DENVER, April 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The State of Colorado approved an Associate of Applied Science Degree for Apprentices (Apprenticeship Degree) to be offered at Emily Griffith Technical College (Emily Griffith) in Denver.

Emily Griffith is leading the nation in the expansion of registered apprenticeship as a viable higher education opportunity.

New degree gives registered apprentices the opportunity to earn a degree while “earning and learning” on the job.

“Technical colleges in Colorado function as workforce education specialists, yet have never before had the ability to provide an associate degree,” said Randy Johnson, executive director of Emily Griffith. “This groundbreaking degree elevates apprenticeship and the workforce.”

“This is good legislation that benefits all parties and aligns with State of Colorado education and workforce goals around achievement of seamless career pathways and talent development for strategic industries,” said Marilyn Akers Stansbury, CEO, Independent Electrical Contractors Rocky Mountain (IECRM).

The benefits of the Apprenticeship Degree are plentiful.

And, when you’re looking to move up, this degree proves how valuable you are. You can have it all.”

“Apprenticeships are a great way for Coloradans to gain skills to fill in-demand jobs and earn money while doing it,” said Governor Jared Polis. “In Colorado, we are committed to making our workforce even stronger, and ensuring Coloradans have the skills to get good jobs and businesses have the talent needed to drive our economy forward. This new credential can help connect more Coloradans to needed skills that lead to good-paying jobs. I appreciate the work of the sponsors on this legislation and look forward to seeing Coloradans take advantage of it.”

Most registered apprenticeship programs take two to five years to complete. As the largest apprenticeship training provider in Colorado, Emily Griffith Technical College serves over 5,300 registered apprentices annually. The college works with business and industry, locally and nationally, to create hands-on, paid job opportunities and college pathways for Coloradans.

Fresh Technology Launches “On the Fly” App to Help Restaurants Improve Kitchen Performance in Real Time

New mobile app debuts at National Restaurant Association Show; brings KDS data to life with simple, actionable scoring for operators on the move

CHICAGO, May 17, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Fresh Technology, the company behind Fresh KDS, today announced the launch of “On The Fly”, a new mobile app that gives restaurant operators a real-time kitchen score powered by actual KDS performance data. The app will debut at the National Restaurant Association Show in Chicago, where Fresh Technology is exhibiting for the first time.

Fresh KDS On The Fly puts the most important insights in the palm of your hand, where operators actually need them. It’s about turning complex data into immediate action.

Built to work seamlessly with Fresh KDS, “On The Fly” tracks speed of service, consistency, and kitchen activity to generate a simple, dynamic score that helps operators understand how their kitchen is performing—at a glance, from anywhere.

 

“Most kitchen data today is locked away in dashboards or buried in spreadsheets,” said Shaun Shankel, CEO of Fresh Technology. “On The Fly puts the most important insights in the palm of your hand, where operators actually need them. It’s about turning complex data into immediate action.”

The app is designed for everyone from single-store owners to multi-unit operators. Independent operators often don’t have the time or resources for deep data analysis. “On the Fly” gives them instant clarity, helping them spot issues and make improvements on the fly—no analyst required. At the same time, larger restaurant groups can use the app to push performance visibility and accountability all the way to the store level, bridging the gap between their analytics teams and front-line managers.

Fresh Technology sees “On the Fly” as the first in a series of tools aimed at redefining what a KDS can do. While most native KDS solutions focus solely on routing tickets, Fresh is using its platform to unlock deeper operational insights and deliver more value through data.

“Our goal is to move beyond the basics of ticket handling and help restaurants actually improve how they operate,” said Shankel. “By making data more accessible, understandable, and actionable, we can give operators a real edge—regardless of size.”

Visit Fresh Technology at Booth 8331

NRA Show attendees can demo “On the Fly” and see how it integrates with Fresh KDS at Booth 8331 in the tech pavilion. The app is now available to all Fresh KDS users via iOS and Android.

About Fresh Technology

Fresh Technology is the creator of Fresh KDS, a cloud-first kitchen display system used by thousands of restaurants nationwide. Known for its ease of use, reliability, and POS-agnostic design, Fresh KDS helps independent and multi-unit restaurants run faster, more consistent kitchens. Fresh Technology is committed to unlocking the power of kitchen data to help operators thrive.

SEBERANG PERAI, Malaysia, May 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Trensor Electronics Sdn Bhd, the Malaysian subsidiary of Trensor Co Ltd—a leading manufacturer of automotive pressure sensors—held a groundbreaking ceremony to mark the commencement of construction on its new manufacturing plant at the Penang Technology Park @Bertam in Penang, Malaysia.

The new plant—a four-storey facility with an approximate floor area of 10,000 square meters and an estimated investment of RM100 million—is expected to begin mass production of automotive pressure sensors before Q2 2026. At full capacity, it will employ over 200 workers and generate more than RM200 million in annual sales. Trensor has also reserved space on its current land lots to accommodate future expansions.

The ceremony was attended by YAB Chow Kon Yeow, the Chief Minister of Penang, YB H’ng Mooi Lye, the Penang State Executive Councillor (EXCO) for Local Government and Town&Country Planning, as well as representatives from various local organizations, including the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA), Northern Corridor Implementation Authority (NCIA) and InvestPenang.

In his speech, YAB Chow Kon Yeow welcomed Trensor’s entry into Penang’s vibrant industrial ecosystem and emphasized its role in strengthening the state’s electrical and electronics value chain, particularly in automotive electronics.

Zhou Wenbo, General Manager of Trensor Electronics Sdn Bhd, stated: “The decision by Trensor Co Ltd to establish its first-ever overseas factory in Penang, Malaysia, was driven by the state’s world-class infrastructure, business-friendly governance, high quality of life, cultural affinity, and abundant pool of high-tech talent attracted to the ‘Silicon Valley of the East’.”

“MIDA, InvestPenang, the Seberang Perai City Council, and all local authorities have provided strong support in helping Trensor turn its globalization strategy into a concrete reality today,” Zhou added.

Trensor Co Ltd specializes in the development and manufacture of automotive pressure sensors, ranking highly in annual output, automation, and vertical integration. Its world-class products are included in the procurement systems of major global automakers such as Ford and Geely, as well as Tier 1 suppliers like Cummins and Hanon Systems. Approximately 60% of the company’s revenue is derived from exports, primarily to North America and Europe. Its pressure sensors are also used in the air conditioning systems of Perodua vehicles.

The Penang facility will support Trensor’s strategic expansion into Southeast Asia’s growing automotive markets and beyond.
