Santa Clarita Rotary Club Veteran's Project - Showing Our Fallen Heroes and Families That We Care

My Rotary Club, located in Santa Clarita, California, does great work in our community. Recently they honored the 8 young men who have given their lives for our country during the past three years. Watching the moving ceremony and dedication made me think about how fortunate I am to be a part of this caring community, as well as a member of the Rotary Club.

We always allow our guests to speak, and having former military is quite an honor. One of the speakers was a former member of the United States Air Force, and he described our community as an island. This brought some laughter, because Santa Clarita is located in the middle of the desert. He went on to explain that what he meant was that we were unlike other cities and towns in California in that we are so concerned with the families of these fallen heroes, and with helping the young men and women who are returning from their time overseas in the armed forces.

I also found out that we are one of the only states within the United States that does not offer a license plate to honor our soldiers. That would be a great thing if we could purchase that to start a fund to help these brave warriors and their families.

Our Rotary Club has a garden where we now have marble tiles with the names of those who have died serving their country. This is a great honor and it is important for us to remember that these people have made the ultimate sacrifice to uphold the values we all share.

Connie Ragen Green has been a member of the Rotary Club of Santa Clarita since 2006. Find out more about this club by visiting http://www.AdventuresoftheSCVRotaryBell.com, and find a club near you by going to http://Rotary.org.

What Are the Views That Employers Hold to the Certificate Fever?

For the recently hot social situation of certificate fever, employers have their own opinions.

One University investigated from 102 enterprises and institutions shows, 70% of enterprise leaders express the view that, although many university students hold many certificates, but they have paid less attention on their major learning and professional capacity. 30% of the leaders hoped the university student has the practical application ability. The standard to hire employee emphases on student's practical ability, this is the most employer's view.

Project Manager Mr. Huang indicated that, the genuine good company does not regard these certificates as important as you think; the qualifications certificate only indicates they have passed the related test, but it does not mean that university student has the ability which matches with the certificate. Therefore, the employer thinks the actual operative ability is of more significance.

(Shanghai) Power Advancement Company human Manager Li Xiangdong tells the university student do not place too much energy on various certificates. He said that, the students must understand many certificates are useless, in particular computer certificate. According to Li Xiangdong's introduction, the new staff all has three month-long training period in the his company, company in each month can carry on the inspection to their work, if the first month-long inspection result is not ideal, they will carry on the reminder and the suggestion to them, so is the second month. If they do not have any improvement, then they have to leave.

Meanwhile some employer regards more on the credentials. Bank of China Shanghai Branch Human affairs Training office director said, Bank of China must recruit more than 100 the university student every year, requesting English and computer capacity which the graduate must have stands out the most rigorous test.

The SenDa group a mister indicated that, they are willing to pay extra wage for the staff to get a certain technology certificate, some enterprises even give staff's wages difficultly according to the credentials rank.

University students may feel surprise to know the opinions of employers holds for them, for they regard it would be better for them to seeking a job and being more competitive among all employees with more certifications. Actually, this attitude needs to be corrected as soon as possible.
