Learning Objective: Increase knowledge awareness of employment opportunities for veterans in the energy field
When you get past the defense department jargon, itâs clear that the men and women returning from military service bring with them an array of skills, invaluable experience, and a work ethic second to none on the globe. Veterans return home to the United States with the knowledge that they have proven themselves in some of the most challenging remote environments in the world.
Military veterans, regardless of their particular areas of service, have all had:
⢠Intensive exposure to advanced technologies, even in careers in traditional "ground-pounder" forces.
⢠Extensive, government-paid education and training, in some of the world's best schools.
⢠Long experience working in remote, outdoor environments
⢠Extensive familiarity with jobs requiring work shifts longer than the traditional, eight-hour workday, and
⢠A highly developed sense of personal responsibility for the lives, welfare and safety of their colleagues, because of their training, operational requirements and the exposure of facing off against hostile foreign forces, while often at the same time facing up to unpredictable weather forces that often seem equally hostile.
This workshop will attract high interest from senior military officers as well as line and staff officer attendees.
At the end of this seminar, participants will be able to:
a. Examine strategies to discern the military resume and qualifications.
b. Explore the skillsets that military veterans can add to the corporate environment.
c. Discuss recruitment techniques for increasing veterans in the energy workforce.
Financial Planning for the Second Half of Lifemilfamln
Â
The United States has an increasingly aging population including baby boomers age 50 to 68 (in 2014). Older adults face unique financial planning challenges. These include making irrevocable decisions about claiming Social Security benefits, selecting Medicare supplement health insurance and long-term care insurance, selecting income-based investments (e.g., annuities), making sustainable retirement asset withdrawals, and calculating required minimum distributions (RMDs) due on tax-deferred savings plans such as traditional IRAs and the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP). This 90-minute webinar will âpackageâ together 15 key later life financial planning topics that older adults and the practitioners who serve them need to understand and address. Topics that will be covered in the webinar include:
Common financial errors of older adults
Statistics about older adult finances
Common later life financial characteristics and required decisions
15 key later life financial planning topics (e.g., creating a retirement âpaycheck,â required minimum distributions, untitled property transfers, and leaving a legacy)
Personal finance resources for older adults and financial practitioners
Participant interaction will include discussing workable financial planning strategies for older adults, older client errors and âblind spots,â older client success stories, and more.

Military recruiting strategies - Minnesota Recruiters 10/5/12Ryan Stene
Â
Ryan Stene will lead a discussion for the Military Recruiting Session. He will take you through the discovery of why your company should focus on hiring Military professionals and how a company of any size can recruit these types of candidates. He will also show you how your HR department can become a profitable line of business for your organization by hiring veterans. On a personal note, Ryan has been extremely passionate for Military recruiting as his brother is currently serving on his final tour in Afghanistan with the US Marines.
Our government has been busily churning new employer regulations in the past year. This week I presented to a group of management and HR professionals concerning recent developments in this area, including the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission's recent attention to discrimination claims related to pregnancy, sexual orientation and transgender status, gender identity, disability accommodations, and leaves of absence; the Department of Labor's requirements under the new white collar overtime exemption rule; the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's new rule requiring certain employers to electronically report workplace injuries and revealing the agency's position regarding automatic drug testing after an on-the-job injury report; and the National Labor Relations Board's efforts to impact non-union (yes, non-union) workplaces by holding that common rules found in employee handbooks (e.g., expectations regarding confidentiality, audio recording bans, respectful behavior, to name a few) are illegal under the National Labor Relations Act. Many thanks to my colleague Alexis Knapp who shared her original powerpoint with me, giving me the head-start I needed to edit and tailor this to my audience. Feel free to peruse and please don't hesitate to let me know if you have any questions.
This is a short presentation to accompany a collection of case studies and evaluations I did while pursuing my MBA.It covers a VERY brief description and comparison of the management aspect of healthcare and healthcare sciences.

At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
Â
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder
Cracking the Workplace Discipline Code Main.pptxWorkforce Group
Â
Cultivating and maintaining discipline within teams is a critical differentiator for successful organisations.
Forward-thinking leaders and business managers understand the impact that discipline has on organisational success. A disciplined workforce operates with clarity, focus, and a shared understanding of expectations, ultimately driving better results, optimising productivity, and facilitating seamless collaboration.
Although discipline is not a one-size-fits-all approach, it can help create a work environment that encourages personal growth and accountability rather than solely relying on punitive measures.
In this deck, you will learn the significance of workplace discipline for organisational success. Youâll also learn
⢠Four (4) workplace discipline methods you should consider
⢠The best and most practical approach to implementing workplace discipline.

to discriminate against a job applicant or
an employee.
⢠Most employers with at least 15
employees are covered by EEOC laws (20
for age discrimination cases). Most labor
unions and employment agencies are
also covered.
http://www.eeoc.gov/eeoc/
4. ADA - Americans with Disabilities Act
⢠Prohibits discrimination against people
with disabilities.
⢠As it relates to Vets â It would make it
illegal for an employer to refuse
employment because a vet has PTSD, or
the employer thinks they do.
http://www.dol.gov/dol/topic/disability/ada.ht

8. Reasons Hiring Managers/Recruiters donât hire
Veterans
⢠Reading a Vets resume- Most hiring
managers/recruiters lack the training needed to
read and understand a military resume.
⢠Inability to sell themselves- The military is about
mission, and team not about the individual.
⢠Skills- Most hiring managers/recruiters do not
understand how to translate military skills.
⢠Fit in the Organization- Hiring managers look for
fit and culture, there for concerns about PTSD,
regimental, etc. Monster did a Veteran Talent
Index survey that showed over 20% of employers
had major concerns about post 9/11 PTSD Vets.
44% believe they are more likely to abuse drugs
and alcohol.
9. Response is Lack of Knowledge
⢠Resume reading-lack of training.
⢠Selling themselves âwe use words like us, we,
team not I and me, so just extra probing and
training will fix this. Lack of training
⢠Job translation-a training issue
⢠Fit and PTSD-A recent Gallup-Healthways-Well-
Being Index survey showed that as a whole
active-duty and veterans are more emotionally
resilient than their civilian and non veterans
counter parts. Misconception due to lack of
training. 30% of vets have PTSD, and 90% of
civilians who experience a trauma of any kind
have PTSD, however Vets are trained to handle
PTSD Civilians are not
10. Vet concerns
⢠Edelman Berland a highly respected global
marketing research firm, did a survey showing
over 28% of vets âfeel that being a vet makes
it harder to find a jobâ.
⢠Same Survey showed over 23% feel that when
they speak to employers they do not get any
respect.
⢠Over 16% feel they have to defend themselves
against âpsychological or emotional trauma
accusationsâ
11. Why Military/Veterans
⢠Remember when we say Military this
includes; Army, Air force, Navy Marines,
Coast Guard, Reserves, and National
Guard.
⢠About 200,000 service members leave the
military each year.
⢠There are about 23 million veterans, over
11 million under age 60. About 8% of
civilian Population are vets
⢠Relocation, when a vet gets out they can go
any place in the US and the military pays
for it.

allowing a military/veteran to get additional
education/training. http://gibill.va.gov/,

Given all the info provided here is a simple example of what a search string might look
like, looking for an ex Army person who is in Criminal Justice and a top secret security

jobs, example, sample
~resume âCriminal Justiceâ (Army OR USARMY
OR âArmy Reserve â OR âArmy Reservesâ or
USAR OR U.S.A.R.) -job -jobs -example âsample
Keep in mind you can substitute subject and title for url and substitute bio, CV, or
âcurriculum vitaeâ for resume. Also you can use the pipe â|â instead of OR in Google,
and you do not need to use âANDâ in Google.
Also notice no mention of rank, main reason is not a lot of vets put their rank on their
resume anymore
***** Remember to do your research first*****

⢠What type of Discharge did you receive? Only
ask if the job requirement involves a security clearance.
⢠I noticed your in the National Guard/Reserves.
Are you going to be called up for duty anytime
soon. No No like asking someone their nationality. USERRA
⢠Did you see any action over there, or any
question that could hint at wanting a
disclosure of possible disability. You cannot ask
them about a disability. You can ask if they read the job
description and can perform the essential functions but that
is all. Disability-Title 1 of Americans with Disabilities
Act(ADA)
⢠Any question about Disability-Title 1 of
Americans with Disabilities Act(ADA)
39. Questions you can ask
⢠Whether they served in the military.
The applicant can refuse to answer

required to give: Period of service,
Rank/Grade, Type of training and
work experience.
40. Transition Assistance Program (TAP)
⢠The Transition Assistance Program (TAP) was
established to meet the needs of separating
service members during their period of transition
into civilian life by offering job-search assistance
and related services
⢠Some of the services for employers include; job
postings, job fairs, resume searches, hiring alerts,
and more.
⢠Every base or installation should have a transition

59. ⢠Research all laws, policies and procedures
related to hiring veterans. Distinguish
between absence for vacation and an
absence for service, include in Employee
Assistance Program (EAP)
⢠Come up with a viable complete process,
that will identify Vets as they come and
ensure all vets are considered, and all vets
are communicated with.
⢠Create a dedicated budget for VET hiring.
Framework Checklist

above and beyond what the laws say, for

who is also a reservist their salary if the get
called up for some reason?

mobilized

with them.

in based on location, and likely population of
veterans that fit your openings.

company, Apply for formal recognition as
an employer that is supportive of the
military, career fairs, ensure your jobs are on
vet boards, etc.
Framework Checklist Cont.
62. Framework Checklist Cont.
⢠Get Social with regards to your Vet program, this
includes talent communities, outreach programs,
blogging etc.
⢠Ensure your career site is vet friendly, and have a vet
specific page, things to be on it; career fairs, outreach
opportunities, ability to send txt messages as
reminders of company vet programs, fairs, outreach,
add VIDEO Day in the Life (DIAL) of vet working at
company, newsletter, partnerships with vet service run
orgs, quote positive vet hiring stats and data, highlight
special vet programs, vet awards, info to help Vets such
as resume writing, job boards, etc, links to other
websites of interest, highlight accommodating of
disabled vets, etc.
63. Framework Checklist Cont.

BACKING, AND CHAMPIONING OF THE

⢠USE YOUR INTERNAL NETWORK OF VETS.
65. Posting and Marketing you program
⢠Jobs- make sure you write a JD that will
appeal to vets, meaning use some military
terms, makes sure somewhere you talk
about how vet friendly you are. In other
words optimize your JD for your audience.
⢠Use the right hashtags- #vet #vets #military
#veteran etc., also follow them to keep up
on Vet stuff.
⢠Make sure to Market the fact you are
veteran friendly.
66. Additional Considerations
⢠Keep in mind it is not just about hiring a veteran it is
about helping a veteran. We are a small community
that talks and takes care of our own. Helping a veteran
now, can lead to hires in the future.
⢠Ensure there are vet support groups or the like within
your company, create a VET on boarding program,
Ensure there is a specific POC within HR for VETs,
added points if they are a vet, recognize VET
employees on VETs day and Memorial Day etc, .
⢠Also remember when hiring a veteran that some of
them may have additional commitments to the Armed
Forces. There are guideline for these commitments and
what responsibilities a company may have. See
USERRA for more info.

********************
67. Additional Considerations
Keep in mind the Veteran community is a very
close knit, and tight group, they talk, Vet
organizations talk. Treat them right and they will
keep coming, treat them bad and they will stop.
I am constantly searching for info on finding,
hiring and helping vets. The link below is to my
website and specifically to the vet part so check it
out for updates.

⢠The data tells us that the unemployment rate
for veterans who have served since 9/11
stands at 10 percent. 12.5 for those with
disabilities.
⢠Licensing issues, 10,000 military health-care
workers or 10,000 military truck drivers who
left the armed services last year often have to
pass new tests and go through a fresh set of
licensing hurdles in order to get a job as a
civilian EMT or truck driver â even if they
already have the required skills.
