By the end of June 2023, China has signed more than 230 cooperation documents on jointly building the "Belt and Road" with more than 150 countries and more than 30 international organizations. At present, China has launched "Chinese+Vocational Education" characteristic projects in more than 40 countries and regions, and more than 400 vocational colleges in mainland China and foreign educational institutions have cooperated in running schools. The number of full-time students studying in China has reached 17000. China's vocational education has established stable connections with over 70 countries and organizations. In the process of exchange, vocational colleges in the mainland and universities in Europe, Africa, Thailand and other countries along the Belt and Road have carried out vocational education projects. National Association of Vocational Education of China has always played an important role in promoting the Belt and Road Initiative. Hong Kong's vocational education has a flexible education and training mechanism, an open market school running mode, and an international talent training orientation. It has prominent regional advantages in the international exchange and cooperation of vocational education along the “Belt and Road”.Mr. Feng Dajun, Deputy Director General of National Association of Vocational Education of ChinaDr. Wong Yau Kar stated that from the 1980s to 2019, vocational colleges have trained over 900,000 graduates from various industries in Hong Kong. The Hong Kong SAR government has established a dedicated department to promote the development of vocational education. The Vocational Training Council (VTC) was established in 1982. The government is also vigorously promoting the establishment of the "University of Applied Sciences"(UAS), and the Metropolitan University of Hong Kong has become a UAS. The characteristic of vocational education in Hong Kong is its high degree of internationalization, and the use of English is the key to international integration. It is suggested that the development of vocational education should be based on future needs, the integration of industry and education, school enterprise cooperation, and the construction of a connected education system from middle school to university and even master's degree.Professor Zhao Pengfei stated that apprenticeship is the best way to achieve industry education integration and school enterprise cooperation. The Chinese government policy requires all regions to actively carry out modern apprenticeship pilot programs through school enterprise joint enrollment and training. The Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security both support the apprenticeship system. There are more than 1000 pilot projects for modern apprenticeship system in China, with 2480 cooperative enterprises, benefiting more than 100000 students (apprentices). The pilot project for new apprenticeship system in enterprises has trained more than 20000 employees, with a clear requirement to train 1 million new apprentices from 2019 to 2021. The important achievements of modern apprenticeship system pilot are government policies, industry standards, and school enterprise models. Modern apprenticeship system is a "dual education", "dual identity", "work study alternation", and "job training". It refers to “school+enterprise”, “student+apprenticeship”, “learning+work”, and “education+training” respectively. The development of apprenticeship system vertically connects the primary, middle, and high-level apprenticeship systems, and horizontally connects them to the integration of general education and vocational education.Dr. Liu Yi Man said that Hong Kong acted as a super connector to promote the high-quality development of the "Belt and Road" vocational education. Promote China's vocational education to go overseas and help build an education powerhouse, with Hong Kong as the first stop, serving as a super connector for "going out " and "bringing in". Especially in the field of internationalization and artificial intelligence, it is very important. In the future, our country's vocational education will have great potential in international talent joint training, collaborative development of curriculum standards, and the clustering effect of overseas education. The continuous evolution of artificial intelligence technology has brought tremendous changes to the production models of various industries.Mr. David Leung Yiu Fai said that MTR Academy was established in 2016 to cooperate with the national the Belt and Road Initiative. It is a wholly-owned subsidiary of MTR Corporation and one of the earliest corporate colleges in Hong Kong. Our vision is to become a recognized center for railway management and technical education and research in the railway industry in Hong Kong, mainland China, and overseas. Through the MTR Academy, there are also master's programs in rail transit, joint courses with overseas universities, and community participation. Currently developing consulting services for the Middle East market.Professor Li Wai Chi said that the last era was the Internet+ era. The next era is the era of Al, make good use of Al, comprehensively popularize artificial intelligence knowledge, and improve students' artificial intelligence literacy. Relying on the platform of vocational colleges, we can use Unicom x financing to implement the policies and measures of different government departments on strengthening science and technology, education and talent. Colleges and enterprises in the two places can rely on the country and enterprises to jointly build the Belt and Road development and provide formal vocational skills training according to their human needs at different stages of development. Colleges and relevant administrative departments in both regions will jointly develop and construct an international vocational education and qualification system with Chinese characteristics.President Chris Cheung Kin Chung of CLP Power Academy stated that the title is "Power to Move Upward". The institute is not only studying for colleagues at the CLP Power, but can also be read to public, all students are part-time students. There are currently multiple courses, QF architecture, jointly offered with universities. Due to the fact that CLP Power is the most professional in the enterprise/industry, but not the most specialized in teaching, it is best to cooperate with universities to provide scenes for students to understand operations. Collaboration with VTC, some transitional courses, these courses form an ecosystem. Entering the mechanical and electrical industry, seeking opportunities to move upstream is to obtain a diploma (educational background). In addition to the diploma, there is also an exemption from the electrician license (industry qualification), which creates an ecological environment. Partners include the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department, the Hong Kong Council for Accreditation of Academic and Vocational Qualifications, and the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers.Dr. Liu Yung Chau expressed his gratitude during his closing remarks at the symposium. 2024 is the most important year in the development of the COEAHK. The inauguration ceremony was taking place on 12 January 2024. Both governments attach great importance to it, and Chief Secretary for Administration of HKSAR Mr. Chan Kwok-ki, Dr. Choi Yuk-lin, Secretary for Education, and Professor Sun Dong, Secretary for Innovation, Technology and Industry, all attended. The leaders of the National Association of Vocational Education of China visited Hong Kong this time, with the theme of the forum, "Building the Belt and Road through Hong Kong's Vocational Education Services," reflect a commitment to the strategic importance of vocational education in the Belt and Road Initiative. The first three speakers including Deputy Director General Feng Dajun, Dr. Wong Yau Kar, and Professor Zhao Pengfei giving keynote speeches from the three dimensions of "Vocational Education Going overseas", "Vocational Education Jointly Building the the Belt and Road" and "Integration of Industry and Education". Mr. David Leung Yiu Fai, Professor Li Wai Chi, President Chris Cheung Kin Chung and Dr. Liu Yi Man participated in the symposium to promote vocational education in Hong Kong and participate in the national strategy of the Belt and Road from the perspective of enterprises and educational institutions.Group Photo: From Left Dr. Wong Yu Kar, Madam Wang Wai Ching, ProfessorWong Yuk Shan, Dr. Liu Yung Chau, Mr. Feng Dajun, Madam Wu Cheng,Dr. Liu YiMan, Professor Reggie Kwan Ching Ping Copyright 2024 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

SINGAPORE, Dec 20, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - In today's fast-paced business world, writing a comprehensive business plan can feel overwhelming for entrepreneurs. However, with the advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI), this process is becoming more efficient and accessible. This guide shows how to use AI tools to create a business plan for your idea.Think of AI as your digital assistant, speeding up the first draft so you have more time to make it better. AI gives you a structure, but your own ideas and understanding of your business makes the plan unique.Embrace AI in Business Planning - Before you begin, you should know what goes into a business plan: a summary of your business, details about your company and offerings, and information about your market and competitors. You may also consider creating plans for your business sales, management, operations, and finances.Gather all your business details first. This makes it easier for AI to help you turn them into a plan.Feeding Information to AI - Start by providing a general overview of your business, including its name, target market, products or services, and financial projections. GoDaddy is sharing a prompt template below that can be used to provide information:"I'm developing a business plan for my company, [company name], a [industry] startup offering [product/service]. Please accept the information below about my company as a basis for developing a strong business plan."Creating Sections with AI Help - Breaking your business plan into sections and using specific prompts for each can streamline the process. AI can generate initial drafts for each part, which you can then review and edit. Here are some prompts to help guide you:1. Summary and Company Description:- "As a successful entrepreneur and seasoned strategist, draft an enticing executive summary and company description for [company name] in the [industry] sector."2. Products and Services:- "As an innovative product developer, provide a comprehensive description of [product/service] offered by my company."3. Market Analysis:- "As a market analyst, outline a detailed market analysis for [company name]."4. Competitive Analysis:- "Compile a concise competitive analysis for [company name], highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of key competitors."5. Marketing and Sales Plan:- "Create a thorough sales and marketing plan for [company name], including a detailed growth strategy."6. Value Proposition:- "Assume the perspective of a potential customer and identify the unique selling proposition of [company name]."7. Ownership and Management Plan:- "Outline the optimal structure, ownership, and management roles for [company name]."8. Operating Plan:"Craft an efficient operating plan for [company name], detailing infrastructure and risk management."9. Financial Plan:"Develop a comprehensive financial overview and funding request for [company name], including income statements and sales forecasts."10. Extra Information:This is where you can add any extra details like research or visuals.Finalizing Your Plan - Once you have drafts for each part, it's time to make it all fit together nicely. Your business plan should clearly show what your business is about and its path to success.Getting Feedback from AI - After refining your draft, ask AI to check for any missing parts, mistakes or inconsistencies. This is a good time for AI to help create a summary, mission statement, vision, values, and value proposition to ensure alignment with your business goals.Make a One-Page Plan - Lastly, create a simple one-page version of your business plan. It should include all the important points and be easy to understand. This step ensures clarity and focus, making it easier to communicate your business strategy to stakeholders. Remember, while AI helps a lot, it does not replace the ingenuity and oversight of human input to help ensure your unique business ideas are being reflected in your plan.AI can be a helpful tool for creating and growing your business’ digital presence. With GoDaddy Airo, an AI powered experience, you can embrace AI to streamline your business planning and operations, allowing you more time to focus on turning your entrepreneurial dreams into reality.Find out more how GoDaddy Airo can help your business idea get started online.About GoDaddy GoDaddy helps millions of entrepreneurs globally start and scale their businesses.

Reno, NV, Dec 19, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Winvest Group Limited (OTCQB: WNLV) ("Winvest"), an investment holding company with diverse media, entertainment, and technology portfolios, is thrilled to announce that its stock - currently traded on the OTC Markets under the ticker WNLV - was upgraded from "Pink Sheets" status to OTCQB, as approved by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), on December 9, 2024. Also known as "The Venture Market," OTCQB is the middle tier of the over-the-counter market for U.S. stocks."This massively important milestone reflects our commitment to growth, transparency, financial discipline, and shareholder value," said Jeffrey Wong, CEO of Winvest. "In addition, the move to OTCQB offers tremendous benefits, including enhanced visibility, increased trust, and better liquidity, which will only help to set us apart as we continue to pioneer a new model of content creation and sustainable entertainment investments."Recently, the company signalled that it would be strategically applying the Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) model to its media and entertainment holdings, which include full-length feature films and limited series produced by its Los Angeles-based subsidiary, IQI Media Inc. This approach allows for diversified revenue streams - from direct sales to licensing deals - as well as continuous audience engagement and data-driven investments based on financially sound performance metrics.IQI Media is also poised to roll out a proprietary SaaS solution for content distribution called Launchrr that aims to revolutionize the streaming ecosystem. Scheduled to debut and begin beta trials in 2025, Launchrr dramatically streamlines content production and distribution, speeding up the time to market, while also employing in-depth data analytics to monitor audience behavior and improve a streaming title's performance in real time."We see Launchrr as the behind-the-scenes wizard, not the front-of-the-stage showman," said Khiow Hui Lim, Founder of IQI Media and Chief Strategy Officer at Winvest. "It's a much-needed middleware solution to the streaming saga that tackles the industry's biggest issues head on. Using AI-driven intelligent automation, it offers real-time insights and earnings, interactive dashboards, predictive analytics, and blockchain-based security for intellectual property like ownership records and licensing contracts - all the things that content creators desperately need to have more control over their project's distribution and profitability."Altogether, these industry-leading advances make for an exciting moment for IQI Media and parent company Winvest. "Our noteworthy upgrade to the OTCQB tier, in conjunction with our adoption of the ARR model and continued investments in cutting-edge technology like Launchrr, puts us at the forefront of content innovation," said Jeffrey. "We believe that Winvest's emphasis on quality content, unique storytelling, and forward-thinking technological integration will define the next era of streaming media consumption."About Winvest Group LimitedHeadquartered in Reno, Nevada, Winvest is an investment holding company focused on media, entertainment, and technology. Shares in the company are currently traded on the OTC Markets (QB tier) under the stock ticker "WNLV," with plans to upgrade to Nasdaq and pursue an IPO in the near future.

All core assay results from the 2024 drill campaign at the Cisco Property have now been received and reported on.The Company also announces that all share purchase warrants originally issued in a December 2022 private placement financing were exercised in advance of their December 15, 2024 expiry date.

Since its acquisition in February 2024, we have been focused on the Cisco Property, which has far surpassed our lofty expectations," said Neil McCallum, Q2 Metals Vice President of Exploration. "With the final drill results now reported on from our 2024 exploration campaign, we are eager to resume work on Cisco in late January and expand on the exceptional results we've received so far.""We are pleased that the cash proceeds from the exercise of expiring warrants, as well as the exercise of other in-the-money warrants, will further add to Q2's strong balance sheet, providing us with a solid financial foundation from which we will continue to build shareholder value through the drill bit with our 2025 winter exploration program," said Alicia Milne, President and Chief Executive Officer of Q2 Metals. "Plans for the winter campaign at Cisco are being finalized and will be detailed early in the new year."Results for CS-24-020The analytical results reported herein represent 405 m of drilling over one (1) hole (CS-24-020), as well as the uppermost interval of drill hole CS-24-021, during the 2024 drill campaign. Complete highlighted intervals from hole CS-24-020, are summarized in Table 1 and represented in Figure 1, with two cross sections in Figures 2 and 3.Figure 1. Map of Recent Drill Holes with Analytical Results at Cisco PropertyDrill hole CS-24-020 was drilled on the same pad as hole CS-24-023 and approximately 150 m to the southeast of hole CS-24-019. The results reveal several separate mineralized intervals including the widest intervals: 26.5 m at 1.08% Li2O, 15.8 m at 1.43% Li2O, 13.5 m at 1.25% Li2O and 41.6 m at 0.90% Li2O.Figure 2. Cross Section C (looking northeast)All drill holes from the 2024 drill campaign are detailed in Figure 3 from northeast to southwest and represent a drill-defined strike length of approximately 850 m. The surface outcrops and drilling suggest that the mineralization may continue to the south for another 1,050 m.As previously reported, drill hole CS-24-023, drilled from the same drill pad as CS-24-020, confirms the continuity of the mineralized system to the southeast and the mineralized system remains open in both directions.Figure 3. Long Section containing all holes drilled to-date (looking southwest)Table 1. Summary of Analytical Results of Spring Drill Holes at Cisco PropertyAll intervals of greater than 2 m of core-length are included in the table. Internal dilution of non-pegmatite material was limited to intervals of less than 5 m. No specific grade cap or lower cut-offs were used during grade and width calculations. All intervals are reported as core widths and mineralized intervals in all the holes drilled thus far are not representative of the true width as the modelled pegmatite zones are being refined with every additional hole. Complete drill hole collar, lithology and assay information is available at: www.q2metals.com/property/cisco-lithium-property/Sampling, Analytical Methods and QA/QC ProtocolsDrill core was saw-cut with half-core sent for geochemical analysis and half-core remaining in the box for reference. The same side of the core was sampled to maintain representativeness. All drill core samples were shipped to SGS Canada's preparation facility in Val D'Or, Quebec, for standard sample preparation (code PRP92) which includes drying at 105°C, crushing to 90% passing 2 mm, riffle split 500 g, and pulverize 85% passing 75 microns. The pulps are then shipped by air to SGS Canada's laboratory in Burnaby, BC, where the samples are homogenized and subsequently analyzed for multi-element (including Li and Ta) using sodium peroxide fusion with ICP-AES/MS finish (code GE_ICM91A50). The Li grade presented herein was reported by SGS Canada as lithium oxide (Li 2O).Upcoming EventsAME Roundup Core ShackQ2 is pleased to have been selected as a participant in the core shack at the upcoming AME annual Roundup conference being held in Vancouver, BC from January 20 - 23, 2025.Vice President of Exploration Neil McCallum as well as senior project geologists will be on hand with core from the 2024 drill season at Cisco.
