🚨 Attention Business owners looking for skilled labourers 🚨 The shortage of skilled labourers in the trades industries is a growing concern. 🛠️ As more young people choose to pursue college degrees, there has been a decline in the number of individuals entering the trades - This has led to a significant gap between the demand for skilled workers and the available supply. 📉 As a result, industries such as construction, plumbing, electrical work, carpentry & many of the trades are struggling to find enough skilled laborers to meet their needs. This shortage can lead to delays in projects, increased costs, and a strain on the overall economy. 🚧 This event is a great opportunity for business owners to find good employees to bridge that gap!

College Achieve Central High School is doing amazing things. It is a joy to teach there. If you want to teach at a school where the students love to learn and the faculty is on a mission, you should apply. Our misson? Every student that graduates from College Achieve Public Schools (CAPS) will be prepared to excel in and graduate from the top colleges and universities in the nation. How are we doing? Consider this, every student in the class of 2022 took three Advanced Placement (AP) courses and 24% passed one or more. It is mandatory to take three APs in order to graduate. That same year, the percentage of students that passed one more APs in New Jersey was 19.9%. NJ claims to have the #1 public school system in the nation. Last May, College Achieve Central's Class of 2023 took an average of more than 5 AP classes (2 more than required), and 48% of seniors passed one or more AP Classes. They doubled the previous year and more than doubled the passage rates of the state of New Jersey (48% to 19.9%). This year, the class of 2024 is taking an average of 6 AP courses - double the the graduation requirement. They are determined to be college graduates. Here is the breakdown ... - nearly 100% of our students are taking 4 AP classes or more - 78% are taking 5 or more courses - 56% are taking 6 or more courses As juniors, 53% of the Class of 2024 have already passed one or more AP exams. We are predicting more than 70% of our seniors will pass one or more AP exams this spring. Our graduates have been accepted to Harvard, Princeton, NYU, Rutgers, NJIT, Smith, and Howard. If you are new to teaching don't worry, we have a world class teacher training program, and our principal, Mrs. Brown, and her team are amazing at supporting and coaching up teachers. We are not a magnet school. Over 90% of our students are from Plainfield, NJ, and we are getting magnet like results. If you want to be part of something important and special, we welcome you to our ranks.

You may wonder, what is a reverse job fair? A reverse job fair is when a job seeker sits at a table with their resume, interests, skills and certifications are all laid out on a table, and employers come up to them to see if they are interested in working with them. For both participants as well as employers they can register at these links: This is the link for employers to register: https://lnkd.in/g5_gURH3 This is the link for job seeker registration: https://lnkd.in/gHsHzBdP Please note: It is truly preferred that they sign up ahead of time, to properly get them set up there is an amount of prep work to be done so just showing up isn’t ideal, especially as space can be limited. It is a fantastic event. As well, please note that this is an event for participants who self-identify as having a disability.
