According to the National Institutes of Health, "School-based programs are positively associated with stable employment and full-time work while work-based programs most consistently increase the likelihood that youth with disabilities will be employed in jobs that provide fringe benefits. Analyses also indicate that – once individuals with disabilities are stably employed – they can be employed in “good” jobs that provide employee benefits." The Transition Academy put this research into action by partnering with Diversity Placement Services and Central High School to provide summer jobs for students at Central High School, Hogan Preparatory Academy and the Kauffman School. For 71% of the hard working youth, it was their first job. We look forward to building upon this pilot program and ensuring students get real world experience to prepare them for employment success. #specialeducation #disabilityemployment #realworldlearning #careerpathways

Grades 7-9, jump-start your future next week at our Central Ohio Heads Up workshop 2/5 & 2/8! The sooner teens can understand the connection between self assessment and career exploration, the easier it will be to make educational decisions (course selection, summer experiences, college major, etc.) based on a stronger foundation.

New Student Orientation sessions always fly by quickly, forcing our office (and the two others we planned with) to carefully consider what information we wanted to share, and more importantly, what we wanted students to walk away with.🤔 We decided to open things up by posing the following question - "Why did you decide to come to college?" Of course, answers have varied. But in many cases, the answers given by students highlighted the undeniable link that exists between Career Services and the student college journey.🔗 We'd love to hear from you! If you attended a college or university - why did you decide to? If you work in higher education - what does your summer orientation look like and how do you make the most of your time with students?💭

Sunday afternoon at the 2024 ICMA (International City/County Management Association) Annual Conference, I attended an education session entitled, "Building the Bench: Strategies for Recruiting and Retaining Emerging Leaders for Large and Small Communities". The staffing, management, and leadership issues we face in Whitfield County are the same plaguing local governments across the United States. First, our workforce is older than those working in other employment sectors. Second, our most tenured employees are retiring and taking talent and institutional knowledge with them as they exit. Third, government employment is not as attractive as it used to be due to stagnant wages, declining benefits, and increasing stress. All of this makes it difficult and vital to fill our ranks replacing those retiring or leaving for greener pastures in the private sector. One solution is that used by baseball teams - developing talent through a farm system. For government that means creating a strong internship program designed to bring young, talented, altruistic people into our organizations and hopefully convince them to remain public servants throughout their careers.

🌟 Transforming Lives and Careers at Job Corps! 🌟 In a powerful segment featured on WGN-TV, the Paul Simon Job Corps Center in Chicago is making waves by not only training students in essential building trades but also addressing a surprising need in the healthcare sector. As highlighted in the video, students at the center are gaining hands-on experience in fields like bricklaying, carpentry, and painting, while also preparing for rewarding careers as pharmacy technicians. This innovative approach is equipping young people aged 16 to 24 with the skills needed for trades, including high-demand healthcare roles. Job Corps student Josetta Blade exemplifies success, having completed an internship with CVS Health and landing a job that can pay up to $56,000 a year. She shared, "It's something I could see myself doing and enjoying." This collaboration with CVS Health not only opens doors for Job Corps students but also helps fill critical workforce gaps in our economy. As Viv Harper, Workforce Initiatives Manager for CVS, puts it, "Having skilled individuals prepare for the workforce is unmatched." With changing perceptions around traditional education pathways, Job Corps is paving the way for meaningful careers without the burden of student debt. 👉 Watch the full segment to see how Job Corps is changing lives and building futures! #JobCorps #CareerTraining #SuccessStories #PharmacyTechnician #HealthcareCareers #BuildingTrades #JobCorpsWorks #JobCorps60 #NJCA #JobCorpsSuccessStory #LevelUp #CVS Senator Tammy Duckworth Richard Durbin
