Indiana's Behavioral Health Provider Evidence-Based Training Opportunity
Star Behavioral Health Providers (SBHP) is an initiative designed through a collaboration with the Indiana National Guard (INNG, the Military Family Research Institute (MFRI) at Purdue University, and the National Guard Bureau's Psychological Health Program (PHP), and the Indiana Family and Social Services Association (FSSA). The SBHP mission is to create an opportunity for Indiana's behavioral health providers to receive specific evidence-based training that will help them meet the needs of the state's service members and their families. Providers receiving the training will then be listed on a comprehensive registry that will identify them as having completed this training in military issues, and serve as a valuable resource for service members, families, and referring professionals in and outside the military.
The training is free to participants, and Continuing Education Units (CEUs) may be earned at no cost, as well.
For complete details visit the website: www.starproviders.org.
The training is divided into three tiers with each tier building on information from previous tiers. Tier One training which includes both online and one daylong classroom sessions will be hosted at Ball State University on Wednesday, June 27th. We are glad that we can provide the following training as a way to achieve this increased level of awareness. If you are interested in attending this training, please pre-register by clicking one of the links list below. As a way to increase the value of the training, attendees are asked to complete an online tutorial which takes approximately one hour prior to attending.
Registration for all of the trainings can be found: http://starproviders.org/providers/training_dates.php.
If you would like to go directly to the website for the training being held at Ball State University, follow this link: http://starproviders.org/providers/training_date.php?training_id=18.
You are welcome to register for Tiers Two and Three at the same time but completion of the tiers in order is required! Also, attending Tier Three requires joining the registry as a provider - see the website for more details!
I hope you will take advantage of this important opportunity. It's an excellent chance to increase your knowledge, obtain CEUs and gain an increased ability to serve those who have served our country.
Thank you.

WOMEN AND MINORITIES NEEDED FOR ELECTRICIAN APPRENTICE PROGRAM - Indianapolis training and employment opportunity
CREW Electrical Services
A Specialty Electrical Contractor Powered by Women
7768 Zionsville Road Suite 150, Indianapolis, IN 46268
317-713-7777
Thirty four dollars an hour! Actually $34.35/hour to be precise! That is how much money I pay my Journeyman Electricians – and that’s just the salary! These jobs also come with FULL benefits! But, right now we cannot fill our apprenticeship classes. And even more frustrating to me personally is that out of the over 600 union electricians in Central Indiana – there are fewer than 10 females! And recently many public construction projects are requiring not only women and minority companies to receive a percentage of the overall spend BUT also certain percentages of diversity in the actual labor pool. This is almost impossible to achieve because of the scarcity of female electricians. Why so few young women in our trade? I really think it is because no one ever thinks of coaching them to consider the construction trades as a career option.
I know – every Mama wants her darling daughter to go to college. But, you and I both know that ALL kids are not cut out to go to college (no matter how smart they might be) but what you might not know is that studies show that many women actually make better electricians than most men. Women generally have better fine motor skills and tend to be more safety conscious and patient than men. And being an electrician can be a steady, stable, financially rewarding job – it certainly is not a job that can be outsourced overseas! And the recent economic downturn caused many older electricians to elect retirement which means we will be facing pent up demand in the very near future for any electricians but the need for female electricians and apprentices is dire right now!
So, if you know any young women who like to work with their hands, hate the confines of cubicles, keyboards, gender stereotypes and/or repetition, and are hard working and safety conscious; PLEASE have them go to the Indiana Plan website www.indianaplan.org and apply for the class that begins June 11, 2012.
Please feel free to forward this message and to contact me personally if you have any questions. You may also contact Dax Ramsey at the Indiana Plan, (317) 639-4661, dramsey@indianaplan.org,or JimPatterson at the Electrical Training Institute (317) 270-5282, jpatterson@electricaltraininginstitute.com. Thank you for all you do for the youth of Indiana!

Free Online Webinars for Veterans
Starting February 28th to Provide Veterans with Effective Job Hunting Skills
WASHINGTON DVNF, stepping up its efforts to help Veterans land jobs upon returning home from service, will sponsor a free online webinar series to provide all Veterans, active duty, reservists or retired members of the U.S. Military, and those supporting Veterans -- including Veteran Service Officers, spouses, and family members with critical job hunting and interviewing skills.
The first webinar, a "Resume and Cover Letter Boot Camp," is from 2-3 p.m. EST February 28th.
The webinar will be conducted by Rod Dillehay, EVP of VeraData, and Gulf War Veteran Mark Walker, Deputy Director National Economic Division at The American Legion, the largest Veterans service organization in the country. Walker will provide an overview of essential resources available to veterans in finding employment, and will explain benefits of legislation impacting Veterans and employers alike. Dillehay, having 20+ years experience screening, interviewing and hiring job candidates, will provide resume and cover letter advice and insight.
The February 28th webinar will teach Veterans how to create organized resumes that will get noticed by human and computer eyes. Veterans will learn how to translate their military service into relevant experience that is desirable to employers, how to use LinkedIn to find jobs, and how to word cover letters so they get an employer's attention.
"The webinar is an efficient way for us to reach thousands of Veterans with current and effective job preparation skills," said Raegan Rivers of DVNF. "There is nothing more important to our heroes returning from service than finding a meaningful position in the workplace and in society. This will be tremendously beneficial to the men and women who want a fresh start--and the jobs they deserve--after serving our country."
Future webinars will cover productive job hunting, effective interviewing skills, and information about how the new Veterans Jobs Bill benefits soldiers and employers.
Veterans can learn more about the webinars at www.dvnf.org/webinar.php .
About: DVNF exists to change the lives of men and women who came home wounded or sick after defending our safety and freedom. A nonprofit 501(c) (3), DVNF was founded in the fall of 2007 by six women veterans to expand their scope of work within the veteran's community. For more information, visit www.dvnf.org .
