The job market has been wild the last couple of years, but with big changes in the labor market, big changes in how to access and break into different industries have flourish. if you are looking for a job, or looking to break into a different industry, consider being an apprentice. if you are employer who is hiring, consider an apprentiship program In-the- job-training is the future and can have significant impact on our economy and on the economy of minorities who have not had the same opportunities and access to education as other.

Here is an opportunity if you know someone 16-24 from a low income family OR who is independent from family with a low income, and needs vocational training: JOB CORP CENTERS. There are 4 in Texas, including one here in San Marcos, and I gather they are located around the country. For eligible young people the training, housing, and meals are all free, paid for by a federal government job training program. In San Marcos they offer more than a dozen programs in things like welding, machining, carpentry, electrical, HVAC, health care, security and corrections, and transportation related skills. Welding is the most popular here, medical fields are second, and transportation 3rd. Programs require a minimum of 6 months. It depends on the job track and whether the young person needs to finish their HS degree, which they can do while getting job training. At present the Gary Job Corps in San Marcos has 880 students, and they hope to grow to about 1450. It is located on an 800 acre site near the San Marcos Airport, and has dormitories, cafeterial, health services, library, athletic fields, etc. The student must start training while 24 years old or less. If they start at 24 they can continue training after turning 25. Low income is the main criteria, but they also must pass a background check. Not everyone needs to go to college and not everyone can afford to attend a community college or vocational school that charges tuition. Job Corps Centers seem like a great idea to lift up young people to get a skill set. I learned about the details of this program today from a presentation at the Rotary Club of San Marcos TX.

While 90% of jobs in Alabama require some form of post-secondary credential, only 46% of the population holds one. And of every 100 high school graduates, only 24 attain a bachelor's degree within six years. What about the rest? That's where Alabama steps in, shifting the focus from traditional degrees to apprenticeships, occupational licenses, certifications, and more. This isn't about downplaying degrees but about elevating every form of learning that equips our workforce for in-demand jobs. But it doesn't stop there. Alabama’s approach involves organized sectoral partnerships, encompassing business, industry, and education leaders. The Alabama Committee on Credentialing and Career Pathways, co-chaired by key educational figures, is a testament to this collaborative effort. This committee is creating a 'DNA' for in-demand jobs – a blend of required competencies, qualifications, and the essence of what each job entails. They’re crafting a workforce adaptable across various sectors, not just climbing a traditional ladder but navigating a dynamic career landscape. Alabama isn't just preparing for the future of work; it's actively constructing it. A future where skills, adaptability, and lifelong learning are the currency of the job market. #AlTalentTriad #AlabamaWorks #EBSCOed #Skills #FutureOfWork

Extended Learning Opportunities Coordinator, Portland High School, ME * Tenacious Community Connector * Real-World Learning Program Developer * Equity-Focused Systems Thinker * Person-Centered Innovative Solutions
I am excited to presenting at the virtual conference of the New England Consortium of the National Career Development Association State Career Development Associations on First Generation Employees: Best Practices for Workforce Development for Immigrant/Refugee High School Students. Here is the link to attend: https://lnkd.in/gMWmBURu Presentation details: We often talk about how to support first generation college students, but what about first generation employees? In this presentation you will learn best practices for workforce development with high school students, specifically students who are immigrants or refugees. Topics covered include how to break down career skills in a way that is culturally relevant and trauma informed. You will learn how to work with young people from start to end: from making sure they are eligible to work with the documents required, the application process including how to explain the fields on job applications, jobs that work well for students with limited English proficiency, how to coach students on following up on their application and interview preparation, filling out hiring paperwork, explaining pay stubs, and what is expected at a job. We will break down “professionalism” and what that means including expectations for types of communication, problem solving, community norms, decision making, and showing characteristics such as demonstrating initiative, flexibility and reliability. This workshop will help prepare you to work with anyone in their first job, but especially young people who are immigrants or refugees.

Proud to celebrate our recent visit from Ofsted which confirmed South Tyneside Works retained our 'Good' rating. Ofsted inspectors found learners "value and enjoy learning new life skills" throughout their training. They agreed that most learners - including those with additional needs - achieve well and a high number develop the knowledge, skills and behaviours that they need to secure employment or move onto further study. The Ofsted report says: "Learners benefit from effective careers information, advice and guidance which enables them to make informed choices about their next steps and future careers. They attend talks from employers about career options in different sectors, including the opportunity to progress to an apprenticeship or other employment with training. Teachers support learners effectively to improve their skills in applying for jobs, including producing a good-quality curriculum vitae. Learners aged 16 to 19 years attend helpful careers sessions with well qualified staff about their aspirations and the opportunities available in the area. They are very positive about the quality of guidance they receive. Learners also take part in relevant work experience or other work-related activity throughout their course."
