The Cooperative Training at Coal Sites programme has been run by the Ministry for Labour, Health and Social Affairs of the State of North-Rhine Westphalia in Germany since 2008. The aim of the training programme is to support the employment of youth in German coal mining regions. It provides young people in the region with the skills needed to find a company apprenticeship or training opportunity. It encourages companies to invest internally to provide jobs to young people as well as fosters cooperation between training providers, local employment authorities and local companies to jointly offer initial training to young people. Specifically , state-owned company GIB (German Assessment Institution) supports the state government of North Rhine-Westphalia by facilitating cooperation between training providers and small and medium-sized enterprises. Meanwhile, young people are given an external training, after which they can be taken on for a second year of apprenticeship under a company programme. In doing so, the programme especially targets young people experiencing difficulties securing a training position upon completion of school. The programme has received EUR 500 000 per year from the state government of North RhineWestphalia, co-financed by the European Social Fund. Since September 2016, up to 20 young people per year have undertaken out-of-school training under the programme, in preparation for in-company training. The programme was implemented in four cities by local educational institutions, in close cooperation with local companies and the state’s employment agency.

Oil Industry Braces for Years-Long Iran War

Oil producers, traders, and refiners are bracing for a prolonged war between the United States and Iran in the Persian Gulf with little to no hope of a quick resolution. By extension, they are also preparing for higher prices for longer, a theme present at this year’s edition of the Asia Pacific Petroleum Conference. Reuters’ Clyde Russell reported this week that the mood at APPEC was not particularly cheerful as hostilities in the Middle East escalate once again, suggesting achieving peace would be quite a challenge. The Reuters columnist…

Stolen Electricity is Powering Illegal Crypto Farms Across the Globe

Electricity theft is a global problem, and it’s getting more dire all the time. While the problem is most common in developing countries, where grid infrastructure is limited and utilities and state authorities have lower oversight capacities, developed countries are not immune either. This theft can occur in many forms and at many scales, from individuals tapping into power lines to power their individual residences to large-scale and sophisticated theft schemes to power entire cryptocurrency mining farms. Just this week, Mexican authorities…

Iran’s Security Crackdown Runs Into Resistance From Within

Iran's parliament is trying to turn fears of foreign infiltration into law. But as lawmakers work through the legislation, the debate is exposing an increasingly awkward question for the Islamic Republic: How far should the state go in policing Iranians' contact with the outside world? At the center of that debate is Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, who, at least publicly, is doing a balancing act. He has defended the need for tougher measures against foreign infiltration while warning that the current draft of the legislation goes too…

Why More Homes Are Switching From Gas to Heat Pumps

Heat pumps are becoming an increasingly popular alternative to gas-powered central heating systems and are increasingly being used in new construction, often driven by government incentives. A heat pump uses technology similar to that found in a refrigerator or an air conditioner, extracting heat from a source, such as the surrounding air, and amplifying and transferring the heat to where it is needed. As most of the heat is transferred rather than generated, heat pumps are far more efficient than conventional heating technologies such as boilers…
