Can you help? Or share with your networks? As many of you know, I'm really passionate about getting as many businesses as possible to get more actively involved with local schools and careers education for young people in Stockport, and I always get asked, "How?" or hear people say, "We didn't know what opportunities were available!" Well... here's a big list for you of the requests I've received for the coming month. Please take a look and help if you can! If you can only spare an hour or so, that's fine. If you can't have a careers stand but could help out doing practice interviews with students, that's great. There's opportunities for any business, big or small, no matter your expertise or time availability. It's ALL our responsibility to create opportunities for our young people to get work experience, careers advice/guidance and develop those work-ready skills all employers are looking for.

The best time to find a job after college is when you start college. At CPP, we’re here to make that process a bit easier. Cherrie Peters, lead career coach at the Career Center on campus, has helped all kinds of students at various stages in their college careers. She advises students to be proactive and to utilize all the resources CPP has to offer: scholarships, micro-internships, alumni mentors, and the Career Center. The most important piece of advice she offers is to start early. “Career planning really is a process — a process of elimination, getting to know what they value and what is important to them. It’s about making themselves career ready. Students know themselves best, so they have to create career readiness for themselves first.” - Cherrie Peters Read more about CPP’s Career Center: https://bit.ly/47GSy2N Register for the Spring Career Fair happening on March 1: https://bit.ly/3OK8kTX

📓 Career-connected learning is mutually beneficial to learners, workers and employers, writes the Charles Koch Foundation. But what does career-connected learning really mean? It’s more than a single annual career fair or just asking students what they want to be when they grow up. 🎒 Catalyze, one of the nation’s largest communities of practice focused on career-connected learning, defines it as “a catalyst that can prepare learners to thrive in the modern world of work — first, by bridging the gap between student interest and industry need, and second, by introducing young people to fulfilling pathways that connect passion to career success.” Read the full piece at the link in the comments. ⤵️ #careerconnectedlearning #k12education #careereducation #professionaldevelopment

Like my dad would start off when he was going to say something potentially offensive..."how do I saaay..." If you or your company are not recruiting at the #NSBE Convention...then, respectfully, what are you doing?!? 18,000+ attendees were at #NSBE50...representing ALL of the Engineering disciplines and science and technology fields ranging from machine learning and medical to cyber, materials, and information systems. MANY of the attendees had law degrees or MBAs reflecting the vast diversity in thought and educational background. MANY of the attendees were Researchers...some had Military experience...some already had secret clearances...and some were looking for their very first opportunity! There were over 1,000 Pre-College Initive (PCI)/NSBE, Jr. attendees and more than a handful who are already doing research or have started their own business. There was a separate Graduate School Conference and multiple Special Interest Groups (SIGs) ranging from Transportation to Aerospace and more. But MOST OF ALL you had a CommUNITY of LEADERS who fought and scrapped to get themselves and their chapters to the convention. In my informal statistical study over nearly 30 years of NSBE membership I can state with a fairly wide confidence interval that no other student or professional organization has as much of a role in the day-to-day activities of the chapters as NSBE student leaders! Sure, they have an advisor, but the onus is ON the student leaders to run, manage, and plan in both the long and short-term. Then...these STUDENT leaders become STUDENT Regional Leaders...then STUDENT National Leaders...or Conference or Convention Planning Chairs. What senior or graduate student do you know chaired a 30,000+ member organization or managed a $60,000+ budget planning a regional conference before they finally returned the keys to their dorm room? And just for the supplemental cherry on top, NSBE Professionals and the phenomenal World Headquarters (WHQ) Staff ensure consistency and provide counsel while adroitly add the extra 'umph' when required. You might not need an engineer, but you should want a NSBE engineer in your organization. They make excellent staff, project managers, researchers, and problem solvers. NSBE is huge on organization, legacy, and culture. Maybe you don't have it in your budget for the biggest booth, but at least give your best effort for a few years and send your best people to reflect your corporation. So, if you're not recruiting at NSBE Conventions, I would suggest you ask your #HR or #recruiting staff..."why"? #STEM #NSBEGOLD #career #engineer #CareerFair #recruiter #hiring #interview #JobSeeker #SummerIntern #CooperativeEducation #science #technology #ComputerScience #AI #SWE #Cyber #EngineeringEducation #GradSchool #MedicalSchool #MBA #LawSchool #PatentLaw #DoD #Military #CivilianCareers #FederalEmployment #Talent National Society of Black Engineers NSBE Professionals | National Society of Black Engineers
