Cox Purtell Staffing Services’ Post

My position is, and always will be, that everyone deserves the opportunity for employment and the chance to receive the supports they need to realise that potential. This weeks RFT of the new voluntary employment service for parents excites me. The consultation process, combined with recommendations from the Workforce Australia Inquiry leads to a program that is significant defined in structure with the opportunity for creative and innovative servicing solutions. I’m most excited that the requirements of: 🔘lived experience practitioners 🔘a qualified or highly demonstrated experienced workforce 🔘cultural sensitive service 🔘client - centred service are all fundamental non negotiables in the future delivery. It reads to be a program for voluntary parents, co-designed with voluntary parents and delivered but those that have walked through the journey of parenthood and employment. If delivered right, the pipeline effect on employment participation for parents has a promising future. The road is never linear but this program has the chance to reset many directions for many individuals. #Parents #Employment #VoluntaryService #LifeSkills #WorkSkills #Careers #Preparation #Outcomes #EmploymentForAll

Birmingham City Council proposed that Community Library hubs open part-time hours providing library and early intervention and prevention services. There could be several reasons why the proposal might not work: 1. Limited Access: Part-time hours may not accommodate the needs of the community, especially for those who work during the day or have other commitments. 2. Resource Constraints: Operating part-time may limit the resources available for services, leading to reduced effectiveness in providing early intervention and prevention programs. 3. Staffing Challenges: Part-time hours may make it difficult to attract and retain qualified staff, impacting the quality of services provided. 4. Community Engagement: A part-time schedule might hinder community engagement and participation in library and early intervention programs. 5. Effectiveness of Services: Some programs may require consistent and regular engagement to be effective, which may not be achievable with part-time hours. Overall, the success of such a proposal would depend on addressing these challenges and ensuring that the benefits outweigh the limitations. #library #librarylife #readingcommunity #booklovers #libraryservices #community #Birmingham #BirminghamCommunity #socialservices #communitysupport #socialimpact #earlyintervention #prevention #education #learning #lifelonglearning Janice Wright Kip A.

Here’s how to make open enrollment decisions as a couple

Here is $65 million to help #CommunityColleges connect workers to #GoodJobs: Yesterday, DOL's Employment and Training Administration announced this year's Strengthening Community Colleges competition, which heavily focuses on creating Good Jobs using definitions in the Good Jobs Principles. This year's grants--ranging from $1.5 million to $5.75 million--require applicants demonstrate how their projects will build structures that connect workers to jobs that pay well and provide opportunities for advancement. Applicants also must address how they will improve outcomes for underserved populations. Additionally, successful projects will propose sustainable system changes at community colleges as well as sector strategies that include collaborations with employers, the federal workforce system, and secondary schools, among others. September 24 is the deadline to apply. For more information (and to apply), read the funding opportunity announcement here: https://lnkd.in/ei6km863
