New Chicago Vegan Restaurant Healthy Diet Menu Featured at VeganRestaurantsChicago.net

Over the last few years healthy dining has become a very hot trend. Vegan Restaurants have stepped up to service this growing niche. When visiting the "Windy City," there are a number of Vegan Restaurants worth checking out.

Chicago, IL, August 30, 2012 (Straight Line PR) -- Veganism is the practice of abstaining from the use of animal products. Over the past few years Vegan Restaurants have been growing very quickly to service this growing trend. Some of the top athletes in certain endurance sports such as the Ironman competition practice veganism.

Common vegan dishes include falafel, hummus, veggie burritos, veggie stir-fry, and pasta primavera. The preparation of these dishes is now being done by world class chefs who have mastered the art of working with ingredients such as tofu, tempeh, and seitan.

With vegan restaurants becoming ever more common in the greater Chicago area, the problem is no longer whether a hungry vegan can find a nice restaurant. The problem is now which vegan restaurant to choose. For example, who has the best prices? Who specializes in certain types of ethnic-style vegan dishes? And which place is the closest? How can vegans find this information, quickly and reliably? The new web site http://www.VeganRestaurantsChicago.net is designed specifically to answer those questions and more.

"We are huge fans of Vegan Cuisine," says Andres Reservus, owner of VeganRestaurantsChicago.net . "You have to taste great Vegan dishes to understand why this is the hottest trend in dining. Every month we feature one exciting menu and vegan restaurant in Chicago. We are thrilled by the feedback we have been receiving from our health conscious visitors."

Ecotech Institute Launches Hands-on Power Utility Technician Program

Aging Power Utility Workforce Requires New, Savvy Technicians

Denver, Colorado, August 29, 2012 - Ecotech Institute, the first and only college focused entirely on preparing America’s workforce for careers in renewable energy and sustainability, is now taking applications for its new two-year Power Utility Technician degree program focused on training power utility technicians. The program, which will launch in October, will help fill a need in the power utility sector as a growing number of power utility technicians are retiring from the field and highly trained employees are in demand. Ecotech has responded to this need by creating a practical program focused on the ever-changing power utility industry.

With input from subject matter experts who have more than 55 years of combined utility experience, Ecotech designed its Power Utility Technician program to prepare graduates for careers in power generation, with specialization in power plant operations and maintenance. Students will receive immersive and hands-on training that focuses on providing a solid grounding in, and a comprehensive understanding of, electric utility distribution systems, grid and smart grid.

“We are excited about the applicability and cutting-edge nature of this program and are thankful to industry gurus Dan Sachse and Mark Fox for sharing their expertise,” says Michael Seifert, president of Ecotech Institute. “Demand is at an all-time high for people who understand the grid and the future of power utilities and we look forward to leading the way in preparing students for jobs in this area.”

Upon successful completion of the Power Utility Technician program, students will be prepared to:

* Apply the fundamentals of power generation, so they can operate and maintain power plants

* Use their knowledge of high voltage systems to maintain and operate grid infrastructure, smart grids, and distribution systems

* Use the fundamentals of electrical theory and related knowledge to design, build, repair, calibrate and modify electrical components, circuitry, controls and machinery

* Meet industry standards within the electrical engineering, power production and distribution fields

Ecotech’s comprehensive Power Utility Technician program offers a balanced education of soft skills (communication, workplace etiquette), and math and science basics and technology skills, but the educational emphasis is on hands-on, practical training in modern labs.

Ecotech Institute’s website outlines each of its programs to help answer common questions such as, “Is this program right for me?”, “What will I learn?” and “Why Ecotech?” In addition to offering curriculum information, the site explains what to expect from the program, which skill sets are most desirable for this field of study, and what careers are available in cleantech industries.

With the addition of the Power Utility Technician program, Ecotech Institute, which is accredited by the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools, offers six highly practical associate’s degree programs that provide graduates with skills valued by today’s alternative renewable energy employers.

Ecotech’s next round of classes begins in October and applications are always accepted.

In addition to the Power Utility program, Ecotech Institute offers the following:

* Solar Energy Technology, Associate of Applied Science

* Wind Energy Technology, Associate of Applied Science

* Renewable Energy Technology, Associate of Applied Science

* Energy Efficiency Program, Associate of Applied Science

* Electrical Energy Technology, Associate of Applied Science
