☀What have we been up to this summer so far? Sharon Yang, CFA led a session on Building Wealth for the California Climate Action Corps. Last week Marion Araque, M.Ed led an awesome workshop on Authentic Networking during a hybrid event for ScholarMatch first-gen scholars in San Francisco. Kristen Vellinger kicked off our "Think Like a Recruiter" community of practice series. We've also been busy providing content for interns and employers for the EDICT Internship program hosted by Elemental Excelerator and Clean Energy Leadership Institute. A manager who's going through our supervisor training shared: "So impressed with this program. Never managed people before. I’ve learned so much. Really got the help that I need. Helped me with my career. Working at a small org and never had the capacity to build out HR capacity. I love this program so far." Let's keep it up!

Do you deliver direct career services and coaching? Are you a Career Coach or Career Advisor serving first-gen, low-income job hunters? We're hosting our annual training series -- called "Think Like a Recruiter" this year -- and you don't want to miss it! Jasper Hanowell from Summer Search signed up for FutureMap's training last year to make sure his career coaching advice is current and relevant to today's job market. ☀ "I loved getting to meet others that are doing similar work and learn from them. It was inspiring to be in that space together and gave me a lot of great ideas on how to improve my own practices as a career advisor. One of the most impactful sessions was on how to give concrete and helpful feedback on resumes. I learned some great tips and tricks from a recruiters point of view and have been implementing them with success!" - Jasper H., Summer Search If you want to gain the same skills Jasper gained, sign up by this Friday.

"Think Like a Recruiter" is a training series led by our team member who's a former Big Tech recruiter. It's 4 hour-long sessions, once a month.
