ESPN’s Post

Day 1 of #WE24 has been so rewarding. If you notice the banners in the photo, on the left it says “career fair enter this way” and on the right is the tagline for this year’s conference, “together we rise.” One of the things that the Society of Women Engineers does very well is build a conference that tailors to #womeninstem at all points in their career. Whether you’re a student or a retired professional, there is something for you here. Two talks particularly stood out today: “Career Readiness in Aerospace”: While I touch many different platforms, what drew me to this talk was that it was made up of women from different defense companies. Jen Thomas’s transparency on her journey was everything I needed to hear for this particular moment in my career. “Empowering Latina Engineers: Strategies for Advancing to Executive Positons”: Something I’ve said time and time again is we sometimes don’t comprehend how inspiring representation is. To see an entire panel of women in defense that were made up of Directors, Sr. Directors and Fellows was everything-AND Latinas. And, in the midst of being poured into, I was able to talk to students about why I love to work at General Dynamics Mission Systems! The list is long. So, if you want to do work that is bigger than yourself, come visit us at the Career Fair! I mean it when I say we do everything-deep sea to deep space, any engineering discipline, multiple career development programs. You name it, we have a spot for you! #latinasinstem #swe #professional #leadership #womenintech #womenindefense

Sharing this article I found with my broader network, since it could be helpful to more than just those who participate in the TeachedUp Career Expo. A little history on the Expo? I created it because I saw there was a great need among #educators to spread their wings #outoftheclass. They are all seeking to be a #transitionedteacher -- and are planning their #Edxit. I really would start a career expo in reverse, if there was a demand. Unfortunately, there are a number of barriers to hosting a successful expo aimed at drawing in educators -- not the least of which is the fact that the LinkedIn recruitment activity is far outpaced by the actual need recruiters are facing (meaning...if you didn't follow that...recruiters are underutilizing the potential to draw in local or even willing-to-move employees (if the States are willing to work with emergency certs while reciprocity is worked out)). So for now, I'll just do my part to bring support, happiness, and success to those who are moving out.

Society of Women Engineers ( SWE ) is empowering organizations to unlock the full potential of their women employees by providing them with exposure and learning opportunities. Recently, Collins Aerospace had the chance to showcase their story at a career fair. It was heartening to see our employees speak passionately about their experiences and take pride in their achievements in the aviation industry. Our peers from other companies who visited our booth were equally impressed by our capabilities and the amazing products that are transforming lives. Thanks to our wonderful colleagues for making this event a memorable one. Check out this quick snippet from the event! #SWE #womenintech #aviationindustry #careerfair #Linkedinconnections #linkedincommunity #linkedingroups #linkedIn #HRinnovation

Skills for Rhode Island's Future is committed to supporting jobseekers from all walks of life in their search for meaningful employment. We do our best work when we partner with others, whether we collaborate with other community organizations or across teams within our own!   Last Thursday, May 2nd, our Client Services, Talent Acquisition, Career Services, RI Small Business HUB, and workABILITY teams participated in a multi-employer Veteran's Job Fair at Community College of Rhode Island's Knight Campus in Warwick, hosted by The Providence VA VBA Regional Office, Veteran Readiness & Employment (VRE) Division, CCRI Student Veterans, and the Rhode Island Department of Labor & Training. The event connected veterans and others with career opportunities and resources, and our SkillsRI teams personally met with over 30 jobseekers and almost every employer in attendance!   Events like these are essential for informing and supporting those who may have barriers to employment, like Rhode Island's veteran population, and you never know where or when any given team member may lend specialized support or connect for an opportunity for work outside of their typical purview. Bill Harold, Supported Employment Coordinator for workABILITY, spotted and caught up with DATTCO, INC, a transportation company that attended the event looking to recruit new hires.  DATTCO recently partnered with and successfully hired a workABILITY candidate for a role as a School Bus Monitor/Aide, so Bill took the opportunity to explore ways to collaborate further by introducing DATTCO's hiring team to members of SkillsRI's Client Services team for additional sourcing and roles.   #SkillsRI and #workABILITY thank all of our community partners, employer partners, and the sponsors of this event for their support in providing resources to the veteran community and so many others! It often takes only one person or one effort to make a difference in the lives of others, so together, we should expect the impact of our work will be far greater! If you're an employer seeking talent, contact the workABILITY team to join our mission of providing equal opportunities for all!
