...New Employee Orientation Programme First Few Sips - Coca-Cola India Submitted To Professor Srimannarayana 12th August, 2013 First Few Sips- An Overview of Employee Orientation Program Coca-Cola India is lean organization with a total workforce of around 200-250 employees. Due to the structure, resource requirement and intake is restricted to merely 30-40 heads per year. This makes the training program more customized and individual focussed rather than standard. The common orientation program – First Few Sips however, remains standard yet adaptable to accommodate changes. This program is conducted every 3-4 months. Since, only about 10-12 people join the organization every quarter, HR waits for the availability of a group of new employees before it conducts this orientation program. The reason behind this is the involvement of the Leadership Team. They cannot be made free for individual orientation and thus, there is a requirement of a sizeable group. The itinerary of the orientation program is as follows: Day 1: The new employees meet Atul Singh and Venkatesh Kini in an open house where they get an opportunity to ask these leaders about their experiences. Ice breaking events are conducted. Day 2: Market Visit. This gives the new employees an exposure to the real time developments in the market and thus the related issues and business problems. Day 3: Talks and Open House discussions with Vice Presidents of the various Business Functions. Day 4: Plant visit to a bottling...

...continues to be the most popular choice, one in five students (55 000) opted for Erasmus job placements in companies. The three most popular destinations for Erasmus students in 2012-2013 were Spain, Germany and France. Countries sending the highest number of students as a proportion of their graduate population were Luxembourg, Liechtenstein, Finland, Latvia and Spain. "For 27 years, Erasmus has enabled students to spend time abroad to broaden their horizons and improve their skills. The latest figures show that Erasmus is more popular than ever. As well as contributing to a sense of belonging to the European family, the skills which Erasmus promotes also help students to boost their employability and career prospects. Our new Erasmus+ programme will enable even more young people to study, train, work or volunteer abroad in the next seven years," said Androulla Vassiliou, European Commissioner for Education, Culture, Multilingualism and Youth. IP/14/821 The statistics show that the average Erasmus grant, designed to cover part of the costs of living abroad and travel, was €272 per month, a 9% increase on the previous year (€250). The grant is topped up in some countries by national, regional or institutional funds. Erasmus is not just an exchange scheme for students: in 2012-2013 more than 52 600 academic and administrative staff received funding from Erasmus to teach or train abroad. The experience they gain not only benefits the individual concerned but also the quality...

..."Sex on the Moon: The Amazing Story Behind the Most Audacious Heist in History" by Ben Mezrich tells the true story of a young man named Thad Roberts who masterminded the first crime ever to take place in NASA. Thad Roberts, a fellow in a prestigious NASA program had an idea—a romantic, albeit crazy, idea. He wanted to give his girlfriend the moon. Literally Thad convinced his girlfriend and another female accomplice, both NASA interns, to break into an impregnable laboratory at NASA's headquarters—past security checkpoints, an electronically-locked door with cipher security codes and camera-lined hallways—and help him steal the most precious objects in the world:the moon rocks. Mezrich has pored over thousands of pages of court records, FBI transcripts, and NASA documents, and has interviewed most of the participants in the crime to reconstruct the madcap story of genius, love, and duplicity all centered around an Ocean’s Eleven style heist that reads like a Hollywood thrill-ride. Mezrich uses his trademark narrative non-fiction style to tell the story, which basically means it reads like fiction. While his stories are extensively researched and are factual (though perhaps biased in some cases), the books are written in such a way that they are very engaging and easy to read. Sex on the Moon went by much more quickly than an average work of non-fiction; it was fascinating and the pages flew by. Thad Roberts is portrayed as a lost and wandering soul who finally found...

...Dieuzaide Clothilde N°21304371 L1 LEA Communication skills (Groupe 18) Subject : Appliance for erasmus program in New-Zealand Dear Sir, Madam My name is Clothilde Dieuzaide, I'm a French student of 20 years old, I am currently studying at the University "Jean Jaures" of Toulouse and I intend to apply for the Erasmus exchange program with the University of Auckland as part of my studies. After completing one year of studies about economy, I changed my course to L.E.A. I realised that my interest lies more with foreign languages rather than economy only. In L.E.A I study Law, economy and three languages (English, Spanish and Italian) however, English is still my major subject. As I have always planned to spend some time abroad during my studies, I chose the Erasmus program because I am particularly interested in spending a year at an English-speaking university. I think this is a unique chance to combine my university studies with first-hand experience of life in an English-speaking country. In my opinion living on campus at another university in a foreign country is an extraordinary opportunity which can only be experienced during the time of studies. After, I will still be able to go abroad, but I won't have time to study at another university anymore because of work. The University of Auckland is my first choice for my stay due to the variety of courses it offers. Alongside improving my spoken and written English, I also hope to gain insight into the...

The French Rev olution in the 1 8th Century was driv en not only by demands for political freedom, but also by the lack of bread in Paris. Food has been the cause and effect of many riots occurring whenev er gov ernment policies caused sev ere economic hardship and clashed with the basic human right to food. Tea was a non-edible food item that was used as a protest tool by a group of Boston citizens, to protest the British tax on tea imported to the colonies. The food crises around the world prompted the establishment of the World Food Programme. In addition, many other United Nations agencies hav e included hunger or food security in their work programmes. These include: The United Nations Children Education Fund, the United Nations Dev elopment Programme, the World Health Organisation and the different United Nations missions to war torn countries. The term 'hunger' is loosely defined and the meaning is often adapted to serv e the purposes of those who may be ex periencing it.

...Sierra Grant Malnutrition Hello City Council, My name is Sierra Grant and I am here to discussing a topic that doesn’t get talked about much; malnutrition. Many people in our society don’t know about malnutrition and aren’t aware that this is actually happening right before their own eyes. Malnutrition is the condition that occurs when your body does not get enough nutrients. Any age group can get it especially senior citizens. I have been doing a lot of research throughout the week in order to present this issue to you. I have brainstormed three solutions to this issue which include hosting a canned food drive, buying family groceries, or sending home “care packages” with school aged kids. In making the decisions I made during this project of choosing solutions to the issue, I had to do a lot of research as well as use a lot of time thinking and comparing the costs and benefits of each possible solution. I completed many research charts and answered questions about economical issues as well as the issue I chose. It was hard work but it all paid off and will pay off in a major way in many lives. The steps I took in making the decisions I made was finding out the root of the issue, taking notes, making charts, comparing government sectors, and finally putting it all together. I completed a circular flow chart and learned about economic relationships and externalities to help me also. Due to my decision making, I found a solution to help educate the community about...

...How does the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme promote learning? The International Baccalaureate Diploma programme was established to provide ‘the educational needs of globally mobile students’ (IBO 2012 p.3), allowing them to gain a recognised qualification to allow them access to further education in universities around the world. Beyond these very broad objectives the initial programme was based on three fundamental principles, which outlined the IB’s approach to learning: * to provide a broad education, establishing the basic knowledge and critical thinking skill * to develop international understanding and citizenship * to provide choice within a balanced curriculum to allow the students interests to be fulfilled (ibid). The aim as Peterson has suggested was to not to just provide a place for the ‘acquisition of general knowledge, but the development of the general powers of the mind to operate in a variety of ways of thinking’ (IBO 2012 p.4). This is expressed further in the IB’s Mission Statement which states its desire to create a better world through education, which it claims can best, be achieved through international-mindedness. It adds to this by stating that ‘the International Baccalaureate aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect (ibid). As with the other programmes, the PYP and MYP, the DP ‘promotes the education...
