I am starting my #disneycollegeprogram strong! After more than ten hours of learning, I’ve met many wonderful people and had the opportunity to listen to some fascinating career stories and attend workshops and classes. Here’s to many more milestones (maybe even a few mouseters on the horizon)! #dcp #disneyprogramslife #disneyprogramslearning #mouseters #disneyexperiences #twdc #disneycastlife #disney

Students enrolled in Pearl Careers' CLS Classes are guided to show respect and admiration towards others, not solely in response to how they are treated, but as a reflection of our culture of honor. Our guiding principle is simple: "Respect isn't contingent on reciprocity; we express respect because our culture is rooted in honor." #careerclarityandlifeskillseducation #careerclarity #lifeskillsforkids #qualityeducation #socialacumen #socialimpact #socialemotionallearning #sdgs2030 #sdg4 #sdgs #shapethefuture #shapingthefuture #holisticeducation #holisticlearning #pearlcareers

Did you know that in 2023, our Excellence Training Center received a grant to help students with disabilities participate in credentials and apprenticeships? Check out the full story below!

Celebrating National Disability Employment Awareness Month!   During this special month, we honor and recognize the incredible contributions of Apprentices with disabilities to the workforce through Registered Apprenticeship programs. Registered Apprenticeship programs prioritize the promotion of inclusivity, diversity, and equal opportunities for everyone.  Individuals with disabilities participate and succeed in apprenticeship programs at higher rates when they are provided with opportunities and support, and according to a report conducted by American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD), the employers who champion disability inclusion earn 28% higher revenue over time.

The brilliant folks at #TKS did something so simple and so seldom done. They asked their students what does a successful life look like to you ? They posted anonymously some of the answers. Spend some time asking your students how they feel and think about things. Ask them in a way that they can truly explore the questions. TKS is in the business of unlocking Stranded Brilliance because many of the challenges of today will be solved by the adults of tomorrow. They are preparing many of those adults now. Unlocking Stranded Brilliance is the mission. #thefutureofeducation #thefutureoflearning #strandedbrilliance #tks #futureoflearning

Apprenticeships have a stigma around them and here are a few things employers say when I mention apprenticeships: 1) I’m not young so can’t do this 2) I don’t need any apprentices 3) I don’t want to be on £3 per hour The fact is apprenticeships are for everyone and are greatly used to up-skill your current workforce and yourself no matter what age. Here are some benefits that some people may not know. ✨ **Hands-On Learning:** Our apprenticeships blend practical, on-the-job training with targeted classroom instruction.

The Conservative party launched their manifesto on Tuesday, and at Catch22 we welcome the commitment to combat online harms and keep children safe online, and the renewed attention on fixing the criminal justice system.   We welcome the focus throughout the manifesto on helping more people to work, but beyond the extra apprenticeships announced, we are lacking in meaningful announcements that would bridge the skills gap on many job seekers’ applications and offer for the wrap-around support many need when coming out of long-term unemployment.   We welcome the reform for community sentences but would have liked to see a different attitude to tackling youth violence in a way that helps young people become productive members of their community in the long run.   Finally, there is no concrete policy offering to care for experienced people, who we know are some of the most overlooked and would benefit the most from a uniform offering across local authorities.   For more information on how our manifesto aligns to the Conservatives' announcements, please see: https://lnkd.in/dUcPHNTs
