KIPP St. Louis’ Post

I've been getting a lot of questions about the event we're putting on, so I wanted to answer some of the most common ones: ✨ Is this a job fair? Technically, no. This event is a conversational roundtable featuring young people and professionals alongside employers and leaders. It's a chance to share perspectives about each other and discuss how we can overcome generational obstacles as a community. ✨ This event is FREE! Originally, we considered a fee to cover costs, but I wanted to be fair and absorb the cost as an investment. ✨ This is NOT confrontational. This isn't about hearsay. We'll be using statistics and key indicators observed within our community to facilitate discussion. ✨ Who's participating? We'll have students from high schools and colleges across the Springfield-Branson metro area. This includes international students, Springfield-Branson natives, and those planning to leave or enter the workforce. ✨ The goal? To share perspectives and find common ground.

"how we resource "career services" has to shift from transactional to transformative. We need both the practical things - resumes, job fairs, interview prep - and the purposeful things - coaching to explore values, goals, and careful planning. Our students are hungry and ready for it." YES! YES! YES!

In the hierarchy of promotional giveaways, custom Koozie® can coolers rank high because they tick all the effectiveness boxes—they’re desirable, useful, and easy to hand out to big crowds. Not only are custom can koozies popular for giving out at trade shows, job fairs and special events, they’re also great for rewarding high-performance employees and thanking your customers. Here’s why…

Latin School of Chicago hosted a Diversity Job Fair in their building and invited 20 NAIS independent schools to recruit prospective employees. Buckets Over Bullying thinks it’s imperative to remind prospective NAIS employees that if they are choosing a career in the private school industry it is critical to be a person of the highest moral standards, integrity and have the genuine intent to protect all students. If student safety and well being is not your number one priority, then you should not be looking for a job in the NAIS private school industry. Sadly, the @naisnetwork does not tout integrity, honesty and a moral compass. Why? Because they definitely do not uphold these characteristics. In my opinion , the NAIS has a very deliberate and devious agenda that causes harm to many students and families and the @naisnetwork does not care. And, let me be clear, The Latin School of Chicago does not care about student safety. They don’t follow their own school policies. Their handbook claims it has “a zero tolerance policy for all forms of bullying” if that is the case, then why is my son Nate Bronstein dead? It is all about their image, and the money. Follow the money. Debra Wilson Megan Mann Glasgow Group, Rodney Glasgow

Two things I wish all college leaders knew about the career expectations of the Class of 2024. 1. This class does not want to compromise on well-being and career. They already had to make huge trade-offs in young adulthood as a result of the pandemic. They are more anxious and worried about securing a strong future than generations before them. Supporting them in the college-to-career transition means doubling down on conversations that engage them deeply and meaningfully about this. 2. In order to meet the moment for this class and the ones to come, how we resource "career services" has to shift from transactional to transformative. We need both the practical things - resumes, job fairs, interview prep - and the purposeful things - coaching to explore values, goals, and careful planning. Our students are hungry and ready for it. https://lnkd.in/gh5b4mQK What would you add?

You're not going to want to miss our September Career Fair at Vancouver Island University! Employers and recruiters - we have just opened up employer table registration for our next large-scale Vancouver Island University Career Fair, taking place on September 13, 2024! This event takes place at the start of the new school year, when many students will be looking for employment, career, internship, and volunteer opportunities. This will be a great opportunity to promote any employment or internship opportunities with your organization to new students or soon to be graduating students looking for their career post academia. Our previous career fair in September 2023 was a great success, drawing in over 650 VIU students and alumni from various programs during a 4-hour period. This event provided an excellent platform for over 60 different employers to connect with a diverse and talented pool of candidates. The fair not only offered meaningful networking opportunities but also received an employer satisfaction rating of 87%. In a post-event survey, 31 respondents (half of the employers that were in attendance) anticipated to hire 40-68+ students as a result of this event. To ensure that our department is able to continue organizing events of this magnitude, and to be able to continue providing the best level of career services that we can to VIU students and our employer partners, we will be charging $100+fees/table for this upcoming career fair. In addition to being open to VIU students and alumni from all programs, members of the general public will have access to attend, to ensure that our employer partners have the opportunity to connect with as many potential candidates as possible, and that your organizations are more than satisfied with the success of this event. We only have 75 employer tables available for this 3-hour event, and I am anticipating these spots to fill-up quickly (we have already thirteen tables sell since email invites were sent), so please let me know if your organization is interested in participating and I will send you an Eventbrite link! (I am also organizing several other events in the next two months which will allow employers seeking to connect with specific student groups about internship and volunteer opportunities to do so - please let me know if you would be interested in any such event as well!)
