Speaking from my own experience, Career Transition Partnership offer a fantastic service, so I am looking forward to the CTP Bristol Employment Fair. My 2 cents? Nobody should be leaving their respective service struggling to find employment, you don't deserve that after the sacrifices you have made. But you still must earn it. By attending events like these you are pushing from the outside, but you also need someone to pull you in from the inside. In a world with ever increasing use of AI for CV screening, I cannot stress enough the importance of getting face to face with potential employers. Employment fairs provide you with a golden opportunity for networking with people on your transition journey to initiate that pull. No matter how far along the transition you are, I implore you to attend, and if you can't make this one, go to the next one, it's worth a mere 1 day of GRT. There are plenty of service leavers in my network (and beyond) with more experienced that I, and some currently in transition, I would love to hear: what advice you would give a service leaver? or advice you have received that was useful to you?

On April 20, 2024, Best Buddies Philippines hosted the 7th session of the Pre-Employment Program alongside Southstar Drug at Bayer Philippines. Centered on the application process, the participants learned multiple tips in preparing an application and the different avenues where they can apply for work. One of which is applying via LinkedIn, where our facilitator Karen Chien Rodriguez, MSW, gave a step-by-step discussion. Additionally, our participants learned how to prepare and make use of job fairs as an alternative option for applications. To give them this experience, we conducted a short sample job fair where they start from filling out their mock application to presenting themselves to different hiring managers. In this video, we revisit the learning session to show the progress of PEP. Hear from our partners, how inclusion has made a change for them and how it can change their workplace. We want to recognize our partners and sponsors who believes in creating an inclusive workplace, as they have given us unyielding support for the Pre-Employment Program. Together, we make waves for change. Looking forward to the next session in this journey of growth.

As the chief coordinator and CDP in Planning for the Nairobi Mega Job Fair I learnt and applied a number of strategies thus breaking a number of barriers. This was the only Job Fair for the TVETs- Vocational Training Centers in the country for Nairobi County out of 47 counties. Strategically engaging government and county partners throughout the planning and execution of the job fair, enhanced the overall experience for all stakeholders involved while contributing positively to local workforce development efforts. Planning involved careful coordination among the various stakeholders, from government & county representatives, private sector employers, educational institutions, and community organizations CBOs and Alumni. This included Local administration - The Chief and Assistant Chief. Effectively engaging all stakeholders in the job fair was crucial for ensuring the event's success and maximizing its impact on the community. As a career development practitioner, understanding the expectations and roles of these stakeholders was crucial for the event. Some Strategies I used to engage Government Stakeholders 1. Early Involvement and Collaboration Stakeholder Mapping: mapped out all relevant government, county stakeholders, including local officials, labor departments, and economic development agencies. Involving Them Early: Engaging government & county representatives early in the planning process. This included inviting them to participate in initial meetings to discuss goals and objectives, ensuring they feel invested in the Job Fair from the outset. 2. Clear Communication of Objectives Defined Goals: Clearly articulated the objectives of the job fair, from promoting employment opportunities, facilitating skills development, or enhancing community partnerships. The stakeholders understood how their participation aligned with these goals. 3. Regular Updates: Kept the stakeholders informed about planning progress through regular updates and meetings from Wsup messages and phonecalls.This transparency fostered trust and encouraged ongoing support. The following is among the many discussions we had with the CECM or Waziri.
