CHICAGO, IL, April 18, 2013 (Press-News.org) Recent Kaplan College Palm Springs (Calif.) graduate Jesus Navarro currently works as a medical technician at a drug and alcohol recovery center, but not long ago he held a full-time job at a grocery store. As one of Kaplan Higher Education Campuses' more than 3,030 recent graduates, he credits his new career to the school's hands-on focus and the faculty and staff's dedication to his individual needs.
"Kaplan's flexible schedules and programs made it possible for me to work full-time and attend school," said Jesus. "Being married and having a three-year-old daughter made for some interesting study times, but it was worth it."
The thought of going back to school to learn new skills was intimidating for the 33-year-old husband and father, but his wife and sister were Kaplan College graduates and enjoying their new careers. Jesus always had been interested in the medical field and, with that in mind, he enrolled in the medical assistant program.
"The quality of courses was top notch; who better to teach a medical assistant course than someone currently working in the field?" the January 2013 graduate continued.
Upon completing his externship, the school's career services team presented several fitting job opportunities and Jesus started his new position at the recovery center less than two months after completing his program. While he had not considered this area of the field, after interviewing he knew it was a good fit and loves what he is doing.
Jesus' career success story is one of many who graduated in the first quarter of 2013 with a degree or diploma from Kaplan Higher Education Campuses, which caters to adult learners that seek an education directly related to professional goals and a high level of customized academic and career support.
Kaplan Higher Education Campuses' educational institutions are accredited by one of several national accreditors recognized by the U.S. Department of Education.

Autoglass Launches New Aid to Rain-Drenched Breakdowns
2013-04-18
Autoglass has just announced the introduction of its new bespoke wet weather solution - an extendable canopy fixed to its mobile technician's vans, known as the Vanbrella .

Ecological dimensions of biofuels: state of the science
Are biofuels a renewable, environmentally friendly energy source? The Ecological Society of America reviews bioethanol and biodiesel in conventional production as well as feedstocks still in development. Biofuels in commercial scale production are made from the sugars and oils of food crops, and share the ecological impacts of high intensity agriculture. Corn, the primary biofuel source in the United States, demands a lot of fuel to produce fuel. It needs nitrogen fertilizer, fixed using energy-intensive industrial ...

2013-04-17
Philadelphia, PA, April 16, 2013 – Atherosclerosis – sometimes called "hardening of the arteries" – is a leading cause of death and morbidity in Western countries.

ALMA pinpoints early galaxies at record speed
2013-04-17
The most fertile bursts of star birth in the early Universe took place in distant galaxies containing lots of cosmic dust. These galaxies are of key importance to our understanding of galaxy formation and evolution over the history of the Universe, but the dust obscures them and makes them difficult to identify with visible-light telescopes. To pick them out, astronomers must use telescopes that observe light at longer wavelengths, around one millimetre, such as ALMA.
"Astronomers have waited for data like this for over a decade. ALMA is so powerful that it has revolutionised ...
