program. Recent federal grant successes include the $25 million “Bridging the Gap” award, a $5.2 million award for training dislocated workers, and a $4 million TechHire award.
“By 2020, sixty-five percent of jobs will require some form of postsecondary education,” said WVCTCS Chancellor Sarah Tucker. “It’s imperative that we increase accessibility to community and technical education, so that we can supply a highly skilled workforce for our current employers and attract new businesses to our state. The completion of the second Advanced Technology Center will give more West Virginains the opportunity to get the education needed for high-paying, high-demand careers.”
The Governor, Senate Manchin and guests took a tour of the facility to learn more about the programs and state-of-the-art equipment housed at the ATC. Faculty and students were on hand for demonstrations and to respond to questions.
The West Virginia University Army ROTC color guard presented the colors and Rev. D. D. Meighen, retired pastor at Central United Methodist Church, offered the invocation. Property for the North Central ATC was donated by the High Tech Foundation.

Nearly all cord-nevers (mostly millennials) increased in a period where unlawfully streaming content was standard now, this same audience is realizing the need for having to pay for top-quality, virus free content from trustworthy services. For media companies and content proprietors, software development Malaysia is really an chance to produce new causes of revenue.
Now you ask ,, how?
Data
Product Metrics
We’ve designed in length about how exactly metrics - Quality of expertise, Service quality, and Product/Business metrics - may be used to enhance the overall customer experience. The concepts affect attracting and retaining both cord-nevers and cord-cutters. Using data to know your clients (the way they are viewing content, what features they're using, their preferences) is important to offering the type of personalized encounters individuals are seeking.
Value
Individuals who've cut the cord and have developed without traditional pay TV realize that software development Malaysia obtain the entertainment encounters they need from alternative sources and services - frequently in a lower cost point. Yet, additionally they search for value from all of these alternatives. Quality of content, number of content, consumer experience, etc., are key elements within the decision-making process.
Content proprietors may need to look at how they may add value using their existing products or via new items. What else could you offer the competition doesn’t? Is the prices aligned using the marketplace? Will the experience you are offering meet or exceed user expectations? Basically, are you currently offering value that isn't available elsewhere?
Versatility
Probably the most unappealing reasons for traditional pay TV is the possible lack of choice, from when and where you will see content, as to the content you have access to. Cord-nevers and cord-cutters are eschewing this model because of the quantity of alternatives available. With devices like Apple TV and Roku available, more TVE and OTT options entering the marketplace, and services like Netflix and Hulu Plus ongoing to emerge, choices is only going to increase.
Like a content provider, attractive to this audience is all about diversifying that which you offer (and just how you are offering it). There's lots of value put on versatility, so offering a number of options - mobile, OTT, SVOD, TV Everywhere, etc. - is the easiest method to capture an more and more mix-platform, multi-device audience.
While cord-cutting is a top concern for media and content companies, cord-nevers may really be considered a bigger threat towards the established order. Because software development Malaysia be prevalent, the businesses who win would be the ones that can comprehend the mobile-first mindset, offer personalization and versatility, and supply the type of content encounters this group values so highly.
Above California. Somewhere east of Los Angeles pockets of development spread into the desert like viruses. I wonder what the metaphoric antibiotic would be to stop this stuff? No doubt if it were ever found the development viri would mutate and continue spreading.

Dr. Joe Hummel presents Async and Parallel Programming in .NET
www.pluralsight-training.net/community/blogs/drjoe/
Need to make your apps more responsive? Run faster? On today's multicore hardware, async and parallel programming may be the answer. This talk will introduce the new Task-oriented programming model in .NET 4, discuss its underlying execution, and demonstrate some of the higher-level constructs and patterns supported by the Task Parallel Library. A number of examples will be presented; and if time permits, we'll compare and contrast parallel programming in C# (imperative) vs. F# (functional) vs. LINQ (declarative).
