Today is #SocialMobilityDay. To be honest, I've not done loads, and that's okay! You don't have to make grand gestures to make a difference, sometimes that difference can be a difference of one. I've checked in on a couple of #NextGenLeaders teams and talked about plans for next year. Our projects focus on areas of low social mobility and use the #SDGs, project-based learning, and business engagement to help communities - whatever our #Changemakers say their community is and this feeds in perfectly to social mobility 😍 I then popped over to Outwood Academy Freeston, Normanton for the afternoon to help with their year 10 careers interviews. I was blown away by how well prepared the students were, they all shook my hand and presented me with their CV before even sitting down - they were fabulous 🤩 #Careers #SDGs #SocialMobility #SocialEquity #SocialMobilityDay #BeTheChange #Education #Access #Diversity #Success #CareerSuccess #LifeSkills #GoodForAll

Young people: “What job or career opportunities are even available in McLean County?” Employers: “How can we ensure young people are better equipped with the ‘soft’ or essential skills before they come to the workplace?” Educators: “How can we gain access to the workplace so we can help prepare students still in high school for jobs and careers?” United Way of McLean County sees these challenges as an opportunity to develop a coordinated solution that answers the questions of all three groups. Introducing “Summer HEAT”. Read more about it here: https://lnkd.in/gRX9B7Ae

College graduation season is around the corner, and Robert Half's Amber Watts shares great news on entry-level hiring and tips for employers: “There’s many advantages to hiring these entry level workers, some of the top being hiring skills. We’re in a talent shortage, a lot of these recent grads come tech savvy and ahead on technology. So they can really help companies innovate and grow. Next is culture. Think about your firsts job, you’re so excited, your energy is high, you bring a unique perspective to companies. And lastly, opportunity for long-term growth. If you bring in somebody and really teach them, train them, and develop them and continue to elevate their skills, you have the opportunity to really grow them within you organizations.” Great story by FOX26 Houston. #collegegraduates #entrylevelhiring #RobertHalf

Bottom Line Alumni - worth a look! Bottom Line

“…diversity of thought and background is ‘not going to happen’ so long as a college degree requirement is included on the list of must-haves.” Tremendous respect and gratitude out to Carrie Varoquiers, LaFawn Davis, and Lisa Cohen Gevelber, and Kristin Stoller for their advocacy for #SkillsFirstHiring and #STARs — the largest talent pool currently being overlooked in our US labor market. STARs are half our workforce — 70M+ people that are Skilled Through Alternative Routes rather than a bachelor’s degree (think military service, certifications, some college, associate degrees, self-learning, on-the-job training, apprenticeships, etc). 👆 That’s why we at Opportunity@Work are pushing everyone to #TearThePaperCeiling!
