There's an expectation it will take two years to get the number of international students in vocational education back to pre-Covid levels. There were about 75-thousand international students in New Zealand last year - 40% less than a peak in 2016. Vocational Minister Penny Simmonds says told Ryan Bridge centralising Polytech's into Te Pukenga is a big factor, as it caused a financial mess. She says it's been a nightmare, which is being unpicked. Te Pukenga is being disestablished by January, with power then going back to individual Polytech's.

Why do some wounds never fully heal—no matter how much inner work we do? In this transformative episode, psychological astrologer AstroViktor reveals how your birth chart holds the hidden blueprint of your deepest emotional wounds—and your greatest potential for healing. Through the archetype of Chiron, the Wounded Healer, AstroViktor takes us on a soul-level exploration of childhood rejection, subconscious imprints, and the subtle ways we recreate pain through repetition compulsion. This isn't about prediction—it's about power: the power to understand the story behind the pain, the unmet need beneath the pattern, and the purpose encoded in your suffering. Drawing connections between Saturn, the 12th house, archetypes, and asteroids like Nessus and Hygieia, AstroViktor invites us into a richer, deeper view of astrology—one where healing becomes a conscious choice and your chart becomes a sacred map to integration. If you've ever felt stuck in old trauma loops or struggled to accept the parts of yourself shaped by pain, this episode will help you reclaim your story—and your soul. About AstroViktor AstroViktor is an internationally respected psychological astrologer and teacher, known for his extraordinary ability to translate ancient astrological wisdom into practical tools for transformation. With roots in Hungary and a spirit that spans the globe, Viktor’s work blends classical techniques, Jungian psychology, and modern esoteric knowledge into a method that is as precise as it is intuitive. His specialty? Vocational and psychological astrology—guiding individuals toward purpose by unpacking core wounds, inner narratives, and energetic blocks encoded in the birth chart. A student of psychology and metaphysics, AstroViktor’s approach is bold, raw, and refreshingly real. Whether he’s unpacking the deep meanings behind planetary alignments, offering remedies that go beyond crystals and rituals, or challenging you to master the “hard” planets like Saturn and Mars, AstroViktor speaks with a voice that is both compassionate and catalytic. In addition to private readings and global webinars, he's a highly sought-after teacher, sharing practical astrology training and profound Chiron workshops that empower his community to use their natal chart as a roadmap, not a verdict. His mission? To help you stop fearing your wounds—and start living your purpose.

We all do different types of work in our lives. Ministry work. Vocational work. Domestic work. Gardening work. But in work, we may experience foes that undermine our work. They disrupt schedules. They erect barriers. They undo our work. They oppose us. How do we experience favor when we encounter foes that undermine our work?

Pastor Daryl Crouch of Everyone's Wilson responds to a question from a listener about bi-vocational pastors in Africa and looks how in some ways pastors in the US may be overly professionalized.  In reality, we're all bi-vocational.  He also talks about Mother's Day. Kerry Hasenbalg, author of "The Way of Becoming," shares about the pain being a mom after a miscarriage, and about standing in hope in the midst of life's chaos.  Her poem "I Will Stand" became a theme song for this year's National Day of Prayer.   Faith Radio podcasts are made possible by your support.

The Massachusetts Department of Education proposes that state vocational schools use admission lotteries. This proposal comes after years of criticism by some claiming the current admissions process at Vo-techs across the state, lock marginalized students out. Instead of ranking applicants on selective criteria like grades, recommendations from guidance counselors, and personal interviews, schools would be limited to using attendance and discipline as screening criteria for students to enter the lottery pool. Jamie Gass, the director for school reform at the Pioneer Institute checked in with Dan to discuss.Listen to WBZ NewsRadio on the NEW iHeart Radio app and be sure to set WBZ NewsRadio as your #1 preset!

Send us a text“A rising tide lifts all boats” is an aphorism popularized by President John F. Kennedy in 1963. It's used by economists and politicians to convey the idea that economic improvement will benefit everyone involved in the economy.

Pastor Jon exhorted us to imagine the history shaping impact of a community of people living on vocational mission by committing to lives of contending prayer and redemptive work, and invited us to be a part of it.

Vocational training is often seen as a silver bullet for unemployment and poverty, but does the evidence support that view? Why do so many training programs fail to lead to real job opportunities, and are we asking too much of these programs – or maybe the wrong questions entirely?

Shareable Quotes: “I'm so thankful for the leaders who discipled me and then even let me start serving, knowing that I was going to make a mess of things, but who also knew that serving would be a part of that journey.” – Shane Pruitt “It's a combination of the Lord putting burdens and passions on your heart and then people speaking into your life, and doors of opportunity opening up.” – Lacey Villasenor “Your primary job is to focus on the depth of your ministry, sit at Jesus' feet, and grow in godly maturity, character, wisdom, and integrity. Then, the Lord will take care of what the platforms look like.” – Shane Pruitt “God is a lot more likely to direct us if we're moving full-speed towards His mission.” – Paul Worcester “God is not the changing God who changes His mind on things. He's consistent. So, if He called you to something, He's not going to call you out of that thing unless He releases you.” – Mauricio Villasenor “It’s good to be patient. When you have a call to ministry, it doesn't mean you're going to be on stage rocking the mic right away. Sometimes, you grow into ministry; you don't go into ministry.” – Paul Worcester

In this conversation, Jeff Utecht and John Gardner discuss the critical role of manufacturing in the American economy and the importance of education in preparing students for careers in this field. Gardner emphasizes the need to change perceptions of manufacturing, highlighting its high-tech nature and the lucrative opportunities it offers. They explore how K-12 education has shifted away from vocational training, leading to a shortage of skilled workers. The discussion also covers the importance of real-world applications in education and creating pathways for students to succeed in manufacturing careers. Key highlights of this episode include: +The manufacturing industry faces a potential shortage of 2.1 million jobs by 2030. +Education must adapt to prepare students for future careers, not past roles. +Manufacturing is a viable and lucrative career path for students. +Changing perceptions of manufacturing is essential for attracting new talent. +Real-world applications in education can engage students and enhance learning. +Vocational training should be integrated back into K-12 education. +Students need to see the progression of careers in manufacturing. +Local businesses can play a role in supporting education and training.
