Attention everyone! Save the children is hiring! I know there are so many people that are looking right now! And hope someone will see this! Please consider reposting this to your network for reach! Start of image transcript: The image depicts a flag fluttering in the wind, creating a dynamic sense of movement and flow. The fabric feels smooth and silky, with each stripe of the flag carrying a distinct texture and meaning. Starting from the left, the flag has a section that feels firm and vibrant, representing a sense of boldness and pride. This section has a triangle shape with a rough texture, symbolizing the intersectionality of identities. The triangle features stripes that feel layered, each stripe’s texture slightly different, ranging from smooth to coarse, representing the diversity within the community. The first stripe within the triangle is soft and warm, evoking a feeling of comfort and inclusiveness. Following this, there are stripes that feel both rough and smooth, suggesting the challenges and resilience of different identities. The triangle also includes a smooth circle, centered and raised, symbolizing unity and wholeness. As the flag extends to the right, it transitions into horizontal stripes that feel smooth and silky, fluttering freely. Each stripe has a unique texture, from a slightly raised, velvety feel to a cool, satin-like touch, representing the spectrum of identities and experiences within the community. The movement of the flag in the wind creates a tactile sensation of waves and ripples, evoking a sense of continuous flow and progression. The background feels open and airy, suggesting a broad, expansive sky, enhancing the feeling of freedom and visibility. The overall tactile experience of this flag conveys a strong sense of pride, diversity, and unity, with each section and texture representing different aspects of the community it symbolizes. #pridemonth #inclusion #hiring

What is diversity and inclusion??? Even I don't know till I did internship in saradha Valley Development samathi My recent internship at Saradha Valley Development Samithi, an NGO supporting the LGBTQ+ community, was a transformative experience. It challenged my own pre-conceived notions about diversity and inclusion. Prior to this internship, I must admit, I held some misconceptions about the LGBTQ+ community. However, through interaction and personal stories, I came to a profound realization: we are all human beings deserving of equal opportunity and respect. This experience resonated deeply with my aspirations for a career in Human Resources. It solidified my belief that talent should be the sole criterion for opportunity, regardless of gender identity or sexual orientation. This realization aligns perfectly with the growing emphasis on Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) within organizations. While D&I is a frequently used term, translating it into action is where the true challenge lies. I am optimistic that organizations will increasingly embrace D&I principles, fostering workplaces that celebrate the unique contributions of every individual. #diversity #inclusion #internship

Yesterday, I had the great pleasure of returning back to #StanstedAirportCollege, where I presented the recent and inaugural initiative launched by the #theaircharterassociation — the first of its kind: The ACA '75' Internship Programme. ✈ Marking the #75thanniversary of the association, as #Chair of the #NGG, it was a privilege to showcase this rare opportunity, which enables students financially and educationally and prepares them socially for the next stage of their journey. By providing them with the necessary skills and experience, the ACA '75' Internship Programme paves the way for the #nextgeneration and a purposeful entry into #businessaviation. This initiative intrinsically supports #UNSDG4; Quality Education, #UNSDG5; Gender Equality, #UNSDG8; Decent Work and Economic Growth and #UNSDG10; Reduced Inequalities. A core theme that arose from my engagement with the #NextGen was, as anticipated, #sustainability. As an industry, we are continuously striving to achieve higher sustainability; navigating the nuances and embedding more purposeful decisions leading to more environmentally and socially ethical actions. For aviation to be truly sustainable in the #longterm, we need the next generation, and they need us. The ACA calls for all members who are willing to provide this opportunity.

In today's dynamic world, the empowerment of women is more crucial than ever. By offering internship opportunities, we can create pathways for women to gain the skills, experience, and confidence needed to thrive in their careers. Internships serve as a bridge between academic learning and professional work, providing women with a platform like 𝐀𝐋𝐏𝐇𝐀 𝐖𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐍 to showcase their talents and develop their potential. Empowering women through internship opportunities is a crucial step toward achieving gender equality in the workplace. By providing women with the skills, experience, and networks they need to succeed, we can help them build fulfilling careers and contribute to the broader goal of creating a more equitable and inclusive society.

Revisiting some old stuff, I stumbled upon something my daughter had written three years ago during an internship with Young Leaders for Active Citizenship (YLAC). I totally loved how she put her thoughts together in this one and expressed it so beautifully. • • • • • • We, the women, are the equal half of the world. Yet, we are always yearning and fighting for the half that is due to us... Half our share of the opportunities... Half our share of respect... Half our share of attention... And half our share of resources. We, the women, are the equal half of the world. Yet, the "equal" is always missed out... Equal pay... Equal rights... Equal responsibilities... And equal accountabilities. We, the women, are the equal half of the world. Yet, for ages we have been denied both equal(ity) and half. But, not any more. We are now standing up for equal rights and we are not accepting half-truths anymore. We don't need you to tell us that we are important (on women's day or by worshipping women deities). We want you to work with us in ensuring an equitable world where we are equal halves, in word and in essence.

🌈 With a serious lack of representation comes a feeling of not belonging, which was the case for one of last season's guests Nicole Morris. In fact, the film she starred in was about her journey to becoming a marine biologist in a field that completely lacked any type of visible queer representation. 🚧 This is a sector-wide issue and, although it is getting marginally better, there are still many barriers in place that prevent LGBTQIA+ people, and those from other minority groups, from pursuing their dream career. 🔍 In this newsletter Hannah reflects on the environmental sector, considering its whiteness, abled-bodied-ness, heteronormativity and transnormativity, and why many parts of it are still inaccessible to certain socio-economic groups. https://ow.ly/sIYG50ShP1Q #DiversityAndInclusion #LGBTQIARepresentation #EnvironmentalSector #EqualityInSTEM #BreakingBarriers #InclusiveWorkplace #RepresentationMatters #DiverseCareers #EDI #PrideMonth

This week we will be sharing more about the #QSA2024 Employer categories starting with 'Employer of the Year' in partnership with Trans in the City. This is a fantastic opportunity for employers recruiting apprentices and graduates to showcase the work done to attract, select and train young LGBTQ+ people for your programmes.

Internship opportunities could also be available but are not compulsory to enter. Your entry should tell us: - What LGBTQ+ inclusive strategies you have in place to support apprentices, graduates and interns throughout your recruitment process (attraction, selection, onboarding) and as part of their training programme - How you monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of these strategies - What impact your LGBTQ+ apprentices, graduates and interns have upon school and campus recruitment activities Entries close at 2359 on Weds 3rd April.

[ Reflecting on the Kordsa Unistars Ideathon Program Experience ] Three exhilarating days have just flown by. This was my first time participating in an ideathon or hackathon focused specifically on Inclusive Language. The experience was truly enlightening as I engaged in discussions about creating a more inclusive workplace environment, starting with the use of inclusive language. This program prompted me to reflect on my own experiences with discrimination in previous jobs. As a female intern, I was particularly vulnerable to discrimination and harassment in the workplace. Talking with my team members, I discovered that they, too, had faced discrimination during their internships. It became clear to me that this isn't just my issue—it's a challenge we all face. While we didn't achieve a top spot in the program, the insights and connections gained were invaluable, and I am optimistic about more opportunities to advocate for gender equality and justice in professional settings. As a woman, it is crucial for me to raise awareness about Inclusive Language and its importance to everyone. Beyond fighting for equal pay, we must also advocate for other essential rights in the workplace, such as the ability to express our opinions freely, support minority colleagues, and ensure that everyone feels included and respected. Have you ever wondered if our struggles to thrive in the workplace are rooted in discriminatory practices and the lack of inclusive language that makes us feel valued and respected? #UnistarsIdeathon #Kordsa #Growth #Career #Innovation

New research from Redrow, Platinum Member of The 5% Club, has revealed that the gender stereotypes in construction are dwindling as 66% of young women participants already work in, have considered working in or are open to working in construction - up 17% from 2023. The survey of 1,000 young adults found that it’s not just the potential high salary young women find appealing (39%), but also the opportunity to have a long-term career (26%) and the ability to set up their own business later down the line (25%). The increase in women entering the sector could be attributed to a rise in female role models. In fact, over two-fifths (42%) of women surveyed want to work for a company that has female or LGBTQ leaders. There is further detail in the linked showhome/Construction Buzz article below, including comment from karen jones (Group HRD Redrow) and Darryl Stewart (NHBC). #apprenticeships #earnandlearn #genderequity #constructionindustry #stereotypes
