Next Tech Tuesday: Workforce Development Grants and Opportunities to Grow Your Business

June 30, 2009 - 9:00am to 11:00am

New Horizons CLC will deliver a presentation on the available funding sources for workforce development training grants in the State of Louisiana. The state has several opportunities where your company can take advantage of funding to train your employees.

The presentation will focus on two grants, the Small Business Employee Training Grant (SBET) and the Incumbent Worker Training Grant (IWTP). Each grant has specific advantages and are a great resource for your organization. New Horizons has worked as a Primary Training provider administering and managing these grants for over 7 years. They will discuss the process for you to apply and receive the training through the program.

Join us to see how your company can benefit from a program that could catapult your employees to the next level. Training under these grants can include any specialty or proprietary need that your organization may have to grow your business, while offering your employees specialized training.

A representative from the City of New Orleans' JOB1 office will also be in attendance to discuss the services they provide. JOB1 is a private-public partnership that facilitates workforce development in our City. Employer needs are assessed and categorized, training programs are identified and developed, and prospective employees are connected to the appropriate action. This partnership is an intelligent coordination of supply and demand, serving the needs of its two primary customers - businesses and people seeking jobs.

Free for Members; $20 for Non-Members; Refreshments provided!

Attention HR Departments: Join the LTC's Virtual Job Fair

noemail@ltc-la.org — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 19:44:58 GMT

Have a job opening? The LTC wants to help you fill those jobs so you can keep your business rolling through the summer months! Instead of a traditional job fair, we are hosting a virtual job fair on our web site from July 6th through July 10th.

Save on the time and cost to send employees to staff a physical, offsite booth for an entire day (or more) and instead receive applications sent directly to the location of your choice. It can be a fax number, an HR staff member’s email, a general job email address, or to an online application on your company’s website.

A traditional job fair lasts one or two days – our virtual job fair will be available for an entire business week. Job seekers will be able to view and apply for your jobs 24 hours a day for the 5 days of the job fair.

Our database of 3900+ email subscribers will receive notification of the employers sponsoring and posting job openings on our site. Many of those recipients will pass along the notices to friends, family, coworkers, and business associates, increasing the number of people who will know you are looking to hire!

Featured Employers (event sponsors) will have their company’s logo prominently displayed at the top of the virtual job fair page, directions on where to apply, and a short paragraph describing their business, as well as a listing of ‘hot jobs’ that they are immediately filling. The cost for this virtual booth is $750.

Virtual booths for member companies will be $250 and non-members pay $350. These booths include a company logo, a brief description of their company (1-2 sentences) and directions on how to apply. Register your company today at:

CIO Forum - August 2009: Call for Speakers

noemail@ltc-la.org — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 18:01:54 GMT

Every year the LTC implements an Annual CIO Forum luncheon. This year's CIO Forum is tentatively for Friday August 28th, 2009 in New Orleans. We are currently in touch with organizations such as the State of Louisiana, Microsoft, Cisco, Oracle, Shaw Group, Harrah's and other firms to participate in our Forum, but would like your feedback.

In 2008 we had Gerri Martin-Flickinger, CIO of Adobe, and Darko Hrelic, CIO of Gartner Inc. as panelists; previously we have had the President of Information Systems of Wal-Mart, Carolyn Walton, CIO from the Weather Channel, Brian Shield and CIO of Entergy, Ray Johnson with over 280+ people in attendance. Our objective is to obtain up to 3 top level CIO's (or equivalent) from major organizations to discuss specific technology topics that are key to their organization. Each participant gives a brief presentation on their organization (new initiatives, etc.) and what they are doing to be competitive and offer advice to help our members and the business community. A Q&A session follows the presentations.

On our limited budget as a 501c3 non-profit, we ask that the presenters waive any speaking fees they may have, in order to help us keep our costs down yet still provide a high-quality, informative event at a low price to our members. If you can recommend someone that might help us, please let me know. Last year's event was a huge success and we hope to do the same for 2009.

Please feel free to get with me if you have any questions. To learn more about our 2008 CIO Forum event, please go to: http://www.ltc-la.org/en/cev/140

Louisiana Technology Council partners with Daystar Digital's Michelle Cullison in helping to provide the area's first Social Media Bootcamp.

You may be wondering if Social Media Boot Camp is for people in Fortune 500 Companies. It is! Here’s why:

At least 50% of the examples used in the boot camp presentations are from Fortune 500 Companies. We will look at the social media implementations of AT&T, BP, Johnson & Johnson, Whole Foods, HP, Dell, Microsoft, Bank of America and more!

The first session will focus on social media strategy development from both the personal and the organizational perspective. Here are a few examples of how social media can be used in the corporate environment:

• Executive Leadership

• Business Development

• Support

• Marketing

• Lead Generation

• Branding

• Rapid Sharing

• Product Requirements/Product Development

• Market Feedback

• Improve internal communication

• And more!

Yes, the boot camp is for Fortune 500 Companies!

If you've ever said:

I'm on LinkedIn, now what?

How in the world do I use Facebook for business?

What is Twitter all about?

You need to attend Social Media Boot Camp where Michelle Cullison, New Media Strategist, will share her secrets with you and provide with ways you can use Social Media to your advantage. She's been equipping people for online success since 1993 and she can do the same for you. Don't waste another month trying to figure it out. Attend boot camp to accelerate your learning, grow your network, make the RIGHT connections and build your business. Plan now for reaching new prospects in new channels for business growth in 2009.

At the Bootcamp, we'll cover the top 3 social sites in detail: LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook. And, we'll teach you how to develop a strategy—specific to your business—so you can use social media productively and effectively. Don't miss your chance to be in the elite social media troop!

Boot Camp registrants will report to University of Phoenix in Metairie on Friday, June 5th from 9 AM-4 PM.

In addition to the full-day of content-rich training, registrants receive these pre- and post-boot camp learning opportunities:

Post-boot camp learning: 100+ page Social Media Manual, A Preparedness Guide to Doing Business on Social Networking Sites, filled with info such as Step by Step instructions, Quick Tips, worksheets for developing strategies and more! The binder will let you reference and review what you learned and give you the next steps to keep expanding your web presence.

Pre-boot camp: 3 webinars BEFORE the event to guide you through creating and completing your profiles on LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter. ***Why are we offering these extras? We don't want to spend time at bootcamp on the basics. We want everyone who attends to be ready to go to the next level—to maximize the value of the day!

$349 Regular Registration – LTC members save $25!
