Why aren't young people queuing up to work with us and use our services? When you consider the extra ordinary value of careers professionals, it seems BONKERS that we have to actually encourage young people to attend. If you were able to engage those disengaged young people in your work, what kind of better outcomes could you provide? #AuthenticEngagement EmployabilityUK

I often hear disparaging remarks from some people in their 50s and 60s about the younger generation, with common stereotypes labeling them as lazy, uninformed, or indifferent. However, my experience with the young professionals I train daily couldn't be more different. When treated with respect and spoken to as equals, they consistently prove themselves to be insightful, engaged, eager to learn, and excited to contribute, especially when they feel their opinions are valued and can make an impact. I see a parallel in politics, where young people are often perceived as disinterested. In reality, this disinterest often stems from a lack of engagement from political parties in ways that are relevant or relatable to them. Similarly, within the workplace, some of my more experienced colleagues (a polite way to put it, I thought) express negative views about the hundreds of trainees we work with each year. What seems more likely is that these criticisms say more about the critics themselves than the younger generation. Often, the problem lies not with the trainees, but with those who may be struggling to adapt to changing dynamics.

Dr. Hayley Haywood from Elevating Access joins us once again for this year's upcoming Career Equity Conference! Dr. Haywood will facilitate a session titled Building Equitable Pathways to Soulfilling Work: The Anti-Racist Career Center. With attacks on DEI, navigating poly global crises, resource constraints, and constant hits on our global humanity, it is critical that we redesign career centers to meet the needs of today’s diverse students. Data is already demonstrating how the destruction of affirmative action has hurt enrollment rates of students of color. DEI can no longer be treated as an add-on, it must be centered in our work. Career centers can either play a role in disrupting or doubling-down on white supremacy. Without a proactively antiracist lens, it’s the latter. In this session, I will share key data, identify common practices that may be harming your students of color, & introduce critical frameworks to help you design for racial equity. The session will be most useful to administrators, career services staff, faculty, and nonprofit leaders who could benefit from sharpening their equity lens, & advancing their ability to apply equity in action. Dr. Hayley Haywood (she/her) is an award-winning DEI leader, identity-conscious coach, and consultant. After 15 years leading across diverse areas of higher education, she founded Elevating Access, a capacity-building consultancy that partners with educators and employers build equitable pathways to soul-filling work. Dr. Haywood has consulted with diverse organizations from NASA to Northeastern University. She provided equity-centered coaching and professional development to over 900 executives, educators, and students drawing from her interdisciplinary background leadership development, organizational design, and equity work. Through intentional strategy, Dr. Haywood’s programs have increased retention of students, employees, and faculty of color, nurtured sense of belonging, and enhanced team capacity to contribute to an equity-centered community. Her work has been featured in Inside Higher Ed, the local news, HigherEdJobs, and MaxBlack Media. This year, she was honored as one of Worcester Business Journal’s 40 Under 40. Dr. Haywood’s experience is informed by content expertise obtained through learning from her community and formal education including a psychology degree from Clark University, a Master's in Counseling and Personnel Services from the University of Maryland College Park, and a Doctorate in Organizational Change and Leadership through the University of Southern California where she studied the college-to-career transitions of first-generation college graduates of color. She also spends way too much time on LinkedIn and would be happy to connect there! #sucareerequity
