The document discusses workforce development needs for the growing home performance industry. It outlines the types of jobs available, from field technicians and analysts to sales and administrative roles. Training programs should emphasize both classroom and hands-on learning, target in-demand skills, and develop employer partnerships to help workers transition quickly into jobs. Policymakers can help by linking training funds to demand creation programs to match workforce supply with industry needs over multiple years.

The California Fair Pay Act (CFPA) has been in effect since January 1, 2016. The CFPA represents an aggressive effort to ensure pay equality by requiring equal pay for “substantially similar work”—placing the burden on employers to establish one or more specific defenses to any pay differential. Those defenses are narrow and difficult to establish, and the CFPA creates substantial penalties for non-compliance. Furthermore, under the CFPA, “pay” refers to wages or salary plus other forms of compensation and benefits.

We will examine the three pillars of successfully running learning as a business: standardization, technology, and resourcing.
For Learning to be a legitimate business, it must possess the infrastructure fundamentals that enables all other business units to thrive.
Successful business requires: your ability to produce a consistent and reliable product, the technology that provides you the visibility to lead and results you can measure, and your ability to effectively optimize your resources (internal and outsourced).
To effectively learn a business, you must:
Understand the secrets to successfully aligning your resources, including outsourcing
Understand the workflow technology required to run your organization as a business
Understand the challenges and techniques used to standardize development across an enterprise.
These are possibly the largest barriers to success and are most certainly the most notable areas that are subject to failure.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

101. Standards & Certifications Most common: BPI (5 types), HERS & HERS II Will be required by many programs to qualify for financing or incentives Companies will need at least one certified contractor to perform or oversee each job Not yet generally required on hiring by employers, but good investment in future Independent 3rd party QC likely to rise – creates business opportunities for experienced contractors
102. Industry Concerns Today: How can we hire people if we don’t first increase customer demand? As demand grows: How quickly will we be able to scale and find qualified workforce? When economy rebounds: Will we be able to keep good employees in this industry when other construction jobs provide more pleasant working environments?
166. Important to lay the groundwork now and get the infrastructure right

Editor's Notes
One piece of the overall green economy is the home performance industry. This sector alone has a large potential to create green jobs.Explanation of Efficiency FirstHome performance comprehensive whole-house approach to identifying and fixing comfort and energy efficiency problems in a home.Efficiency First is the national non-profit trade association that represents more than 750 home performance contractors across the US
Small: Entrepreneurs (founder plus a few subs)Mid-sized, home performance only (few, e.g. Recurve)Construction, HVAC or insulation companies adding home performance as an additional division/ serviceSupport service providers (ie. for-profit training, consulting, marketing & customer outreach)

BPI= Building Performance InstituteHERS Rater, HERS II from RESNET5 types of BPI Certifications:Building Analyst – go beyond a traditional energy audit to perform comprehensive, whole-home assessments, identify problems at the root cause and prescribe and prioritize solutions based on building science. Envelope – quantify performance and prescribe improvements to help tighten the building envelope (shell), stop uncontrolled air leakage and optimize comfort, durability and HV/AC performance. Heating – optimize the performance of heating equipment to help save energy and ensure occupant comfort, health and safety. Air Conditioning and Heat Pump – understand the role of these systems within the whole home and how to diagnose and correct problems properly to achieve peak performance. BPI Field Tech Cert coming out soon (probably first week of April)
Put screening in hands of trainers and employers: this takes issue away from CC.Many employers will not hire candidates with DUI (or other significant moving violations) because their company auto insurance company will not cover them under the company’s policy).Code requirement for crawlspace height (in California) = 18” high. Therefore, one must be able to WORK within that space whether they are auditing the home or performing the improvements.
Ie. JobsNow subsidy, WIB subsidizes first 90 days.
BPI field certification likely to be released March 31
Ie. many small companies, have just 1 contractor & subs. Need to engage these since they will create jobs but not necessarily have HR person
Training within industry as a model. As contractors, it’s very expensive to train people. ISLES Paying 50% of people’s hourly wage for 6 months. Encourage more of this.Goodwill has a subsidy for hiring people on the job. Could apply to this industry.JobsNow program in SF is another good example.
Scenario for rapid scaling, employees mainly trained by employers.Get employee quickly into work “Pyramid training” existing workplace provides crew leads and mentors who train and get incentivized for effective trainingMake sure there are discrete tasks for testing employee learning tied to receiving subsidiesAddresses ability to rapidly scale, screening who can do the job best/ who wants to do the job
For people with more time to do learning. Enough framework to teach multiple levels of employees. Could be at community colleges, training centers, etc.for more highly educated, skilled, motivated or experienced: This scenario is building towards auditors or pulling together the home performance concept for out of work construction people who already have some experience, could be sales, managing.Example?
Employers in CA can get subsidized labor. Some have 100% subsidized. Or certain percentage. Ie. JobsNow, Goodwill
