The ICA Global Youth Conference has come round again and I hope lots of you are planning on attending. It looks like a very exciting event! I've attached all the information you'll need to register.

Information and technological development has modernized and increased the pace of life and business throughout the world, customers do not prefer to wait and their tastes and preferences have changed, expectations have increased. Due to unemployment, thousands of educated youth have lost their confidence and future. They have registered their names in the employment exchanges and waiting for their turn to come. The precious Human Resources of the youth are wasted. To tap and utilize talent and capability and earn for their livelihood, the co-operative courier was organised.

The Co-operative College is pleased to announce the development of a new means of communication and learning.
Podcasting is becoming a very popular way of providing short pieces of information of learning to a very wide audience and the College is now piloting this as a means of extending its reach and providing additional resources to people inside and outside the movement.

You now have access via our website to four examples of MP4 and MP3 Podcasts. (MP4's contain both audio and video and the MP3 contains voice only.)

The first and second examples are entitled 'A Different Kind of Business' and carry the trailers for our five modules of elearning which are available from our website at http://www.co-op.ac.uk/podcasts.htm
