Temple University: Temple University hikes tuition hike 10 percent - Morning Call

This is not good news for Philadelphia and Bucks County residents. Tuition hikes at a university whose goal it is to help kids with limited means get a college education will make it more difficult for those kids to afford college. It's important to research all available financial aid options available. Talk to your high school counselor, the college, search the internet, etc. Good luck!

Labor Dept. funds green jobs training across Pa. - BusinessWeek

This is really exciting news for Bucks County, PA residents looking for training and employment in the green jobs field. The Finishing Trades Institute of the Mid-Atlantic Region will be issuing a press release soon with more information. Hopefully, folks can start taking advantage of these programs soon!!!

I've always wondered why it was impossible for people to get financial help to learn skills that would be immediately useful for getting a job....instead of only making money available for long-term college degree programs that may or may not help you find employment two years from now! We need employment now and the financial help to get skills training now.

Networking Organization for Women

Here's a networking group just for woman in Bucks County.  They have three types of memberships:

• Entrepreneur Connection (for women business owners and professionals)
• Career Connection (for women re-entering the professional workforce or in career transition)
• Community Connection (for women who serve on non-profit boards)

There is a fee to join.  Visit their website for rates.  Remember that your job search expenses are tax deductible. I would go to one of their free events first, if you can, before joining to see if you think the group will be helpful.  I've been to several networking groups lately and they seem helpful if you have a small business but if you're looking for a job with a big company, I'm not sure how helpful they are.  Any thoughts?
