The latest group of entrepreneurs to graduate from Block Dojo, the London incubator programme for startups building on the BSV blockchain, are sharing their ambitions on CoinGeek Conversations over the next three weeks.In the first show, two founders describe their business plans. First, Ash Yarro's Trackr HR is designed to bring technology, particularly AI, to bear on the inefficiencies of the highly-lucrative recruitment business. Ash was already an experienced entrepreneur. But when he talked to his girlfriend about her work in recruitment, he was astonished at what he heard: “it became apparent that there were just so many complexities and long, laborious processes within being a recruiter.”Ash realised he had found his next project. He contacted friends who work in recruitment and HR and asked to spend time with them at work to learn about their business. He says he discovered “so many problems in terms of fragmented systems, outdated practices and just so many spaces for top candidates to slip between the cracks”. Unlike in the working practices of lawyers and accountants for instance, he said, new technology was rarely being used.So how is Trackr HR going to fix that? Ash says it will be a “multipronged solution”. AI will be deployed right from the first contact between the recruiter and their client, to analyse conversations that describe the role the client wants to fill and the kind of candidate they're looking for. From that, AI will generate a brief. Then throughout the process, AI will continue to improve efficiency by analysing applications and video responses by candidates, saving the recruiter time and allowing a more systematic approach. Ash believes the business is ready for innovation.  AI is also an important component of Kofo Are's Thier idea. She describes it as “a mobile platform for the prevention of obesity and type two diabetes”. Her customers will be big businesses who want to improve the health of their staff - not least, Kofo says, because obesity costs companies $3,000 to $15,000 per employee per year. The first part of the idea is to give users an app that will track the exercise they take and their food and drink consumption. This information will then be used to recommend interventions - anything from changing your diet to something more ambitious: “We will match you with a health care practitioner who will offer interventions tailored to your specific needs. We'll also match you to groups on the platform because we plan to have communities where we group people based upon their risk. The purpose of the communities is because we believe in the power of peers: when you're in groups and you know you're suffering from the same type of disease, we tend to encourage one another to make the right choices around food, around exercise, around the hours of sleep.”One of the benefits of Thier, in the UK at least, is that it would take some of the pressure off the National Health Service. Kofo agrees that would be a “great thing”. But of course, working with businesses, she knows she also has to incentivise them financially, by pointing to the benefits they'd enjoy with fewer staff absences and by slowing the growth of ever-increasing health insurance premiums. Don't miss next week's CoinGeek Conversations, to meet more Block Dojo entrepreneurs.

There's an acute shortage of candidates for tech jobs – in fact, research suggests tens of millions of potential roles are going unfilled. In a poll with global technology chiefs conducted by MIT's ‘Technology Review', a majority found that they weren't getting enough candidates for roles, and those who did apply lacked necessary skills. Clearly, there's a problem here. So what can tech companies do to bring more talent through the door? Could building a baseline of investment in new, or even unqualified, talent be a solution?Joining us today is Maninder Randhawa, Early Careers Leader for Hewlett Packard Enterprise in the UKIMEA region, to find out if apprenticeships could be the answer.This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise.

You can even watch it on the web.Devin: What is your superpower?Janelle: I believe it's that I do not shy away from large challenges.Jobs for America's Graduates (JAG) is a “43-year-old national nonprofit created specifically to reach young people who may be facing academic, environmental, social, economic challenges,” says CEO Janelle Duray.“We wanted to ensure that they were invited to a program, that they could feel safe, that they could tackle those challenges and move beyond them and have the space to dream big about their future, to recognize their interests, their aptitudes, and then connect those interests and aptitudes to relevant opportunities in their communities,” she explains.There may never have been a scarier time to enter the workforce, with artificial intelligence threatening to dramatically change or eliminate many traditional roles, from truck drivers to the practice of law and journalism.Janelle says that preparing youth for lifelong learning is the antidote, enabling youth to have confidence in their ability to succeed in the long run.JAG operates with three pillars that support what it calls the JAG advantage: trauma-informed care, project-based learning and employer engagement.JAG was founded by state governors working closely with Fortune 100 companies, giving the organization a unique role as an intermediary between some of the best career opportunities in the country and the youth otherwise least likely to find them.“What I love about working so closely with leading companies, Fortune 100, is that when we develop these intentional partnerships across multiple locations across multiple states, they will say they learn just as much from our students as our students learn from them,” Janelle says.Since joining the organization, Janelle has worked to elevate the students, making them the focus of the work, moving corporate executives from the limelight–while strategically keeping them in the loop.Janelle uses her superpower, her ability to tackle large challenges, to make a difference in the world.AI Episode SummaryAI Episode Summary* JAG stands for Jobs for America's Graduates, a national program that supports young people in graduating high school and launching successful careers.* JAG's mission is to empower young people with the skills and support to succeed in education, employment, and life.* The program was created to reach young people facing challenges that hindered their success in high school and to connect them with opportunities in their communities.* JAG focuses on trauma-informed care, project-based learning, and employer engagement to support students in their education and career development.* Janelle Duray has been with JAG for 13 years and recently became the CEO, bringing her experience in the public and nonprofit sectors to the organization.* JAG works closely with Fortune 500 executives, governors, and employers to provide opportunities for students and build diverse talent pipelines.* Lifelong learning and adaptability are crucial in preparing young people for a future influenced by AI and technological advancements.* Janelle's superpower is not shying away from large challenges and being driven to be part of the solution. She emphasizes the importance of balance and enjoying the present while working towards future goals.* JAG has focused on positioning students as the flagship of the organization, investing in their leadership skills, and giving them a platform to advocate for themselves and their future.* To learn more about JAG, donate, or get involved, visit their website at jag.org or follow their social media channels at JAGNational. How to Develop Tackling Large Challenges As a SuperpowerJanelle grew up in a tiny town in rural Minnesota. “There were no stoplights in my entire county,” she says. Significant challenges appealed to her despite–or maybe because of–her situation. At JAG, she faced a big challenge. She wanted to shift focus and attention from the corporations to the students, making them the stars of the show. It was a big challenge in the context of a national nonprofit organization led and sponsored by the people she wanted to move out of the spotlight. A dozen years later, however, she can say, “mission accomplished.”For developing the ability to tackle big challenges, she offers a simple formula: “increments, increments, increments.” She adds that looking back can allow you to see progress and measure it.By following her example and advice, you can strengthen your ability to tackle large challenges. With time, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Guest ProfileJanelle Duray (she/her):President & CEO, Jobs for America's GraduatesAbout Jobs for America's Graduates: Our mission is to empower the nation's young people with the skills and support to succeed in education, employment, and life.Website: www.jag.orgTwitter Handle: @JAGnationalInstagram Handle: @jag.nationalFacebook Page: facebook.com/jagnationalBiographical Information: Janelle Duray has over fifteen years of experience in education and workforce development consulting and nonprofit management.

A Clare Teachers' representative believes the standard of education in local schools will rapidly deteriorate, if graduate teachers are not offered full-time contracts. A new survey by the Teachers Union of Ireland has found that between September and October, one if five schools were forced to drop subjects due to recrutiment difficulties. Maths, Irish, Construction, Biology and Home Economics were found to be the most difficult subjects to fill, while last year just 22% of newly appointed staff were employed on a full-time basis. Clare TUI Rep and Teacher at St.Michael's Secondary School Kilmihil Kate Hehir has been telling Clare FM's Daragh Dolan that the profession has become completely undesirable.

Show Summary In this podcast episode, Linda Abraham interviews Dr. Kevin Schulman, the director of Stanford's Master of Science and Clinical Informatics Management Program. They discuss the opportunities available at the intersection of medicine, business, and technology, and the problems that you can solve by combining these interests in your career. The program at Stanford combines business courses, technology courses, and ethics to train leaders who can transform healthcare delivery. The program is designed for working professionals and is a one-year, part-time cohort program. Graduates of the program can pursue careers as Chief Medical Information Officers, start their own companies, work in tech or industry, or advance in clinical leadership roles. Finally, the interview concludes with a discussion on the potential risks and benefits of technology in healthcare, and the importance of personalizing healthcare through technology. Show Notes What are the opportunities for you, if you're interested in the intersection of medicine, business, and technology? What problems can you solve if you combine those interests in your career? What education would you require? We're going to find out in this interview with the director of Stanford's Master's program and Clinical Informatics Management. Welcome to the 540th episode of Admissions Straight Talk. Thanks for joining me. Whether you are applying to a niche, innovative graduate program or more traditional one, the challenge at the heart of admissions is showing that you both fit in at your target schools and are a standout in the applicant pool. Accepted's free download, Fitting In and Standing Out: The Paradox at the Heart of Admissions will show you how to do both. Master this paradox and you are well on your way to acceptance.  Dr. Kevin Schulman, director of Stanford's Master of Science and Clinical Informatics Management Program is also Professor of Medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine and Professor of Operations Information and Technology at Stanford GSB. He is our guest today, and those are just three of his titles. He has several more, along with over 500 publications. His research focuses on organizational innovation and healthcare, healthcare policy and health economics, which leads us directly to Stanford's Master's in Clinical Informatics management or the MCIM.  Dr. Schulman, welcome to Admissions Straight Talk. [2:00] Oh, thanks so much for having me, Linda. My pleasure. I'm really delighted to be speaking with you. I saw an ad for the program online and it just felt like such a fascinating program that I looked into it and I thought, gee, it'd be great to have you on. So let's start with a couple of really basic questions. I am not a techie and I'm not a healthcare professional. I do have an MBA. What is clinical informatics management? [2:05] That's a great question. As you think about healthcare compared to other services that you receive on a daily basis, we're just lagging so far behind in terms of how we provide digital services to our patients, to consumers, how we do follow-up, how we provide education. So we wanted to build a program to help create leaders that will transform the delivery of healthcare in this country and around the world. To do that, we combine business courses and technology courses and ethics in a year long program for working professionals where we meet every other weekend. So my next question was going to be, can you give us an overview of the MCIM program, and you kind of just did that, but can you go into a little bit more detail about how it is structured and what is actually taught in the program? I mean, again, it just sounds absolutely fascinating to me. [3:06] So at a high level, when I first started a program like this after the HITECH Act in 2009. Oh wow, it was back that far? [3:27] I was at Duke at the time, it wasn't here, but our CIO said, look,

The boys need to study up for their next exam to keep up their good grades! Will they be able to figure out they have a mailbox? Who knows, not us that's for sure! We hope you enjoy the show!

Host of ‘You Are A Lawyer' Kyla Denanyoh shares her motivation for starting the podcast and how her legal education has impacted her career. She discusses the lack of content and conversations surrounding law school graduates who have not passed or chosen not to take the bar exam, and her desire to create a space for these individuals. Kyla also shares her personal journey, from her childhood dream of becoming a defense attorney to her current role as the operations manager of a law firm. Join us as we explore the stories of law school graduates who have forged their own paths to career success.Creating a Community for Law School GraduatesFrom Kyla's desire to create a space for law school graduates who have not passed or chosen not to take the bar exam, the You Are A Lawyer podcast was born. The podcast aims to celebrate the stories of law school graduates who have created their own paths to career success, regardless of their bar exam status."The assumption is usually that you will take the bar exam until you are victorious. With my mind on these whispered conversations about not passing or not taking the bar exam, I had a chat with an attorney friend who was unhappy with their career choice. They had questions about how I found my career, and I realized that all law school graduates have the common struggle of finding career success, regardless of whether they pass the bar exam." said Kyla Denanyoh on You Are A Lawyer.Kyla's own experience of not passing the bar exam and feeling a sense of disappointment and uncertainty also motivated the creation of the podcast. She shares how she initially grieved the fact that she had not passed the bar exam and didn't want to talk about law school or the bar. However, Kyla eventually realized that as a law school graduate, she was still a lawyer. This realization led her to embrace her law degree and share her experiences with others. The You Are A Lawyer podcast aims to provide a platform for law school graduates to share their stories and inspire others who may be navigating their own paths to career success.LISTEN TO LEARN The motivation behind the You Are A Lawyer podcast The importance of community for non-barred law school graduates How a law school graduate is still a lawyer, despite bar exam results WE ALSO DISCUSS Common struggles in finding career success for law school graduates Kyla's personal journey from childhood dream to now The definition of a lawyer Join the FREE mailing list!Get behind-the-scenes content from You Are A Lawyer. 1) Visit www.youarealawyer.com2) Add your email address to the Subscribe pop-up box OR3) Enter your email address on the right side of the screen4) Get emails from me (I won't fill your inbox with junk)!Interact with You Are A LawyerKyla Denanyoh hosts the You Are A Lawyer podcast. Follow the podcast:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@youarealawyerWebsite: https://www.youarealawyer.com

Routes into STEM – Could apprenticeships solve the tech talent crunch?There's an acute shortage of candidates for tech jobs – in fact, research suggests tens of millions of potential roles are going unfilled. In a poll with global technology chiefs conducted by MIT's ‘Technology Review', a majority found that they weren't getting enough candidates for roles, and those who did apply lacked necessary skills. Clearly, there's a problem here. So what can tech companies do to bring more talent through the door? Could building a baseline of investment in new, or even unqualified, talent be a solution?Maninder Randhawa believes so. He's the Early Careers Leader for Hewlett Packard Enterprise in the UKIMEA region, and spends his time building programmes to upskill the organizations new talent. He believes that, whilst there's absolutely a place for old hands, the fresh ideas and ability to adapt and mould that new talent brings makes them more than worth the investment.A case in point is Stu Franks of Alces flight, an HPC services provider. He began at the firm at age 18 as a school leaver, and now heads a team building and marketing services and solutions. He believes apprenticeships, like his own, offer a route to great talent that's not suited to academia but has all the practical talent and intelligence needed to excel in the field, and values demonstrable skills, personality and attitude above degrees and certificates.In order to attract young people into the STEM fields, though, they need to know about it. That's where outreach groups like Stemettes come in. They are a UK-based organization dedicated to reaching out to underrepresented groups in schools across the country, with programs to engage young people in STEM careers as an option, and provide mentoring and support for them to take their first steps. Floriane Fidegnon got into tech through the work of the group and now sits on the board, something her employer encourages as it creates a virtuous cycle of bringing in new talent, and encouraging existing talent like Floriane to become engaged ambassadors for the field.But what about the kind of soft skills that come with a degree – just not one in STEM topics? Erin Young is a case in point. She's a lead researcher for the Alan Turing Institute, which is dedicated to solving societal problems with technology. She came into the field from a background in classics, where her skills in research, reasoning and analytics, combined with a love of data analytics, made a move into tech a great – if seemingly disconnected – jump. Sources cited in this episode:85 million unfilled tech roles by 2030: https://www.kornferry.com/insights/this-week-in-leadership/talent-crunch-future-of-workMIT Technology Review poll with tech leaders on talent shortages: https://www.technologyreview.com/2023/09/21/1079695/new-approaches-to-the-tech-talent-shortage/STEM apprenticeships in the UK increased by over a quarter in the last decade: https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistics/apprenticeships-and-traineeshipsThe National Science Foundation report on the STEM workforce between 2011 and 2021: https://ncses.nsf.gov/pubs/nsf23315/report/the-stem-workforce#:~:text=The%20size%20of%20the%20STEM,2011%20to%2024%25%20in%202021UK government report into diversity and inclusion in STEM: https://committees.parliament.uk/publications/34531/documents/190060/default/ 

The president of a Midwest university is praising this year's graduates for the fortitude they showed throughout the pandemic. This week, Mary Immaculate College Limerick will see almost 2,000 students conferred with academic awards across the college's undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in education and liberal arts. Among those graduating are Clare footballer Cillian Brennan and Meelick native Lorna Murphy who'll both be receiving doctoral awards for their research. MIC President Professor Eugene Wall says because most of the graduates began their studies during the pandemic, their achievement is made all the more significant.
