僑務委員會委員長吳新興27日在僑生技職專班(俗稱3+4)招生及輔導工作經驗分享會開幕式表示,台灣要輸出優秀技職教育,鼓勵東南亞僑生來台就學,創造雙贏局面。
吳新興表示,僑委會除了推動海青班,並於103年開始擴大辦理3+4僑生技職專班,鼓勵僑生來台學得一技之長並取得學位,將來回到僑居國能開創事業,也可留在台灣貢獻所學,希望各校互相合作,擴大招收僑生。
吳新興指出,僑生教育是僑務工作最大成就之一,許多東南亞國家各行各業領袖人才都是留台校友。僑生教育推動一甲子以來,已培育超過12萬名的留台校友。他表示,許多僑生來自馬來西亞,期許未來能擴大招收越南、緬甸、菲律賓的僑生。另外,政府現正推動「新南向政策」,他也要求各校深入瞭解東南亞各國國情,吸引華僑子弟來台就學,並給予僑生關懷及輔導。
僑委會辦理僑生技職專班,至今有5所學校參與,明年將擴大為15所學校共襄盛舉。為了讓新參與之學校瞭解相業務,於27日舉辦工作經驗分享會,邀請同德家商、成功工商、莊敬高職、萬能工商、中山工商、三信家商、方曙商工、東泰高中、高苑工商、協志工商、六信高中、大德工商、大慶商工、樹德家商、華德工家及正修科大出席。
財團法人海外信用保證基金董事長林寶惜到場,說明提供建教僑生專班就學貸款業務,各校並進行經驗分享,也邀請外交部領事事務局、內政部移民署及新北市政府教育局人員到場座談。
State Officials Announce Continued Partnership to Promote Electric Vehicles
State Officials Announce Continued Partnership to Promote Electric Vehicles
Program Will Result in Consumer Awareness and Adoption of Electric Vehicles in the Northeast
BOSTON – December 27, 2016 – State energy and environment officials today announced the award of federal funding from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to assist in further collaboration between the Commonwealth and Plug In America to accelerate the deployment of electric, plug-in electric and fuel cell electric vehicles, collectively referred to as Zero Emission Vehicles (ZEVs), in the Massachusetts. DOE selected Plug in America and Clean Cities programs in Massachusetts, as well as in Connecticut, Rhode Island and Vermont, to provide funding for continued public, workplace and fleet events over the next two years. Massachusetts currently offers rebates to customers purchasing electric vehicles through the MOR-EV program. The Baker-Polito Administration recently announced $12 million in additional funding for MOR-EV, representing more than double the rebate funding over the lifetime of the program.
“The innovative test drive initiative funded by the program is proven to help shape consumer perceptions of driving electric and how easy it is to make the switch away from petroleum to make our environment cleaner,” said Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Matthew Beaton. “The continuation of Mass Drive Clean federal funding will leverage our successful experience in the Commonwealth with that of our fellow New England states towards a collaborative effort to promote the positive impacts of zero emissions vehicles.”
Mass Drive Clean is a highly successful pilot program funded through a DOE grant in 2015 that resulted in over 650 drivers and passengers test driving one or more electric vehicles at employer sponsored and public events. The program was continued this year with over 1000 test drives to date. The drives are a way for interested drivers to get behind the wheel of multiple makes and models of these clean vehicles. Each driver is surveyed before and after driving, with 83% saying that their overall opinion of a ZEV is better than before their test drive and 68% said that were more likely to purchase one now that they had experienced the performance of the cars. Plug In America has shown in California that about 10% of ride and drive participants will purchase a ZEV within six months. Surveys to Massachusetts test drivers are being sent about 6 months after their drive to document results here.
“Mass Drives Clean proves that by giving consumers the firsthand experience of operating an electric, they are much more likely to purchase a vehicle and help take a traditional vehicle off the road,” said Department of Energy Resources Commissioner Judith Judson. “The increased adoption of electric vehicles is a vital component of Massachusetts reducing emissions to meet our targets under the Global Warming Solutions Act
Automotive dealership training and recognition is another component of the DOE program and will be rolled out first in Massachusetts under this grant. This project is one of only three ZEV showcase projects funded by the U.S. DOE around the country, one in the mid-west and one in the northwest.
Plug In America is the leading national consumer voice promoting the use of plug-in electric vehicles in the United States to consumers, policymakers, auto manufacturers and others. Formed as a non-profit in 2008, Plug In America provides practical, objective information collected from our coalition of plug-in vehicle drivers, through public outreach and education, policy work and a range of technical advisory services. Our expertise represents the world’s deepest pool of experience of driving and living with plug-in vehicles. The organization conceived National Drive Electric Week and has advanced workplace charging by pioneering ride-and-drive events at such leading corporations as Google, Mattel and Paramount Pictures. www.pluginamerica.org.

(Boston Orange)波士頓安良工商會今(12月26)日中午,在波士頓華埠乞臣街會址舉行就職典禮,兩名會長陳仕維,黃立輝在紐英崙中華公所主席陳家驊監誓中,接過印信,連任會長一年。
經文處處長賴銘琪致詞。 |
波士頓安良工商會去年底發生會務震盪,總部介入處理後,指派七人小組接管。今年四月全美安良工商會在華府舉行年會時,獲選連任的兩名總理,陳達偉、鄧錦源和元老團主席伍健生等人決定,波士頓安良工商會今年不辦選舉,但指派4名幫辦,4名職員,繼續整頓。
七人小組成員中的陳仕維,黃立輝擔任會長。4名幫辦為黃國健,李天生,翁英宏,司徒炳思。4名職員為財政鄧北海,外交阮鴻燦,陳文浩,中文秘書伍輝民。
在兩名會長之外的其他五名七人小組成員為司徒炳思,翁英宏,鄧北海,周榮佳,阮鴻燦。
波士頓安良工商會在過去這一年間,不但整頓會務,還翻修樓宇。在七人小組接管後,大動土木,修好了漏水的天花板,翻新了樓頂的涼亭,目前還在繼續翻修外牆及窗戶,預計一個多月後可全部竣工,全部工程耗資近百萬元。
紐英崙中華公所主席陳家驊(右二)監交,陳仕維(右 一),黃立輝(左二)皆印。左一為司儀梅炳鈿。 |
一名熟悉安良工商會財務的會員透露,翻修後,波士頓安良工商會大樓更堅實,租金提高,收入多了,償還翻修款只是時間問題而已。該名會員也透露,波士頓安良工商會原本應有400到500名會員,但不少會員年事已高,不太出來參加活動,過去這一年間新加入的,約有幾時至100人。
今日共約40多人出席波士頓安良工商會就職典禮,其中包括波士頓洪門致公堂代表。
駐波士頓台北經濟文化辦事處處長賴銘琪應邀出席致詞,恭喜兩名會長就任,感謝該會長期支持中華民國,祝賀會務興隆。波士頓華僑文教中心主任歐宏偉出差在外,未克到場。
波士頓第一夜今年遷往波士頓公共圖書館舉行
(Boston Orange)還有5天,2017年就要來了。大波士頓迎接新年的”第一夜(First Night)”活動,今年主辦單位換人,主場地換成波士頓公共圖書館,所有活動都免費。
大波士頓中華文化協會(GBCCA)和褚玲舞蹈團仍大力支持”波士頓第一夜”,將陸續從中午12點45分起,在波士頓公共圖書館強森(Johnson)大樓瑞伯(Rabb)演講廳,以及下午1點15分起在波士頓公共圖書館的麥金(McKim)大樓,聯邦沙龍(Commomwealth
Salon)演出。
大波士頓中華文化協會今年在”波士頓第一夜”慶祝活動中安排有多項表演,包括1984年創辦的國樂團,半專業的知音舞韻舞蹈團,腰鼓舞,扯鈴團,都各有表演時段。
大波士頓中華文化協會每年都大規模組隊參加的大遊行,今年也將派”金雞”燈籠出場。不過主辦單位在宣傳時,強調的是遊行隊伍中將有中國龍。
由於經費有限,今年的”波士頓第一夜”內容有點縮水,水前區的午夜煙火取消了。在柯普利廣場的音樂,波士頓公共圖書館外牆上的燈光和人工煙火,將帶著大家倒數跨年。
今年的”波士頓第一夜”由Conventures公司承辦。該公司董事長Dusty Rhodes表示,”我們會把圖書館的外牆用燈光打亮,然後用顏色及光來倒數計時,那真的很酷”。
跨越兩天的這節慶活動,將從週六開始,有音樂,舞蹈,冰雕,以及一直走到波士頓廣場,欣賞穆加基金會所製作煙火的大遊行。這個晚上還有柯普利廣場的午夜倒數。所有活動都免費,查詢詳細資訊,或周日的活動時程,可上網wwwfirstnightboston.org。
尼登鎮(Needham)今年將有波士頓市近郊最大的新年除夕夜慶祝。一整天的活動包括踢踏舞,歌劇等等。從週六的早上10點半開始,一直進行至午夜的倒數計時派對。查詢詳情可上網 www.newyearsneedham.org。
塞冷市(Salem)和國家公園服務局合作,將以”第一日遠足(First Day Hike)”,揭開新年序幕。參加者可在早上10點到北華盛頓廣場的塞冷廣場遊樂園集合,在出發到德比碼頭燈塔前,先沿著廣場跑一圈。這1871年首次點亮的燈塔,將開放給參加遠足者。查詢資訊可洽978-745-9595。

Merry Christmas from President Obama and the First Lady
Merry Christmas from President Obama and the First Lady
President Obama and the First Lady just gave their annual holiday message from the White House for the last time. Check it out:
They talked about the values that bring Americans together over the holiday season:
The First Lady: The idea that we are our brother’s keeper and our sister’s keeper. That we should treat others as we would want to be treated. And that we care for the sick, feed the hungry, and welcome the stranger, no matter where they come from, or how they practice their faith.
The President: Those are values that help guide not just my family’s Christian faith, but that of Jewish Americans, and Muslim Americans; nonbelievers and Americans of all backgrounds. And no one better embodies that spirit of service than the men and women who wear our country’s uniform and their families.
And they called on us to support the Americans who serve us all year round: our men and women in uniform.
The First Lady: As always, many of our troops are far from home this time of year, and their families are serving and sacrificing right along with them. Their courage and dedication allow the rest of us to enjoy this season. That’s why we’ve tried to serve them as well as they’ve served this country. Go to JoiningForces.Gov to see how you can honor and support the service members, veterans and military families in your community -- not just during the holidays, but all year round.
So make sure to watch -- and stay tuned for a throwback clip.
"So as we look forward to the New Year, let’s resolve to recommit ourselves to the values we share. And on behalf of the all the Obamas -- Michelle, Malia, Sasha, Bo, and that troublemaker Sunny -- Merry Christmas, everybody."
