It is great to see the ongoing success of Right Track’s program over the years! I enrolled in the program back in 2016 and acquired substantial knowledge in professionalism and career development. #RightTrack #professionaldevelopment #careerdevelopment #network

Sunday afternoon at the 2024 ICMA (International City/County Management Association) Annual Conference, I attended an education session entitled, "Building the Bench: Strategies for Recruiting and Retaining Emerging Leaders for Large and Small Communities". The staffing, management, and leadership issues we face in Whitfield County are the same plaguing local governments across the United States. First, our workforce is older than those working in other employment sectors. Second, our most tenured employees are retiring and taking talent and institutional knowledge with them as they exit. Third, government employment is not as attractive as it used to be due to stagnant wages, declining benefits, and increasing stress. All of this makes it difficult and vital to fill our ranks replacing those retiring or leaving for greener pastures in the private sector. One solution is that used by baseball teams - developing talent through a farm system. For government that means creating a strong internship program designed to bring young, talented, altruistic people into our organizations and hopefully convince them to remain public servants throughout their careers.

Great transformation

Embracing the Digital Era: A Necessity for Modern Organizations General David H. Petraeus, US Army (Ret.), former Director of the CIA and commander of all forces in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, once stated, "If you get the big ideas right, the little ideas will follow." At Parachute Group our big idea is to reskill Veterans through tech-apprenticeship programs to create a technical workforce capable of closing the digital divide in 🇺🇸, and beyond 🌐 🪂 : The Digital Era, marked by pervasive technology integration, requires organizations to undergo digital transformation to remain competitive. This involves creating a digital strategy that aligns initiatives with business goals, sets clear objectives, and includes a data governance plan to manage data quality, privacy, and security. Setting and tracking Objectives and Key Results guides efforts and measures progress.

It aims to bridge the gap between different socioeconomic groups, fostering social and economic inclusion. ❄ Digital Inequity highlights disparities in access to digital technologies and skills, driven by socioeconomic status, geography, education, age, and disability. Addressing these barriers is crucial for ensuring full participation in the digital world and reducing inequalities. 🪂 Digital empowerment enables effective use of digital technologies to enhance lives. It involves providing access to digital tools, developing digital skills, and fostering an environment for innovation and problem-solving, leading to improved job prospects and quality of life. 📍 The Digital Divide is the gap between those with and without access to digital technologies and the internet, caused by economic, geographic, educational, and social barriers.

In recognition of #NationalApprenticeWeek, have a read of Corporate Sales Associate and former Cynergy Bank apprentice Reilly O’Dowd's thoughts on the benefits of #apprenticeship and his new role at CBF!

Almost 30 years ago, Nana Violet was part of a group of Aboriginal leaders from Ieramugadu (Roebourne) who designed an innovative employment program. The program was not designed to generate workers for industry, it was designed to empower the people of Roebourne to pursue a pathway that THEY are passionate about. Not about doing what the world EXPECTS of them. A way for them to break the mould. They called it Warrgamugardi Yirdiyabura. Which loosely translates to “pathways for employment” This week Nana Violet’s granddaughter Dolly started her apprenticeship on the program, as she pursues her hospitality traineeship through NYFL. We keep getting asked by industry and government, why does this program work so well? It is 100% designed by Elders. The ONLY people who can design an effective pathway through social and economic change are those at the heart of it. That’s why it works. As Australia learns this week that closing the gap will fail if there without fundamental change, the answer is found is cultural owned and driven initiatives around the nation. This program is culturally safe. It is operated by the local community. It is guided by Elders. It is understanding. It is holistic. It navigates and embraces kinship systems. It understand complex avoidance relationships. It takes a trauma-informed approach. It is OWNED and driven by local mob. It measures success not by statistics but by observing social change and empowerment. Just watch Dolly’s growth… #socialimpact #westernaustralia
