Seeking Partnerships

The world is now witnessing one of the greatest technological transformations in history. Evolutions in technology and information have ushered in the globalization of the economic marketplace.

 This globalization is marked by tremendous advances in communications, travel, and free trade—allowing individuals unprecedented access to commerce from almost anywhere in the world. At the same time, American businesses now must compete in this global marketplace.  Additionally, global competition is typically seen as a national challenge. In reality, competition lies within regions where companies, workers, researchers, entrepreneurs and governments come together to create a competitive advantage in the global marketplace. That advantage stems from the ability to transform new ideas and new knowledge into advanced, high quality products or services—in other words, to innovate. Areas that are successful in creating a competitive advantage demonstrate the ability to organize ‘‘innovation assets’’— people, institutions, capital and infrastructure—to generate growth and prosperity in the region’s economy. These regions are successful because they have connected key elements such as workforce skills and lifelong learning strategies; investments and entrepreneurial strategies; and regional infrastructure and economic development strategies. As an entrepreneur whose focus is on our workforce development, I have developed Web-based learning and e-learning programs (learning that occurs via the Internet), in collaboration with our partners Cisco systems and Microsoft to strengthen the innovation assets of individuals by increasing their workforce skills and supporting lifelong Learning. An overview of some of the tools that will be used in our program can be found at http://www.aretemedia.net/solutions_training.html.  The objectives of our programs are :

(A) focus on expanding training opportunities that  develop demand-driven skills and competencies using web-based and e-learning tools that are sustainable and scalable;  (B) form strategic partnerships with recognized or emerging high-growth/high-demand industries, educational and training institutions, and the public workforce investment system;  (C) create robust provisions for user support in the e-learning framework including underserved populations, and all levels of computer and Internet technical proficiency; and (D) provide training leading to an industry or occupationally recognized credential, certificate, or qualification in a high-growth/high-demand field.  We have to date achieved a significant portion of our objective.  We are therefore seeking a partnership with, and a letter of commitment from, all interested  before the August 14, 2008. I have attached some documents relating to my capabilities. You can also view a short autobiography at http://wayleemgeorge.spaces.live.com/
