Changing perception

The current government education funding agenda is positioning Further Education as the prime source of training for employers. For years FE has shied away from these markets as non priority, but FE is now faced without many options but to engage this market and ultimately grow this provision for their establishment. What barriers or areas of concern do you think employers have with Further Education?

Wii Fit

Is this simply a way of maximising profits for Nintendo? It seems that each time they have a product in demand, wii consoles, wii play and now wii fit there is a massive short supply of product. Looking on-line highlights all those suppliers that are now able to charge, in some instances, more than twice the RRP. I'm sure this is yet another consumer trap - loads of pre launch hype, huge demand, low level of stock to give the consumer the pressure of sourcing the latest must have item. SORT IT OUT NINTENDO!!!!!
