Skills for Rhode Island's Future is committed to supporting jobseekers from all walks of life in their search for meaningful employment. We do our best work when we partner with others, whether we collaborate with other community organizations or across teams within our own! Last Thursday, May 2nd, our Client Services, Talent Acquisition, Career Services, RI Small Business HUB, and workABILITY teams participated in a multi-employer Veteran's Job Fair at Community College of Rhode Island's Knight Campus in Warwick, hosted by The Providence VA VBA Regional Office, Veteran Readiness & Employment (VRE) Division, CCRI Student Veterans, and the Rhode Island Department of Labor & Training. The event connected veterans and others with career opportunities and resources, and our SkillsRI teams personally met with over 30 jobseekers and almost every employer in attendance! Events like these are essential for informing and supporting those who may have barriers to employment, like Rhode Island's veteran population, and you never know where or when any given team member may lend specialized support or connect for an opportunity for work outside of their typical purview. Bill Harold, Supported Employment Coordinator for workABILITY, spotted and caught up with DATTCO, INC, a transportation company that attended the event looking to recruit new hires. DATTCO recently partnered with and successfully hired a workABILITY candidate for a role as a School Bus Monitor/Aide, so Bill took the opportunity to explore ways to collaborate further by introducing DATTCO's hiring team to members of SkillsRI's Client Services team for additional sourcing and roles. #SkillsRI and #workABILITY thank all of our community partners, employer partners, and the sponsors of this event for their support in providing resources to the veteran community and so many others! It often takes only one person or one effort to make a difference in the lives of others, so together, we should expect the impact of our work will be far greater! If you're an employer seeking talent, contact the workABILITY team to join our mission of providing equal opportunities for all!

Do you ever recall the memorable career fair episode from Season 4 of "The Office"? Yes, the one where Dunder Mifflin's attempt to attract talent was anything but smooth - from Pam's challenging moments explaining their operations, to a young attendee's quick exit after learning they were a paper company. Amidst the humorous chaos, there were valuable lessons on the importance of clear messaging and preparation. Fast forward to today, imagine Dunder Mifflin embracing Paylocity for their next career fair. Imagine the transformation: ▪ Elevating Engagement: With Paylocity, we'd revamp their career page, integrating videos to share the Dunder Mifflin story compellingly, catering to the visual and dynamic preferences of upcoming graduates. ▪ Streamlining Connections: Picture Oscar, Pam, and Darryl armed with QR codes at the career fair, simplifying the application process for students, creating a seamless bridge between potential candidates and the company. ▪ Amplifying Reach, Minimizing Awkwardness: Envision a scenario where Michael spreads the word effectively, without resorting to commandeering the microphone, ensuring the company's presence is felt, respected, and remembered for the right reasons. ▪ Driving Success, Not Regret: No more dismal drives home reflecting on missed opportunities. With the right tools like Paylocity, success is not just hoped for; it's planned and executed. This journey from missed opportunities at a career fair to leveraging modern solutions like Paylocity illustrates a broader truth: payroll systems today are about so much more than numbers. They're about enhancing engagement, simplifying processes, and ultimately, transforming how we connect with potential talent. Let's rethink how we approach talent engagement and acquisition with tools that match our ambition and the expectations of the new generation. The future is here, and it's time we embrace it. #TalentAcquisition #CareerFairSuccess #Paylocity #ModernWorkplace #TheOffice #payrollPJ #dundermifflin

Giving students the opportunity to excel! Practice makes perfect... correction, perfect practice makes perfect! Here at Kansas State University Salina we ensure our students have the opportunity to learn by doing! Here is another wonderful example... #aviation #aviationcollege #flightschool #airlines
We welcomed a small pool of employers to offer an excellent opportunity for a virtual Pitch Night with our professional pilot students! Students heard about each organization and were "pitched" jobs and other pathway opportunities. The event also included breakout rooms where employers invited attendees to ask questions and gain additional skills and knowledge about available opportunities. Employer Pitch Nights, hosted by the campus Career Services, allow our students to have another chance to network and build off of prior conversations they had with employers at our Job Fair last month! #KStateSalina | #ExperienceMatters | #FlyKState

We recently supported Horizon Health Network in preparation for a job fair, and let's just say, it went swimmingly! They used our platform to create a lightning-fast landing page with a simple application form. Horizon Health strategically placed the QR code throughout their booth, encouraging interested candidates to scan it and apply on the spot. The results? Everyone was surprised! Applicants loved the hassle-free application process, and Horizon Health was impressed by the high volume of qualified leads. Here's what Horizon Health had to say: "It went really well. We drove home the quick app QR and honestly, everyone was suspicious because it was SO EASY." Want to see similar results at your next job fair? Look no further than CandidateHub!

Great day at Career Transition Partnership Careers Fair in Bristol yesterday! We had the opportunity to speak with many service leavers, each with unique backgrounds and aspirations. Here are some highlights: ✅ Diverse Backgrounds: We met individuals from various branches of the military, each bringing a wealth of experience and diverse skill sets. Many had technical and leadership skills, honed through years of service, which they were eager to translate into civilian roles. ✅ Career Aspirations: A significant number expressed interest in industries like cybersecurity, project management, engineering, and logistics. Some were looking to leverage their existing skills directly, while others were keen on retraining for new careers. ✅ Challenges Faced: Common challenges included translating military experience into civilian job market terms, understanding new industry jargon, and navigating the often unfamiliar landscape of civilian job applications. Throughout our conversations, we focused on offering tailored advice and support: ✅ CV and Interview Tips: We provided insights on how to effectively communicate military experiences in a way that resonates with civilian employers. ✅ Networking Strategies: Encouraged service leavers to build and leverage professional networks, including utilizing platforms like LinkedIn. ✅ Career Matching: Discussed how to identify roles and industries that align with their skills and interests, emphasizing the importance of researching potential career paths. Thank you to Fraser Martin Rupert Garside James Fry & Gemma Purchase 🌻 Chartered MCIPD, MSc for supporting the event and making it so successful Attending this event reinforced the importance of such platforms in bridging the gap between military service and civilian employment, ensuring that those individuals can smoothly transition into fulfilling second careers. #careers #opportunities #recruitment
