Hi Liane,
I am trying to download the audio files of interviews into my ipod, so I can listen to them (instead to music as always) when I am away from the computer. But do not know how. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
Robin
I listen to Dr. Strem and his talk gave me the realities on going into a technical business. ACS should produce or sponsor more talks or simucast workshops on the realities of opening your own business ventures.
Hi Ron,
ACS Industry Programs division is developing a webinar on how to start your own business. I am not sure of all the logistics and have provided that department with your request. When developed, ACS Careers will be annoucing this opportunity.
Regards,
Liane

I am an experienced Synthetic Organic Chemist
I can not wait to hear the ACS Careers Industry Forum entitled “Do You Know Where Your Networks Are?”
This is the first time I commented here and I must say you provide genuine, and quality information for bloggers! Great job.
p.s. You have a very good template . Where have you got it from?
I hope I can make the next forum
I hope there’s good info here
I’m interested in getting some useful info, I hope this is the right place.
Looking to meet new people to exchange info with,so leave me your name
Peace,
How is ACS involved with the ‘green jobs’ efforts and the stimulus funding as it relates to sustainable jobs through the Wastewater and drinking infrastructures. I realize the WWTP operators have to be certified through state trainings, but want to know if these trainings are being offered through any academic settings (e.g., community colleges) ? And what criteria is needed to sit for these certifications ?
Deciphered as follows; Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP), operators are trained through various acedemic venues such as two year and four year colleges, state and local water municipalities [usually as an employee]. The American Water Works Association is the leader in training all water and waste water operators from class 1 through 5.
Anyone can study and prepare for these tests on their own, the material covers chemistry, physics, complex math problems.
