Summary Overview
Hello there and a big welcome on information about our Students@Work
Project and Program, launched from the United Kingdom, for all students
domestically and Internationally.
As a working example, the past Labour Government in the United Kingdom
has placed a major emphasis on the importance of education and rightly
so. It is imperative in this modern age that every State ensures future
generations are equipped to be competitive in a technological World. It
is also essential through education that a State does not find itself
spiralling down socially and morally. Events of such are as a result of
a lack in education, culminating as a result in generations of
ignorance.
In recent years taking the United Kingdom as the working example.
Students have grasped the nettle and studied hard with the objective at
the end of the day of securing full time employment with a purpose and
in return for a qualified individuals efforts rewarded financially.
The problem I foresaw back in the mid 2000's was the amount of students
in education and continuing to this day do not have the businesses or
industries to channel these talented minds.
Whilst education has been at the forefront in the States agenda, the
other pieces to the jigsaw are not in place. Since the 1960's Britain
as a Nation has been in rapid decline for manufacture. In the mid
1980's to 1990's the servicing sector has been transitioned to other
states. Many of us today who phone for services, will be handled by our
friends and cousins in Islamabad or Mumbai. So the servicing sector has
also been in rapid decline.
To any rational clear minded thinking individual, the passing out of
qualified students on mass for employment domestically is currently not
a realistic or achievable option. As a result of short term thinking
and failing to invest in private industry and business, the employment
opportunities do not exist. It may be argued by some that the public or
state sector can provide long term positions for some in employment.
But this also is no longer true.
The public sector (Government Institutions and services) have been over
laden for countless years. The revenue to finance such services only
come from the private sector. Many in Government over complicate the
issues and the problems. It is not as complicated at all, the problems
are simply factual economics.
The simple analogy I take are problems and issues presented by business
men and women everyday in business. It's simple, you need products or
services to sell to make a profit. The profit pays the running costs
and the wages. The other essential factor is, you need to be
competitive and have a viable product. product viability is generated
as a result of investment in the form of research and technology in
your sector to create the product of tomorrow. And finally, once you
have created your product or products and services you need to compete
against fellow member businesses in your industry sector.
Now it is not rocket science to quickly conclude that if you do not
invest, and do not create new products, and do not provide competitive
goods, you have a problem. So to retain the old products and in fact,
cut back on some items, but still increase the staffing levels and pass
these overheads onto out dated products and services, without the
investment into new, you are faced in a business sense with closure,
bankruptcy, liquidation, unemployment.
Now the example I have given above, can be related to any business, but
sadly these same simple rules and principles can also be applied to
Government and State. Whilst the last UK Government has focused on
education, the other essential areas to the jigsaw have not been set in
place. The decision to create more policies, larger departments, more
staff in the civil service has burdened a State financially to the
point of bankruptcy. If you presented the recent events and decisions
taken and placed them into a business plan and presented these to the
most inexperienced of financiers or bankers, they would unanimously
conclude the best way forward would be to shut up shop.
So for all our great young minds and hardworking students, the
prospects of employment are extremely grime. Even the face of the
retail sector in the United Kingdom has began to change and more is to
follow, as products become cheaper and more accessible using on-line
services. Again, the biggest burdens and costs to private sector
retail, comes again from Local Government in the form of business rates
and further red tape. The latter again creating artificial employment
in the public sector, a cost that the United Kingdom State cannot
afford.
For a State, like the United Kingdom to become competitive again, they
have to make some radical and unpleasant steps in the interests of all.
Over 1 million students are passing out qualified in China a month.
They are now the largest IT sector manufacturing economy in the World.
Students with the same level of qualifications in China are taking
positions on a monthly average income of $200. In the United Kingdom an
average civil servant working as an advisor, in this case example Job
Centre Plus, earns on average between £12,500 to £15,000
per annum. This equates to around £1,000 to £1,200 per
month. Many who take such positions are not highly skilled or qualified
through education as the students of today passing out through
Universities and Institutions. But if we take this one example in the
public service sector, who processes paper and do not actually create
any tangible product for market. For the UK to become competitive these
salaries need to be reduced by over 10 - 12 times in comparison to our
cousins in China, who are more qualified and highly skilled developing
tangible, saleable commodities.
The inherent skills in the UK gene pool is creativity and invention. In
an era of technology, this clearly spells out for the survival of a
Nation such as the United Kingdom, investment needs to be placed into
the IT sector and other innovating sectors, namely green industries. To
be competitive, public sectors need to be de-leveraged in the form of
earning by at least 2 thirds, and a completely new way of thinking with
regards to Local Government revenues, especially for the private
business sectors who are the job creators.
The days of capitalism in relation to self worth for a few, or unionism
in the self interest again of the few, mainly the public service
sector, will only give rise to terminal illness for any State including
the United Kingdom.
So in 2006, I wrote a white paper, airing my concerns in relation to
our own IT sector, fully knowing the current path and course will only
lead to disaster. After great thought and deliberation, it became
apparent that the current business models were set to fail and the
business manual had to be torn up.
Over the course of two years I embarked on structuring a new framework
for a business model to function, be transparent, accountable, take
into consideration society and the social responsibilities and what
this entails, that we call the glue factor for society to lawfully
function. And lastly, but more importantly determined a way in
collectively, with the brightest minds, develop an enterprise to serve
the interests of all and the environment.
So at the end of 2009, Riverside Networks incorporated five new
companies covering the sectors of the the Riverside
Networks Organization. So they are transparent and serving the
interests of all, be it locally, or Internationally. The business
modules we have created are green enterprise co-operative's, where
every member who joins our team and staff become equity steak holders
in the businesses, this concept also provides a way for addressing a
flawed and unworkable, or sustainable programme such a the pension
system.
The Students@Work Project and Program is core to our aims and
ambitions, we need the brightest young minds who have not been drawn
into the scepticism of societies ills, or been burdened with the
thought of no hope having endured the hopeless apathy of the benefits
system and the incumbents whose sole agenda, appear to be,
protectionism towards their own artificial bubble, rather than the
wider interests of society at large and for all.
To recruit and train from the University sector in our industry is not
a new concept. For countless years in the United States, students have
been head hunted, or employment opportunity and placements have arisen
before students leave University. Some case examples of success in our
industry being Microsoft, Apple, Hewlett Packard, Google and Netscape
especially where the Mosaic browser developed by Marc Andreessen and
Eric Bina from the National Centre For Super Computing, located in
Champagne Illinois introduced us all the the World Wide Web both
commercially and as private users.
As a proud British Company, again using our gene pool for innovation
and creativity we are setting new standards as a benchmark leader for a
green co-operative enterprise, but also adopting sound proven past
methods for recruitment in our industry. We have recently embraced the
Backing Young Britain Campaign where we offered internships for
training on our new innovations in software and communications. These
creative individuals are now being given career opportunities that they
could never of dreamed of and being masters now in their own destiny
and future.
We have also been exploring our own training programs from the guidance
and support of Business Link, as the current issues and problems we do
have again, and demonstrating the need for radical change by Government
is the lack of cohesive policies when a programme is launched by a
State. Namely, for internships, members can only qualify after being
unemployed for six months, that completely defeats the object. For all
the enthusiasm and confidence is lost by the leaving graduates, once
they are exposed to the cynical and apathetic mechanisms of ill thought
out Government programme models to successfully function.
So if you are a Student and currently seeking a future and want to be a
part of something decent, remarkable and big! We would like to hear
from you, with the opportunity of helping us make Riverside Networks
and her Group of Companies a beacon of hope for the United Kingdom and
a friend to many of our new trading partners around the World.
So please drop us a line with your details and your ambitions, help us
change the World for the Good! We are currently working on many new
projects. We are proud to have just launched the Parental Ratings
and Certificates Program to help protect minors across the World
Wide Web!
