Bergdorf Blondes

Bergdorf Blondes was the first novel of Plum Sykes, an English-born fashion writer and New York “it girl”. It was initially published in the USA by Miramax Books, as well as in Britain by Viking, in 2004. Penguin published a paperback edition in 2005.
Bergdorf Blondes was a quirky and really successful example of “chick lit”, selling more than a quarter of a million copies worldwide. It was set among the smart Park Avenue “in-crowd” of Upper Manhattan, New York, with which Plum Sykes herself was associated as a contributing editor of American Vogue. Among the 44 private acknowledgements in Sykes’ preface, the first was of Anna Wintour, the editor of Vogue who recruited Sykes from its British counterpart in the mid 1990s, now the last, the entrepreneur Toby Rowland, whom Sykes married in 2005.

‘SUMMIT TEACHERS’ INTEGRATION IN PROGRAM

Technology-based training environments

In the next presentation, find the graphic representation of the different networks, the characterization of training environments, associated technologies and training programs associated with real and virtual environments. This is an approximation of the Bank of environment that is still in its construction phase and we expect to be completed by the end of January 2009.

It was a didactic work, developed by the Vocational Training Department with the invaluable cooperation of network operators, apprentices in the Industrial Center and Business Development Soacha, and designers of Technopark.
We expect the Bank of environments, as a reference and guide for the purchase of machinery and equipment in training centers with minimum standards to ensure quality training anywhere in the country.

At the forefront of training for projects

Following the guidelines from the Department of Education presented Dr. Mireya Lopez Chaparro, deputy managing Celina Claudia Marin and commitment from each of the instructors, the Centre Integral Industrial Maintenance begins to the forefront FOR TRAINING PROJECTS.
According to Hernando Herrera, lead instructor in the process, working from, induction has been consolidated over this proposal, because their participation at an early stage enables them to assimilate the methodology, understand the advantage you have against the teaching learning process innovation that SENA has made in the transformation of the environments and all this complemented with a proper sense of belonging for all staff.
“The intent is that the learner has very clear what their training program, learning outcomes to be achieved and what are the competencies to be developed …”
One of the complementary actions to implement project-based training has been the transformation of classrooms and workshops in learning environments.
“The Centre has a long way in transforming environments and can verify that where there has been a better team, that where you have had a better view on the transformation of their learning environment, has had a better development. You can clearly see that the Center has been a spearhead in some areas, but others are improving … ”
With the new environments, learners may find it necessary to their formation process, with the four sources of knowledge and have a description that allows to develop their skills and manage their own resources.

Teleinformática CONTRIBUTION TO THE INDUSTRY AS A REGIONAL

Four years of hard work and dedication in improving the technological line Teleinformática as input to the regional industry, put the Comprehensive Maintenance Industrial Center-CIMI-Giron, as one of the pillars of training for the development of information technology in eastern Colombia.

If it is true that long before computers came to this Center SENA is in the last four years has emerged as more remote computing work, thanks to implementation of pedagogical models, dynamic learning techniques and the acquisition of advanced technological resources.
In this way, what in the beginning was assembly and maintenance of computer equipment, evolved into the analysis and development of information systems, and recently the installation and network administration, completing a comprehensive package of educational provision in the field of computing.
Since the support systems for industrial

engineer According to Magda Milena García Gamboa, an instructor of Analysis and Information Systems Development, although this technology segment tele space has been carved in the environment of local and regional industry, should be better known, so that the learner SENA not to be confused with a digit of Word, Excel or Power Point that although the they do not correspond to your output profile, which in reality is much more technical. ”
The graduate develops information systems for desktop or Web environment, also can design and develop web pages and organize the processes that companies have . It is important to clarify that corresponds to the processes that manage information. Sometimes when we speak of systematic thought processes, for example, in the development of a machine, but that’s software industry.
The question the employer might be what then are the powers of SENA trainee in the management software or information systems and what is their contribution?
The Apprentice SENA manages databases, websites, systematized process inventory, payroll, also supports users that has to do with custom applications that can be analyzed and corrected If they need or complement the applications already have.
Another of the skills developed in the training process, has to do with technological negotiations, which is the ‘translation’ of the user manual, usually made for the level Engineers, for the later train who is having surgery.
Among the important contributions of Analysis and Information Systems Development is the development of multimedia material and development of teaching materials through Macromedia.
An added value in this area, has to do with the handling of the “first aid” in hardware: install operating systems, format, install antivirus, configure computers, install software and make diagnoses.
CIMI So far the promotion has graduated five technologists and Development Analysis Information Systems.

INSTRUCTOR OF CIMI Paper on Bioethics

Training in bioethics: life with life ‘is the name of the book that made Santander the instructor community wing Saul Ernesto Garcia Serrano, who is a group of trainers Comprehensive Maintenance Industrial Center Giron.
