The jobless rate in the CareerSource Citrus Levy Marion region was 4.5% in June, up 0.7 percentage point over the month [...]. Rusty Skinner, CareerSource CLM’s chief executive officer, noted that the bump in the jobless rate and number counted as unemployed is in line with what the region typically experiences moving into the summer months with seasonal shifts in education support and agriculture employment, as well as an influx of post-secondary students returning to the area looking for summer jobs before going back to school. “What we’re experiencing at this time of year is a typical summer slump; it is not unique to our region nor to any other area in Florida for that matter,” he said. “That doesn’t mean we take our foot off the gas; we know businesses are eager to hire which is why we strive to connect them with those looking for work.” Skinner pointed to two such opportunities: the Summer Job Fair that takes place Tuesday, July 23 from 5-7 p.m. at Howard Academy Community Center in Ocala, and the Citrus County Regional Job Fair set to take place at the College of Central Florida’s Citrus County Campus on Aug. 27. Both are free and open anyone in Citrus, Levy or Marion counties. Read the full news release: https://lnkd.in/dTbbupRn #JoblessRate #OcalaEmployment #CareerSource

I went to a high school career fair on Thursday. I kept my advice simple. Here are 3 things to try to get across to your kids: 1. Avoid carrying a balance on your credit card. The average interest rate on credit cards is over 20% annually. Anyone who has been deep in credit card debt knows how hard it is to get out. 2. Student loans are not free money. You will have to pay the money back when you graduate. Oh yeah, they will charge you interest on them as well. I find this is a giant wake-up call for recent graduates when they start making "big kid" money but then 😲 a large chunk of their paycheck goes toward their loans. 3. Start investing as early as you can. Time is a huge component of the power of compound interest. Anything an 18-year-old invests has an 88x multiplier by the time they are 65 (assuming a 10% rate of return). I was impressed that a few kids had even started contributing to their Roth IRAs (based on parental advice of course). That is it. Everyone wants to know the more advanced topics but if your kids can just do these three things they will be way ahead of their peers.

In a vibrant display of collaboration and determination, a day to cherish unfolded on our campus as companies from near and far joined us for a job fair. Aspiring job seekers, fueled by hope and ambition, perused the myriad opportunities laid out before them, each one a stepping stone towards a brighter future. What made this event truly special was the meticulous organization led by the students themselves. With surgical precision and unwavering dedication, they orchestrated every detail, ensuring a seamless experience for all participants. Their passion and hard work shone through, setting a shining example for all who witnessed their efforts. The atmosphere was electric, with happy faces and a palpable sense of excitement filling the air. The campus buzzed with energy and possibility, as dreams took flight and aspirations soared. It was a joy to behold, a celebration of potential and promise. As we eagerly await the final tally of job offers extended, our hearts swell with optimism. We dare to dream big, hoping to see the number of opportunities cross the coveted threshold of three digits. Each offer represents a life changed, a path altered, a future transformed. In this moment of empowerment, we stand together, a community bound by shared goals and shared dreams. The success of this job fair is a testament to what can be achieved when we come together with purpose and passion. As we look towards the horizon, we see a bright tomorrow, filled with endless possibilities and boundless opportunities. Here's to the dreamers, the doers, and the believers. Here's to a future brimming with hope and potential. Here's to the job fair that changed lives and ignited passions. This is just the beginning - the best is yet to come. #JobFair #EmpoweringTomorrow #CareerOpportunities #StudentLeadership #DreamBig #BrightFuture #AspiringProfessionals #JobSeekers #CareerDevelopment #InspiringYouth

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!)

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.
