NETN - Reference Business headlines, Denver Post, "Worker Shortage Tackled," and story written, "Drug use called major hiring barrier," by Robert Schwab, Denver Post Writer, Thursday, October 29, 1998, "Noel Ginsberg, president of Intertech Plastics, Inc., rocked the audience at the Denver Workforce Summit when he said that half the applicants for jobs at his plastics manufacturing plant eliminate themselves from being hired either by refusing to take a drug test or by failing one." Does this send a message to job hunters?
CONTENT STANDARDS - There has been a long standing effort to develop objectives to teach a curriculum that expects something to be desired from students. This concept has evolved into a "Content Standard" so that the curriculum dictates something absolutely required rather than "desired."
We recommend you review your State's Standards for educational subjects. However, if you click your computer's mouse's left button on any of the underlined below, you will see an orchestrated effort of the core of what has to be learned by a student in that area.
