explained what the skills gap is auc. guess who absolutely. we are in the fourth industrial revolution. we are looking at urtula reality bioscience robotics and different technologies that are happening. it's really software and hardware and right now coming out of thein four year college e are not getting trained on the essential skills. in the private sector there a lot of students coming out of for a four year college and carrying 100 or $200,000 or for some of them they are carrying debt coming out of college and i can't get a job. within the doing is they are underemployed. these are smart young people and they are all underemployed working in a low-skilled job. they get stuck so i think in the public sector we have to do a better job equipping our young people with engineering skills to be productive in this economy. let's go the classic remedy to the modern skills gap for a public that is so focused on the traditional four-year college route to explain how apprenticeships programs work and how you think they can be expanded. guess who a

getting skilled labor to germany the emphasis is on skilled labor or physically people need to get there they had to grease. a check to paul people need to be to learn german as well learning a german language is not that difficult and for most jobs i would say that a 2 according to the. to the framework of learning a language in europe takes about 6 months that starts quite ok for learning that so there are some hurdles but i think that is that is doable all right and we have a minute to go do you think that this law will actually attract enough skilled workers in order to fill the vacancies we have i think this this act has to potential to attract a little for people to willing to work here in germany. if i see what other countries are doing as well we only focus on the people that are skilled as such and that that is basically the only the only hurdle that we have a forceful way for getting these people to germany right michael from their comment from the german employment agency thank you so much for your time you're most welcome. and that's your business update thanks for watching.

he‘d wanted to be a panellist but the producers knew his skill. the comic will have a good springboard to come back and make some facetious or humorous or witty response. and also you know how to take the joke at your expense because the comedian, the straight man in the relationship, is always the one that is put down. he was an absolute bbc and bbc radio legend. he was wonderful to meet, warm, generous, amusing, clever, and to host a show like that with all the contestants taking part in it, skill in that was amazing. and you know, to my view, to do that into your 90s, with such success, skill, such charm, i mean, well do you deserve the title 'legend'. and as the minute waltz fades away, once more it is my pleasure to welcome our many listeners... more than 50 years later, he was still in charge. never regretting that day more than 70 years ago when he‘d swapped engineering for show business. nicholas parsons, who has died at the age of 96. our top story this lunchtime: the chinese technology firm, huawei, is to be allowed to help build the uk‘

it's not all just the build and or the coding skill the programming skill. types of it's all skills that's actually being enhanced. that fleshes it out. it's great that rosen is here with us today. joke that we're the stem times just recently got passed. part of our mission has been to stem at a omen into young age. what is your experience with think we cando you increase the participation? not just women but other minority groups that are not represented in the stem field? thank you for this question. this is something i'm so passionate about. for anyone who feels their voice can't be her either because of their gender their socioeconomic background, race, or any reason a implicit bias against person. key step in advancing equity is culture. you need a culture of the rganization where people can rise on their merits. where they are not bullied out harassed out. so until there are about 30% of you on the team you feel alone. the most you feel like vulnerable person. i would just add to in a also experimental learning, things that we're working on, you can cr

by the way, full-spectrum of job skills from low to high skilled. coming from the private sector we had not been able to hire people for decades. we have for decades been telling young people you have to get a four year degree. we have made loans readily accessible, enticed our children to incur $1.5 trillion of student loan debt, providing them degrees employers don't value where there are real jobs. we have a welfare system that pays people not to work but let's not focus on that. let's talk about what we really need to do. i don't believe the federal government is effective at providing training programs. i'm trying to dissuade you from looking at the federal government to hop in here for workforce development. what i'm asking the associations to do, get into the private sector. get into high schools. we have to work with technical colleges to provide degree programs the industry needs. we need to get to our children and encourage them and let them know there is no first or second class way to realize their full human potential. all work has valu

it is not just the codeing skill. it is all types of skills being honed and enhanced. >> that fleshes it out. linda elkins-tanton, it is great that senator rosen is here today. we recently got a bill passed, the building blocks of stem act. part of our mission has been to draw more women into stem at a younger age. what is your experience with this? how do you think we can increase the participation not just of women but other minority groups that are not well represented? >> anyone who is listening i want to work with you on this, anyone who feels their voice can't be heard, or any reason there could be implicit bias. and advancing equity, is culture, you need culture of the organization where people rise on their merits, not harassed out, until they are 30% of people, you feel you are alone and you are the most vulnerable person. >> it doesn't matter if you don't have a good culture you won't have diversity. the experiential learning, the inquiry learning, you can create anything with a fabulous teacher with 30 kids

there's a lot of other skill there's a lot of other skill sets as well. you and i know seattle and spokane are leading the way on that. >> i went to your website, mr. miller. thank you for showing your daughters and showing the diversity of women who are needed in this field as well. i'm sure is a computer scientist you see the broad applications here and i think that is what we have to get people to see, that this is a big task area i like the fact that you mention the government should be involved several times. i agree, both on the training and making this happen. this is not a mystery. it's an opportunity and we need to seize it. >> thank you senator cantwell. senator tester. >> i want to thank you for holding this here -- that hearing, mr. chairman. i've always said sleep is overrated and you are putting that to the test. >> there are members of the house of representatives who agree with you. >> i want to follow-up on the questions senator thune had in that he talked about promoting a program with community college for tech training that would apply

it is an opportunity for skills labor in some way. bill, do you have another question for >> sure do. there are a lot of questions for the panel about looking back in time before the united states was exporting oil and gas to a time a decade ago and what that look like or suppliers and labor and small businesses across the country and what it will look like if we go back to a time where we were in a volatile situation? >> terry, you want to kick us off? i can tell you are ready. >> so correct me if i am wrong, the question was if we rewind and go back to a time where america does not have this kind of energy independent anymore, there is more volatility in the market because of policy proposals or otherwise, what does that look like for the organizations and the individuals that you represent, if we were to rewind and go back to the atmospheric ten years ago, what does that do to your constituency. >> if you unplug energy, it will have a dramatic impact on our organization, more importantly it will have a devastating impact on the men

so it's not all about the build skill, or the coding skill, andt the's programming skill, we try it's allbe types of skills that actually is being honed, and enhanced in these kinds of programs. >> and i think that really, really fleshes it out.day. elkins-tanton, it is great that senator rosen is here with me today, i joke that we're th stem times two because we just recently got a bill passed, the building blocks of stem act. part of our mission has been to draw in more women into stem, ae a younger w age. what is your experience with this? and how do you think we can not increase the participation? women, but other minority groups that are not well represented in the stem fields? >> thank you for this yquestios this is something that i'm so tn passionate about, and i. think about deeply,it's and anyone wh listening, i want to work with you onfeel this.s th ier think it's for anyone who feels that their voice can't be heard. either for, because of their or gender, or their socioeconomic background, or their race or any of the reasons there could be implicit bias against a person. an

well it's called the axle for getting skilled labor to germany the emphasis on skilled labor will physically people need to get there they had to grease. a check to paul people need to be to learn german as well learning a german language isn't all that if you're called and for most jobs i would say that a 2 according to the. the framework of learning a language in europe takes about 6 months that starts quite ok for learning that so there are some hurdles but i think that is that is doable chris cyprus and israel have signed a deal for an undersea pipeline designed to move gas from the eastern mediterranean to europe they east medline is intended to provide an alternative gas source for energy hungry europe which is largely dependent on supplies from russia then you have trilateral pipeline project comes amid tensions with turkey over its own activities in the area. the signing is a defining moment after 10 years of talks between israel cyprus and greece they want to build the longest undersea pipeline in the world the construction they estimate will cost $6000000000.00 this is a story befo

where we need to fill is the skill and potential skill gap.asia, and we are not alone, the potential skill gaps we are seeing in areas like cybersecurity, ai and machine learning. it is vital as an organization that we are supporting the growth of this industry. that is probably an area where we are looking at the skills that are needed for the future as opposed to any particular markets. haslinda: you talk about growth in the industry. are you hiring more? >> we are across asia, over 15,000 here at the moment, we are seeing growth in areas like southeast asia. it is predicted by 2025 -- haslinda: how many more people will you be hiring? >> we don't like to share. haslinda: you can share with us. >> we continue to higher. our growth is above double digits top and bottom line. we need to have people with pacific managing skills, ai skills, blockchain. we can never have enough of those people. we partner with universities and educational institutions, government to make sure they are bringing the right skills to market. we have a challenge with

they would not be classed as skilled workers under this scheme.ause some controversy, i think, if those definitions were adopted. now, of course, these rules on salary threshold would apply not just people from outside the european union, as they do at present, but also workers from within the eu who want to come and live and work in britain. now, the impact, you are talking there about the possible impact of all this, the immigration advisory committee has made some suggestions that if these changes were adopted, they would lead to small changes in immigration, and increasing productivity, improved public finances, less pressure on schools, the nhs and housing. but increased pressure on social care. the clear message from the immigration advisory committees that they are concerned about the pressures on the sector. the salaries being offered arejust sector. the salaries being offered are just not competitive enough to attract people to work in this particular part of the economy. and they say that by going down this route it would mean lower net

round of layoffs and then they are gone and the new workers with less experience with less level of skill is brought in to take their place so that seems like a discrimination and they tould be able to make that claim. >> the senate counterpart? >> there is a bill in the senate as well. it is a very bipartisan bill. >>host: what is your confidence level the president would signfi this quick. >> i would hope the president and administration if not businesses and communities so this is what i hear from constituents so i'm honored to chair the civil rights and human services but in fact the eeoc and it has been rolling back civil rights protections like the eeoc. summer pushing back on bad as well that is a compliment. >> good morning. thank you for taking my call. at age 41 after multiple mergers and having to change jobs many times, i finally landed on the street after yet another hostile takeover. it was a good ten years before i could get back in to corporate america. it was a nightmare. when i did get back in after not having a job for ten years. my salary was literally one half of what

if you can get the skills many different ways, then you can get a job.ho feels that he is out of opportunities learn ai and get a job at ibm? >> i have got veterans, you name it. as a fact in the program that ivanka started we have partnerships with the department of labor and over a hundred companies picking those frameworks and going with them. i am already up to 500 di year end moving. so to me it's a very scalable for everybody who is out there. >> that you have to be able to imagine it and that's part of this campaign. to realize that, you have to imagine yourself being able to do it. and as a focus on that next generation of american workers, we also have to focus on our workforce. suffer many people in america today, they do the same job today, they need to learn new skill. because the technology is changing and they need to be rescaled. we need to shift the conversation of this country where education is considered a lifelong pursuits, not compartmentalized to one very short. in the arc of one's life. because the reality, for many the jobs are hi

you can use unskilled and semi-skilled labor to actually build with these bricks. you only use a qualified brick layer when you do the foundadations and just the restf the structure when you have to put in the roofing. reporter: nhlanhla ndlovu makes his bricks out of old construction wasaste, so he doesn't need to use sand. that also means the bricks don't have to be fired in a kiln, which saves on energy. because the building blocks are interlocking, the pressure of their own weight is sufficient to make the wall strong and stable. it's an unusual way to build, but it's less of a burden on the environment than traditional masonry. nhlanhla: since we are not using the traditional building method, most people were a bit skeptical when it comes to interlocking bricks. especially when you tell them that you only use cement to build the structures. so having to have a pilot, this has kind of unlocked our potential clients. wewe now have people because ty can see, touch, and feel the structure. it is now more convincing for them to be even interested in the technology.

he'd wanted to be a panellist but the producers knew his skill.as a straight man you know how to throw out the lines so the comic will have a good springboard to come back and make some facetious or humorous or witty response. and also you know how to take the joke at your expense because the comedian, the straight man in the relationship, is always the one that is put down. he was an absolute bbc and a bbc radio legend. he was wonderful to meet, warm, generous, amusing, clever, and to host a show like that with all the contestants taking part in it, the skill in that was amazing. and you know, to my view, to do that into your 905, with such success, skill, such charm, i mean, well do you deserve the title 'legend'. and as the minute waltz fades away, once more it is my pleasure to welcome our many listeners... more than 50 years later, he was still in charge. never regretting that day more than 70 years ago when he'd swapped engineering for show business. nicholas parsons who has died at the age of 96. the comedian and writer barry cryer is on th
