The London School of Science & Technology (LSST) is a privately managed higher education college which was founded by Mr. Syed Zaidi in 2003 with the vision to support local communities and encourage social cohesion. Through his successful leadership, LSST has grown to become one of the leading institutions of its kind, widening participation to include anyone with a desire for education. With a student population of 2,000, our learners' diversity reflects our ethos – to provide education to all students, regardless of their background and upbringing. We recognize that the conventional route into higher education does not work for everyone; therefore, we focus on what qualities our prospective students can bring to their learning experience rather than their qualifications. Our focus is on you – which is why we offer a flexible timetable to allow you to fit your studies around your daily responsibilities. Our headquarters are based at our London campus in Alperton, which houses our Senior Management Team and all central administrative functions. We have expanded our reach to include campuses in Luton and Birmingham, with each Campus having its management, administrative and academic teams. At LSST, we pride ourselves on offering a quality learning experience. Our institutions' intimate nature allows our dedicated staff to provide direct one-to-one support to our students, guaranteeing a rewarding and fulfilling route to success. Our current academic portfolio consists of career-focused courses delivered at Levels 3 to 6, particularly in the fields of Business (with several pathways), IT and Computing, and Hospitality Management. LSST is a new concept in higher education designed to integrate study into the life that you lead. Gaining higher-level skills and qualifications is essential, but sometimes it can be difficult or virtually impossible to fit traditional study into your life. That is why we have designed this new approach to learning. LSST is designed specifically for people who want to benefit from high-quality courses but have decided that the traditional student experience is not for them. We provide a focused teaching and learning environment that will lead to academic and professional qualifications. Moreover, this is precisely where our commitment lies and makes sure that our courses meet the criteria for an academic qualification – wherever possible, we have designed our courses around the standards for professional qualifications. We want every student that leaves LSST to have the relevant skills and knowledge that will help them secure employment in their chosen profession – so you have the potential to achieve an academic qualification plus a professional qualification, which could help make you even more attractive to employers. We offer a structured teaching week with the flexibility to choose morning or afternoon classes, wherever possible and numbers permitting, to help you study around your other commitments. This can be an ideal option if you are a mature student returning to education or need to fit your studies around your job. LSST puts you in charge. You manage your studies to suit your work responsibilities, commitments, and lifestyle – working towards an academic qualification is challenging, but it should not be a chore. Our course teams contain both academics and practicing professionals. They aim to work together to discover your subject from all angles, the theory, and the practice. Moreover, unlike many other institutions, our tutors maintain high-class contact levels and offer support to help ensure you are learning throughout your time at LSST. LSST validates all of our awards, so you can be confident that you are studying at the university level and be assured that the content is of high quality. The fees that you pay at LSST are significantly lower than those at many other comparable institutions. Fees cover all of your classes, online tutorials, some of the learning materials, and access to the College Learning Resource Centre. As a student at LSST, you also have reading rights to LSST. We firmly believe that LSST gives you access to quality and relevant learning experience at a price that represents excellent value for money. We also believe that you will be able to judge the returns on your investment through your improved career prospects.

In cooperation with several universities, we also offer our scientific staff the possibility to graduate their Ph.D. While private persons are the main driver behind the German energy transition ('Energiewende'), companies still face enormous challenges in keeping pace with production patterns, strategies, and energy management. Thus, an enhanced engagement of corporate actors, particularly employees and managers at their workplaces, is needed for a successful energy transition. This is the basis for the research project "enabler"–"employee initiatives for renewable energy". It focuses on citizens who are already taking an active part in the German energy transition by privately switching to green energy providers, installing solar panels on their roofs, or participating in renewable energy initiatives. This private momentum towards renewable energies could potentially propel substantial spill-over effects into the corporate sector. The project investigates if and why citizens limit their engagement to the private sphere or if and under which conditions they also try to promote renewable energy and energy efficiency in their workplaces. Do employers and management support individual initiatives for the energy transition? Or do active employees have to overcome organizational barriers and cope with managerial disapproval? So far, research and practice do not pay sufficient attention to the individual initiative of employees. Therefore, the project analyzes if and how active citizens can transfer their impulses for renewable energy into their workplaces. This so-called 'spill-over effect' could help push companies towards the sustainable energy transition and develop a culture of participation and change. The project takes a closer look at the barriers that potentially hinder the successful implementation of renewable energy projects in companies and other organizations. Based on the findings, the project provides tools and platforms for companies that help to set free and enable employee engagement for renewable energy.

As envisioned by the Legislative Branch of our National Government, Republic Act No. 9485, otherwise known as the Anti-Red Tape Act of 2007, should bring about the highest degree of efficiency and effectiveness in the delivery of public service. As a higher education institution and state university for that matter, the Nueva Ecija University of Science and Technology has long since committed itself to become a dynamic social system. It has steadfastly embraced the commitment to be a market place of ideas being home to scholars, theorists, and practitioners in various fields of human endeavors. It never rests lengthily upon a specific comfort zone but preferably continuously contemplates reengineering or reinventing its operational system. This Citizen's Charter, as a legal provision of R.A. No. 0485 is just proof of NEUST's capability, willingness, and readiness to adopt relevant operational systems and procedures to improve further the delivery of services for the benefit of its clientele, which is the ultimate goal of the Anti-Red Tape Act of 2007. As indicated earlier, we are always open to all comments and suggestions that will further enhance our duties and functions as public servants. Consequently, this makes this Citizen's Charter always ready for further enhancement. The Nueva Ecija University of Science and Technology (NEUST) started in June 1908 as a vocational course at the Wright Institute in San Isidro, Nueva Ecija, where young Filipinos were trained woodworking and basic telegraphy. Said vocational course lasted until SY 1927-1928 when the public secondary School was transferred to Cabanatuan City. Our mission is "To develop new knowledge and technologies and transform human resources into productive citizenry to bring about development impact to local and international communities." NEUST is a locally responsive and internationally relevant and recognized University of Science and Technology. However, on June 9, 1929, the School continued its operation in San Isidro, under a new name, Nueva Ecija Trade School (NETS), with woodworking as the vocational course offered and the existing secondary curriculum inherited from the Wright Institute. To meet the increasing demand for vocational education in the whole province, the trade school was transferred on June 7, 1931, to Cabanatuan City. Enrolment increased; however, the program was interrupted in December 1941 by the outbreak of the Second World War in the Pacific. Immediately after the war, the trade school was reopened on September 6, 1945. A rehabilitation program took place. The trade school continued with its mission of meeting students' vocational and workforce needs coming from both Nueva Ecija and the nearby provinces. On June 8, 1948, a dressmaking course was opened, and female students were admitted to the School. A few years later, food trades and cosmetology courses were also offered.
