One bit of wealth that is easy and free to share is knowledge.  When you learn something with intrinsic value, then pass it along so others can also be empowered. Here are two tidbits I learned today:

1. The best way to predict your future, is to create it (Peter Drucker)

2. (In Latin) virtus tentamine guadet: Strength rejoices in the challenge.  What could this mean to you? Are hard times ok? Are challenges a test of strength and virtue?  Share things with others this week. It's just as good (if not better) to give than to receive. Please see 4th of July details below!

  • Word of the Week: Mechatronic

    Find out more at FLCC
     
    Finger Lakes Community College has developed a new 12-week training program that prepares people for jobs in the expanding advanced manufacturing sector in the Rochester area.

     

  • The program, called mechatronic technology, was developed in cooperation with several manufacturers who cannot find workers with the right skills to fill vacant jobs.

     

    Students will study technical math as it applies to manufacturing, measurement, mechanical fundamentals, blueprint reading and basic electrical schematics. The program also includes necessary training for national industry certifications in electronics assembly and soldering.

     

    The first mechatronic technology session runs from Sept. 15 to Dec. 12 at the Technical Career Training Institute (TCTI), 7424 Victor Mendon Road (Route 251) in Victor.

     

    To gain admittance to the mechatronic program, students must attend an orientation and interview session scheduled for Wednesday, July 16, at 9 a.m. at the nearby FLCC Victor Campus Center, 200 Victor Heights Parkway (Route 251). To make a reservation for the orientation session or get more information, contract Andrea Badger at FLCC at [email protected] or call (585) 785-1906. More on the Technical Career Training Institute here.
