Global Tutoring Company Prepares for Surge in Online Tutoring

Tatyana Stemkovski2020-03-13T12:20:46-04:00March 13th, 2020|Tags: child education franchise, child services, In-Home Tutoring Franchise, Online Tutoring, Tutor Doctor, tutoring franchise|

One-to-one Tutoring Program offers E-Learning Capabilities as Families Prepare for Coronavirus

TORONTO — As countries are working to contain the coronavirus and prevent its spread, concerns have quickly been turning to the health and safety of students in classrooms across the nation. Medical experts have begun to coalesce around the importance of “social distancing” but what does this mean for the students across our country? One global provider of online tutoring, Tutor Doctor, has begun to get a glimpse of where the coronavirus may be heading as it relates to education.

“We’ve already begun to see our online tutors and platform being used by students and families due to travel quarantines” said Frank Milner, President of Tutor Doctor. “Fortunately, our online platform is simple for tutors and students of any age to use.”

The company is already seeing a 120 percent increase in demand for online tutoring since news of the outbreak emerged.

“This is just the beginning and we can handle much higher demand spikes than this,” Milner stated. “But we’re not taking anything for granted. We are already in communication with our 94,000 tutors to ensure they’re well-prepared for what’s to come.”

Schools in China, the Middle East and Europe have or are beginning to consider suspending class. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is urging Americans to prepare for potential school closure due to the threat of outbreak in the United States. While this may be a direction taken to keep children healthy, it also interrupts children’s studies, social interaction, and academic progress which leaves families seeking alternatives.

Families are looking for more than just an online resource, but a true academic experience best fitting their children. Even in the online space, a tutor must know how to connect with their student, tailoring their program while continuously providing guidance and valuable learning skills.

Another valuable feature in online learning is the ability to record every session, so the student can review it later. This helps students retain information and refresh their memory before an important exam or assignment. Tutor Doctor’s education team found this feature especially valuable to students who may have their class schedule fragmented or interrupted for unforeseen circumstances, as it allows them to jump back in where they left off.

Express Employment Professionals Survey: 87% of U.S. Workers Agree Education Revolution is Needed to Prepare Students for Workforce

Tatyana Stemkovski2020-03-11T11:08:45-04:00March 11th, 2020|Tags: business services, Express Employment Professionals, professional education, staffing solutions|

OKLAHOMA CITY — Nearly 9 in 10 employees (87%) say a whole new approach to education, skills training and learning, or an Education Revolution, is needed to better prepare people for the workforce.

This is according to a newly released survey conducted by The Harris Poll and commissioned by Express Employment Professionals. An expanded analysis of the full results, including survey methodology, can be found here.

Regardless of generation, majorities agree that what is taught in school does not always translate to career success. More than half of U.S. employees (54%) say schools are not doing a good job of preparing the next generation of workers for what their needs are after school, and 4 in 5 (80%) say the education system has failed to evolve to the needs of the workforce.

The national survey of 1,206 U.S. employees ages 18 and older was conducted online by The Harris Poll between Dec. 5 and Dec. 30, 2019.

Work Experience Programs Lacking
Eighty-five percent of workers believe degrees should require on-the-job experience, not just coursework, yet close to half, 45%, say they did not participate in any work experience programs (e.g., internships, shadowing, apprenticeships, co-op placements) while in school.

Few Use Education Daily at Work
Sixty-seven percent of American workers say they are employed in the same field/profession in which they received their degrees or certifications, but more than 3 in 4 (77%) agree that they never learned the majority of their day-to-day job duties in school. Consequently, more than 9 in 10 (92%) agree there needs to be more of a balance in education to match actual career options.

Advanced Degrees Helpful, but Not Essential
Although the majority of U.S. workers, 83%, say their education has been useful to their career, only 18% say it has been absolutely essential. Still, 7 in 10 (70%) appear to equate a degree with success as they say getting any degree is better than no degree at all.

Who Should Pay for College?
When considering who should pay for college, there is no clear consensus.

Government: (Gen Z, 54%; millennials, 32%; Gen X, 23%; boomers/seniors, 14%)
The student: (Gen Z, 26%; millennials, 33%; Gen X, 43%; boomers/seniors, 52%)

Continual Learning is Essential
Nearly 4 in 5 (79%) agree anyone who doesn’t continue to upskill in their career will be left behind in the workforce, but only 33% of U.S. employees have returned to school after entering the workforce.

Seventy-three percent feel prepared for jobs of the future, but when asked about specific skills, only half or less are knowledgeable in these areas.

“The jobs of tomorrow won’t wait for workers to take their time to learn the necessary skills,” said Bill Stoller, CEO of Express. “The sooner we align what is taught in school and upskilling at companies with the demands of the workforce, the easier it will be to create large talent pools of workers necessary for a stable and successful economy.”

Venture X to Attend 2020 Hunter Hotel Investment Conference

Tatyana Stemkovski2020-03-11T10:53:55-04:00March 11th, 2020|Tags: blend of boutique hotel and modern office styles, shared workspace and community, tech-driven flexible workspaces, United Franchise Group, Venture X|

Growing Leader in Coworking Industry to Showcase Franchise Opportunity at Annual Conference.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — For the second year in a row, Venture X – an emerging flexible office space provider renowned for its high-level, boutique hotel-style spaces – will feature its franchise opportunity and serve as a gold sponsor at the 2020 Hunter Hotel Investment Conference inside the Atlanta Marriott Marquis, March 18-20.

The conference, which serves as a hotbed of the nation’s leading hoteliers and industry professionals, presents an incredible opportunity for Venture X. As the concept continues to resonate with and appeal to likeminded investors and influencers in the space, the South Florida-based franchise eyes the conference as a springboard to continued growth success in 2020 and beyond.

“There are prominent parallels between owning a hotel and owning a coworking space, which makes investing in Venture X so attractive,” said hotelier and Venture X Franchisee Raj Chudasama. “Not only are the processes similar when talking about aspects like site selection, filling out the space, concierge-level services and what have you, but Venture X is also a premier provider in the industry with a unique value proposition – both from an design standpoint and the clientele we target.”

Venture X locations, purposely crafted by leaders in workspace design and complimented with contemporary furnishings from Herman Miller, exhibit a dynamic and upscale flexible office space that resemble a boutique hotel while exuding hospitality and professionalism.

Because of its space and the focus on creating a world-class work environment tailored to the modern professional, Venture X’s franchise opportunity provides interested investors – especially those in the hotel industry – an understandable and identifiable path toward profitability.

As a result, hotel-industry professionals like Chudasama in Grapevine, Texas, Mani Patel in Plano, Texas, and Kamal Rama in Charlotte have bought into Venture X and its mission.

For those planning to attend the Hunter Hotel Investment Conference, Venture X will set up shop at booth No. 203 with brand representatives available on March 18 (5 – 7 p.m.), March 19 (7:30 a.m. – 8 p.m.) and March 20 (8 a.m. – 1:30 p.m.).

Attendees interested in speaking with Venture X can schedule a meeting beforehand with either President Jason Anderson (janderson [AT] ufgcorp [DOT] com) or Director of Sales Mark Patek (mpatek [AT] ufgcorp [DOT] com).

Many Venture X franchisees have backgrounds in real estate, finance, hotels or have experience as landlords. Currently, the franchisor is seeking single-unit and multi-unit operators. The brand’s initial franchise fee is $79,500 with a total investment cost ranging from $1.1M–$3.4M.

Backed by the powerhouse United Franchise Group – a group of affiliated, award winning family of companies – Venture X has the support needed to grow exponentially, both stateside and abroad, in the coming months and years.

Leading non-medical home care company expands across North America to deliver quality personal and companion care services.

CINCINNATI — FirstLight® Home Care, an award-winning provider of non-medical home care, is pleased to announce it is expanding its caregiving services to Canada. Sam Riad, CEO of Comfort of Senior Living, has signed on as a master franchise and will operate as FirstLight Home Care of Canada.

Riad currently operates 10 Comfort of Senior Living retirement communities across the Province of Ontario. The master franchise agreement will allow Riad to introduce the FirstLight Home Care brand and deliver the company’s non-medical home care services to a brand-new market.

“We are thrilled to bring our FirstLight brand to Canada,” said Jeff Bevis, CEO and Co-Founder of FirstLight Home Care. “International expansion has always been part of our strategy, and we believe we have found a solid master franchise partner in Sam Riad.

Riad and his team will bring the same culture of care and commitment to quality service to residents in Canada by offering FirstLight’s companion and personal caregiving services to adults who need assistance. The partnership is a natural complement to existing demand and future growth in Canada.

“We recognized the tremendous success of FirstLight in the U.S and realized how beneficial this model would be to the Canadian market, especially with the recent increasing trend of older adults wishing to stay at home longer,” said Riad. “We are passionate about helping individuals in our communities, and FirstLight sets the pace by offering innovative home care services that ensure people in need receive premium care.”

In Support of National Invest In Veterans Week, Assisted Living Locators Offers 10 Percent Initial Franchise Fee Discount to Encourage Veteran Business Owners

Tatyana Stemkovski2020-03-02T10:00:02-05:00March 2nd, 2020|Tags: assisted living communities, Assisted Living Locators, franchisee sales training, in-home care, independent retirement options, memory care, senior care placement|

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — In support of National Invest In Veterans Week, March 1 – 7, Assisted Living Locators, a nationwide senior placement and referral franchisor, announced today it is offering veterans a 10 percent initial franchise fee discount to encourage and honor aspiring veteran business owners.

Assisted Living Locators is a veteran-friendly franchisor with an affordable, low-cost franchise fee, a 10 percent veteran discount, and comprehensive training and mentorship platform, according to Founder and CEO RN Angela Olea. With 130 franchisees in 36 states and the District of Columbia, the company is ranked in Entrepreneur’s 2020 Franchise 500®, Franchise Business Review’s 2020 Top Franchises Report and the Inc. 5000 list of the nation’s fastest growing private companies.

Veterans are buying into franchises at a record pace. According to the International Franchise Association, one of every seven franchises in America is owned by a veteran. “Veterans make great franchisees because they have the skills it takes to own and run a successful business – a mixture of leadership, hard work and dedication, and the ability to follow systems and procedures,” stated Olea.

“Franchising can be a tremendous opportunity for veterans because the business framework is already in place,” she explained. “As an established, top-ranked senior placement brand, Assisted Living Locators offers the entire package for aspiring veteran business owners. Not only do we have a proven, successful business model, but we also offer exceptional training and support for our franchisees.”

Olea noted that some of their best Assisted Living Locators franchisees are veterans, such as Arizona franchisee Dustin Baker, recently named Franchise Business Review’s 2019 Rock Star Franchise Owner.

Baker served in the United States Army as a combat medic in an artillery unit during Operation Iraqi Freedom. He was also an administrative supervisor at an outpatient surgical ward at William Beaumont Army Medical Center in El Paso, TX.

As a top Assisted Living Locators franchise producer, Baker helps and mentors his fellow franchisees and also passionately cares for his senior clients and families, the company and community.

“After my career as a combat medic ended, I wanted to own a business that would make a positive impact on my community,” said Baker. “My journey in helping and serving others led me to the role of Assisted Living Locators franchise owner to provide care and guidance to seniors and families in my community.”

“As thousands of men and women return home from war, it is important to acknowledge the skills they have acquired during their military careers,” Olea added. “They operate their businesses the same way they served their country, with integrity and dedication, and possess the strong characteristics that make an outstanding franchise entrepreneur. We encourage them to join our organization.”

About Assisted Living Locators

Richmond Pita Pit Grand Opening is Friday with $5 Pitas, Serving Fresh-Grilled Flavor-Filled™ Food to VCU Students and the Downtown Areas

Tatyana Stemkovski2020-02-27T11:43:04-05:00February 27th, 2020|Tags: fast-casual restaurant, food franchise, healthy food choices, made-to-order pitas, Pita Pit|

RICHMOND, Va. — Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) students have a new place to work and eat in downtown Richmond as Jordan Anderson prepares for the grand opening of his very own Pita Pit, the alternative fast-food option that’s healthy and flavorful. The grand opening will take place Friday, February 28th at the restaurant location: 815 W. Cary Street near the VCU campus.

Anderson knew he wanted to open a business ever since watching CBS’s Undercover Boss. “I remember thinking it’s something I could do one day,” he said in an interview on his opening day.

The downtown Richmond area and VCU campus will enjoy $5 pitas all day February 28th to celebrate. “I’m also employing a lot of students,” said Anderson, “they are great ambassadors who support a healthy lifestyle. Go Rams!”

Consumer eating trends have shifted toward healthier options and Pita Pit has created an entire culture and proven franchise system to meet the growing demand. Pita Pit franchising is a great way to become part of the booming restaurant industry.

The fresh made-to-order pitas are completely customizable and Anderson couldn’t choose one favorite. Instead, he said he loves the gyro and chicken pesto. He added that Pita Pit includes Mediterranean options without pine nuts which is great for those with allergies.

I have fond memories of eating at the Pita Pit in my hometown of Mason City, Iowa so this is a dream come true,” said Anderson. “The Pita Pit franchise model gives me all the tools I need to be successful.”

About Pita Pit

Since opening its first restaurant in the U.S. in 1999, Pita Pit Inc. has continued to grow as one of the healthiest restaurant franchises in the country. Offering a healthier and more flavorful alternative to traditional fast-food, Pita Pit’s made-to-order pitas feature a customizable mix of freshly grilled protein, vegetables, cheeses and zesty sauces all flavorfully rolled into a delicious pita or salad. The company was founded in Ontario, Canada in 1995 and now boasts more than 580 locations across 11 countries, in 2019 Pita Pit landed on Entrepreneur Magazine’s Franchise 500 list.
