Young Men of Talent — Ensuring college degrees and workplace readiness for Black and Brown males. After a successful launch in the 2023-24 school year, the Young Men of Talent (YMT) partnership among CFES Brilliant Pathways, the University of Vermont, and community/business leaders is ready to build on its success in the 2024-25 school year. How does it work? YMT assists Black and Latino male students by providing academic, social, and professional networks that provide formal and informal mentoring, advice, and encouragement. Business and education leaders hold regular virtual and in-person meetings with YMT Scholars and help them obtain paid summer internships in their fields of interest. Older students who have recently navigated similar challenges serve as relatable mentors to younger peers. YMT students receive priority registration for college classes and preferential choice in academic advisors. To help them establish connections and build community, students also attend monthly dinners hosted by academic and corporate leaders. While the data is encouraging, it can’t begin to capture the program’s true impact. YMT has not only provided resources and support, but has fostered genuine excitement among participating students. They experienced firsthand that many people in academic and business circles care deeply about their success. See the full report on CFES Brilliant Pathways and the YMT program at https://lnkd.in/e4sv6X5W. Global leader CFES Brilliant Pathways, based in Essex, N.Y., has been helping underserved K-12 students from rural and urban communities become college and career ready for over 33 years.

▶ Excited to share this video featuring the incredible Stacia Maynard , who brings insights from the NACE conference. Two powerful takeaways she mentions I encourage you to do your own research on: 1️⃣ Restorative Practices: which can significantly benefit you college career centers by fostering a supportive and inclusive environment that enhances student engagement and overall well-being. 2️⃣ "Yes, And" Concept: No matter what someone says to you, even if it's negative, you reply with "yes, and." This simple phrase can steer the conversation in a positive direction and allow you to add additional thoughts. 💡 Stacia highlights how reframing discussions around skills vs. degrees can benefit both students and employers. Instead of viewing these elements as opposing forces, adopting a "yes, and" approach can address the diverse needs of learners. Yes, traditional degrees provide structured learning and foundational knowledge And, practical skills gained through internships, projects, and real-world experiences are crucial in bridging the gap between theory and application.

Considering joining a Summer School at the end of year 12 or AS year, before proceeding to the final year 13 or college A2 and before joining the university gives you a number of benefits. You get to experience briefly living at the university hall of residence/accommodation, attend lectures at your desired degree course department, you get some more insights about the degree course that you aspires to pursue, e.t.c. Check whether the university offers Summer School online course or you have to attend the university physically. Although I have mainly covered on the United Kingdom Summer Schools, other European countries do offer Summer School in preparation into joining the university. Again, check any other universities across the world and see what they do offer in preparation to the same or equivalence to the Summer School.

Who is cutting onions?? Amazing features this week about Abigail Wing, Kelsey Henderson and Natalie France -- so proud of each of them for articulating their personal and professional growth during their time at Iowa State, AND the way they are impacting this university. We are better because of them! A quote from Natalie: “Never take ‘no’ as a stopping point. There are many points where you are going to hear that something isn’t possible, but it’s important to never let that scare you or halt your passion. Being confident in yourself and striving to reach your goals are your greatest tools for finding success." A quote from Abby: "You get to gain professional skills to help you in your career. You have such a vital role on campus, no matter what office you work in because you are important. Take every opportunity that you can within your student job, because those are skills that will be able to directly translate into your future.”  https://lnkd.in/g88ugQ7z https://lnkd.in/gJxw9fh4
