Our Economy... Your Opportunity Department of Economic Development Department of Education and Children Rheynn Lhiasaghey Tarmaynagh Rheynn Ynsee as Paitchyn our economy... your opportunity Tuesday 26th ICT November 2013 ENGINEERING FINANCIAL SERVICES at the Villa Marina PUBLIC SERVICES 9:00am - 7:00pm PROFESSIONAL SERVICES Admission FREE SKILLS Welcome to Employment & Skills 2013 From Mr Tony Wild, a Political Member of the Department of Economic Development and Department of Education and Children I would like to welcome you to Employment & Skills 2013, which is once again jointly hosted by the Department of Economic Development and the Department of Education and Children. Deciding on your future career is one of the biggest decisions you will make and this event is aimed at helping you to make this important choice. This event is an important part of a wider package aimed at helping young people understand the career options available to them and supporting people who are currently unemployed, or looking to change jobs, find suitable employment opportunities. The Isle of Man Government is committed to helping individuals seek, obtain and retain employment and a range of support is available to assist you with making your choice and equipping you with the skills you need to start your career or further your career. This event is an ideal opportunity to talk direct to a wide range of local employers and find out what they expect from job applicants, what vacancies are available and what opportunities are likely to be available in the future. I would encourage you to talk to as many people on the stands as you can to get a good feel for what you might wish to do and to find out about the broad range of career and job opportunities that exist in the Isle of Man. I am very grateful to the employers who have given their time to participate in the event today. It is very pleasing to see the public and private sectors willing to work collaboratively to raise awareness of the opportunities available to local people. This event also provides an ideal opportunity to engage with representatives from the Jobcentre, Careers Guidance Service, Disability Employment Service and the Training Services teams. They are all on hand to provide information and guidance to help you to find suitable employment. Also this year, we are delighted to welcome back John Loughton to the event. John is a high-profile and experienced youth leader, social entrepreneur, campaigner and public affairs professional who rose to prominence when he won TV’s Big Brother Celebrity Hijack in 2008. Please take the opportunity to engage with John, who will be involved in a number of ways during the day. We are fortunate to live not only on a beautiful Island but also one that offers opportunities for rewarding employment. By providing support to make informed choices and to develop in your chosen field, I believe that you will achieve your maximum potential. I hope that you enjoy Employment & Skills 2013 and that you make the most of the valuable opportunities to meet employers face to face. Mr Tony Wild, MLC 3 Welcome from the Chief Executive Officer for the Department of Education and Children I would like to welcome you to Employment & Skills 2013. This all-Island event, promoted by the Department of Education and Children and by the Department of Economic Development, is designed to showcase the many varied career and employment opportunities available on-Island. I would like to thank all those employers who are participating in this event and the time given by the many diverse organisations represented is something those attending should capitalise on during their visit. You will soon discover, despite the economic challenges we hear so much about, that there is a great range of opportunities provided by sectors as diverse as engineering, ICT, finance, retail and hospitality. I would encourage all those who attend to make the most of the opportunities provided to find out more about the career options and choices that may be available and be of interest to you. This event is also an opportunity for you to find out what skills and training employers really value and for you to link your own educational goals and life experiences to employment opportunities showcased at this event. I hope therefore that you have an enjoyable and worthwhile visit and that Employment & Skills 2013 provides you with relevant information to think about such important questions as how to successfully plan your future career path, better understand your own strengths and weaknesses, appreciate that rewards are not always financial in relation to career choice and how you should proactively approach an important life decision. Have a successful and positive visit and enjoy the day. Professor Ronald Barr 4 Message from Special Guest Speaker Mr John Loughton John Loughton is an experienced youth leader, social entrepreneur, campaigner, trainer and public affairs professional with 14 years’ grassroots experience. John is best known for winning Big Brother Celebrity Hijack in 2008. John led his first campaign aged 11 and was elected as the youngest ever Chairman of the Scottish Youth Parliament. In 2013 he was named JCI Young Professional of the World and recently returned from Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, where he collected his award. He founded the leadership training company, Dare2Lead, in 2011. Having trained in leadership and human rights at the University of Connecticut, he has worked in countries across five continents including Australia, Malawi, USA, Singapore, Sri Lanka and Germany. Dare2Lead is now run by an experienced, inspirational and committed team of leaders and trainers. Our high- quality work is based on over a decade of experience and success right across the world and carefully designed to maximise both learning and inspiration. Partners include The Duke of Edinburgh Award, Save The Children, Isle of Man Government and vInspired. John’s expertise in youth leadership led to him being appointed by the UK Prime Minister to serve on the Commission on Scottish Devolution, leading Public Affairs for HRH Prince Of Wales’ The Prince’s Trust/Fairbridge, sitting on Britain’s Literacy Commission, member of the Advisory Council for the Scottish Human Rights Commission and Trustee of the Commonwealth Youth Exchange Council. John has presented to high profile figures including HM Queen Elizabeth II, UN Secretary General Kofi Anan and various presidents and prime ministers. In 2011, he represented 1.2 billion youth when he addressed 54 heads of state at the Commonwealth meeting in Australia and in 2012 he addressed the G8 and G20 Youth Summits in Washington DC as Prime Minister for the Youth Diplomatic Service. John is a fan of Formula One, The West Wing and a supporter of Scottish whisky. I am delighted to be taking part in this year’s Employment & Skills event. As a young person myself, I realise fully the pressures and opportunities for our generation. I have been fortunate enough to work with lots of amazing people and help spread a positive youth message across the UK and wider afield. What I have learned from 14 years of campaigning and hard work is how important it is to develop leadership skills, treat people positively and maximise every opportunity you have. That’s what I think this event is really about. Often young people are given a raw deal in society or are presumed guilty until proven innocent. We, together, have the power to change that and through positivity, hard work and leadership, you can ALL realise that the only thing that stops your dreams coming true is yourself. John Loughton Founder and CEO, Dare2Lead 5 So, what are you here for? Last year, a survey of students who had attended Employment & Skills 2012 showed that more than 12% of them were ‘not at all clear’ or ‘slightly clear’ about why they had attended. Employment & Skills 2013 is an opportunity for you to think about your future and to ask big questions about what you want to do with your life. You are not attending this event for the good of your school – this is for you. It is up to you to make the most of this opportunity to think about yourself, about work in general and about your choices for the future. Careers education has three parts to it. Self-development The first element of careers education is knowing and understanding yourself. If you don't know what you like, what you don't like, where your interests lie, what you want to achieve, what your skills are, what your strengths are and how high you want to aim... then you are probably not ready to think about your future career. You need to do some thinking. Use the event to help you reflect on yourself. When you talk with the people at the different stands, do you think: 'Yes – this could be me' or 'No – I'm not cut out to do this'? Why do you feel that way? In last year's survey, 37% of students said that attending Employment & Skills '...helped raise my awareness about myself'. Career exploration The second element of careers education is getting to understand the world of work and checking out the opportunities that exist. You need to build your knowledge of work. Why do some people choose jobs with lower pay? What other rewards do jobs offer? What is a high salary? How will better qualifications give me a greater choice of jobs? Which jobs will be beyond my reach if I don't get qualifications? How can some people work for themselves and employ other people? How high can someone go in different jobs? How transferable are the skills from one job to another? If you don't know much about the opportunities that exist, use the careers stands to find out as much as you can about the world of work.

  • Amazon and Whole Foods: Grocery's Continued Evolution
    www.inlandinstitutional.com Amazon and Whole Foods: Grocery’s Continued Evolution Amazon.com Inc.’s (“Amazon”) online retail strategy appears to be evolving with its recent announcement on June 16th to acquire Whole Foods Market, Inc. (Whole Foods). Though it is too early to know what the full impact will be on the super- market business, Amazon’s decision to enter the brick-and- mortar retail landscape may help energize the $800 billion grocery industry and in the long run make the business an even more central part of people’s shopping habits.1 One clear message from this action by Amazon is that the future of grocery retailing will be critically dependent on hav- ing physical stores in close proximity to the consumers’ resi- dence. Well located grocery stores will be key to the omni- channel future of retailing for groceries as well as many other categories of goods. Far from threatening the long term value of grocery anchored retail properties, by their actions Amazon has just told the market that they are key strategic assets. Whole Foods Strategic Footprint After struggling for a decade to find a successful prototype for entering the grocery business, Amazon has offered to pay $13.7 billion for Whole Foods. Many in grocery and real estate circles had predicted that the company would ultimately have to buy an established grocer if they were to have any chance to “get big fast.” Assuming the acquisition closes, Amazon will gain access to Whole Foods’ customers who spent approximately $16 billion in the last fiscal year at over 460 stores.

  • Retail Supermarket Globalization: Who’S Winning?
    RETAIL SUPERMARKET GLOBALIZATION: WHO’S WINNING? October 2001 CORIOLISRESEARCH Coriolis Research Ltd. is a strategic market research firm founded in 1997 and based in Auckland, New Zealand. Coriolis primarily works with clients in the food and fast moving consumer goods supply chain, from primary producers to retailers. In addition to working with clients, Coriolis regularly produces reports on current industry topics. Recent reports have included an analysis of the impact of the arrival of the German supermarket chain Aldi in Australia, answering the question: “Will selling groceries over the internet ever work?,” and this analysis of retail supermarket globalization. ! The lead researcher on this report was Tim Morris, one of the founding partners of Coriolis Research. Tim graduated from Cornell University in New York with a degree in Agricultural Economics, with a specialisation in Food Industry Management. Tim has worked for a number of international retailers and manufacturers, including Nestlé, Dreyer’s Ice Cream, Kraft/General Foods, Safeway and Woolworths New Zealand. Before helping to found Coriolis Research, Tim was a consultant for Swander Pace (now part of Kurt Salmon) in San Francisco, where he worked on management consulting and acquisition projects for clients including Danone, Heinz, Bestfoods and ConAgra. ! The coriolis force, named for French physicist Gaspard Coriolis (1792-1843), may be seen on a large scale in the movement of winds and ocean currents on the rotating earth. It dominates weather patterns, producing the counterclockwise flow observed around low- pressure zones in the Northern Hemisphere and the clockwise flow around such zones in the Southern Hemisphere. It is the result of a centripetal force on a mass moving with a velocity radially outward in a rotating plane.
