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

As the career fair season comes to an end, we'd like to leave you with one final question: "Why should you consider starting your career at Excel?" We chatted with Kyle, a recent graduate from UW-Platteville and a Civil Designer at Excel, to understand why he chose Excel as the ideal place to kickstart his career. Here are some of Kyle's key insights: • From the beginning of the interview process, everyone was kind and easy to get along with. This has continued into Kyle's everyday work life. • Excel is an employee-owned company, which makes him feel like the work he does is truly appreciated and positively impacts the company. • Excel invests in the development of its employees. Kyle is continuously encouraged to ask questions and pursue professional licensure. • The company's recent expansion has injected a youthful energy, allowing new hires to connect with like-minded peers, creating a supportive and relatable work environment. • Located centrally between major cities, Excel provides the convenience of urban access without the associated high cost of living. • The Excel office is new, beautiful, and equipped with a golf simulator. #excel #careers

Remember that TINY cone of the GIANT Redwood Tree? While what's inside, at first glance, looks insignificant, this amazing tree grows from it - for hundreds and hundreds of years - and it creates more life (abundance), too! We have some new people on this page: Mickey Mikeworth, Sarah Steffen, Rafael Rosa, Rosemary Senjem, Suzy (Susan) Ross, Phil Courey, Kathryn Sharpe, Josie Pitts, Libby Rau, Mollie Thompson, Christopher "Bud" Ahrens- welcome to Spark Potential! I am so curious: 🌲 What is an example of a tiny beginning in your life, and what are its ripples today? A TINY beginning for me was attending a summer camp job fair in college. I had no idea how that day would shift my life. It put me on a path to youth development and education - a life that's been so meaningful for me because as I experienced camp, I discovered a core belief - that everyone has a birthright to believe in themselves and experience the beauty of WHO they are! Helping people find their sense of self became my life's passion. The TINY beginning of my self-discovery continues to live and breathe in me today. It's the reason my energy is shifting to coaching rising youth development leaders. I'm not sure it would have happened if I ignored my RA saying - "you should go check out the summer camp job fair." What is one of your TINY beginnings? How is it impacting you today?

Restraint. This is the first thing I saw when I got to the grocery store after church. …on my way to buy healthy food items. In effort to be more healthy, I’m restraining from 1. Sweets 2. Soda 3. Processed food I’m moving towards 1. Fruits and vegetables as snacks 2. More water 3. Baked meals IT’S NOT EASY!!! What does this have to do with transition? A LOT! Sometimes you need to restrain from what you want to do, to make transition easier. 1. Restrain from staying at home, and go to those networking events and job fairs! 2. Restrain from sitting in the couch watching your favorite show, and study for that cert! 3. Restrain from staying in your bubble, and send that Linkedin connection. “I’m not telling you it is going to be easy - I'm telling you it's going to be worth it.” - Arthur L. Williams, Jr. You better call Tyrone

What does Grassroots Grocery do during the week when we're not hosting our Saturday Produce Party? One major focus is our commitment to nurturing the future through regular produce deliveries to middle and high schools in Upper Manhattan and the Bronx. A prime example of this commitment is our partnership with New Directions Secondary School, initiated by a committed school social worker, Jolyon Davis, LMSW,SIFI, who sought out resources for his students. Today marked a particularly special moment, bringing me back to my educational roots in the Bronx. This time, invited by Jolyon not for a produce delivery but to share insights from my career journey alongside a diverse group of professionals at the NDSS career fair. Speaking at this event was an opportunity to demonstrate the synergy between our weekday school deliveries and our vision for a healthier, empowered future for young minds. I hope that today I helped some students envision a future as rich and diverse as the produce we deliver. A heartfelt thank you to Jolyon for integrating Grassroots Grocery into the fabric of NDSS, and a shout-out to all the other professionals today for enriching the career fair with their insights and experiences. As Grassroots Grocery continues to bridge the gap between food access and education, every delivery, conversation, and partnership, especially ones like with NDSS, underscores our belief in the transformative power of community engagement. Together, we're not just feeding families; we're planting seeds of potential in the next generation. Let's keep building those bridges, one produce delivery and career fair at a time. #CommunityImpact #EmpoweringYouth #FutureLeaders #FoodJustice #BuildingBridges
