CareerSource Broward is planning a county-wide career exploration event, WOW or Work of Work, scheduled for March 14, 2024, at the Amerant Bank Arena. WOW focuses on our 14 and 15 year old high school students for several reasons:   CSBD wanted to provide youth, especially our youth in the distressed communities, with information about career choices while they still have time to select foundational classes needed to be competitive when applying for post-secondary education and training or for work if that is their choice upon graduation from high school.   CSBD wanted to introduce CareerSource Broward and all of its services to youth at an early age and in a positive context.   CSBD wants the youth to bring the message home to their parents who may need their services.   CSBD was also aware that while there are career awareness programs for younger and older youth there was no formal county wide initiative for this age group.   Please share with those you think may be interested in serving as a co-host or sponsor and we would welcome that partnership.

Excited to share the impact of supporting our justice-impacted community in the workforce! 🌟 In my career what is often discussed is the "hidden job market," but what I am privileged to do is empower and support a "hidden job pool:" Talent that our justice impacted community brings to enrich our workforce. Along side my coworker, Deona Dorsey, I get to bring job readiness training into reentry facilitiesto help this hidden talent pool identify and articulate their skills to find a career that brings them as much joy as I mine does. Check out this article I wrote about the value of Second Chance Month and the fulfilling work we do to cultivate a successful reentry into the workforce.
