Workday for Higher Education’s Post

Happy Monday July has brought with it a wave of excitement at Aha! Workforce Education Solutions LLC ! as we soak up the summer sun and start to bring our fiscal year to a close, aligned with the government's structured schedule.🎉 Our fiscal year begins in October and ends in September—a strategic choice that sets the stage for our future successes. Following the government's fiscal calendar isn't just about compliance—it's about leveraging a proven framework for planning and growth. ⚖️ By starting to wrap up our fiscal year in July, we're not only closing out our projects and collecting valuable data but also laying the groundwork for a dynamic year ahead and giving us time to Dream BIG. 💭 As we start to bid farewell to 2024, we're crunching numbers, analyzing trends, and fine-tuning our strategies to ensure a strong start to 2025. Because combining entrepreneurial spirit with bureaucratic efficiency isn't just a strategy—it's a formula for sustainable growth.💼 Here's to July, a month of reflection, preparation, and anticipation for the opportunities that lie ahead. Let's make 2025 a year filled with innovation and achievement, inspired by the structured approach of our government fiscal year. 🦸♀️🦸♀️ Daisy Soler Appteon Inc. ICF U.S. Department of Labor

🎉 #HOH SFP Fellows 🎉 Today's HOH SFP session was simply magic! Our week 9 Fellows took a well-earned break as I guided our newbies through a brief Orientation Review, finding our stride in the monthly cadence.🚀 In a bid to sprinkle some extra sparkle during a busy week, I turned to our HOH SFP alumni network, doubtful this could be pulled off on a last-minute whim. To my delight, within a minute, not one but 3 rock star alums rearranged their schedules for a surprise drop-in. 🌟 Maria Bonhomme, Salesforce Developer at PenFed Credit Union, Phillip Patterson, MBA, CSM, Project Manager, Customer Success at Argano, and Se Jin Heo, Solution Architect at Salesforce, from Cohort 23-1(#niftyfifty) gave a fantastic, honest account of their time as fellows. This impromptu visit turned into an invaluable session, sharing the real scoop on their experiences, struggles, and victories, imparting wisdom on perseverance and the rewards of tenacity & diligence. 📈 To employers weighing experience over potential, consider our alumni. Just a year post-program, they exemplify what nurturing talent can achieve — Transforming Padawans into Jedis.⚡ 💥Their rapid evolution exemplifies the brilliance of cultivating talent. 🚀I can't wait to see what these new fellows have in store as they navigate their journey! 🙌Here's to transition, to embracing change, to the courage to explore new challenges, and to acknowledging the power of support and belief in unlocking extraordinary tales. 🙌 This session put the very best smile on my face!😁😁😁 Have an Awesome Sauce Weekend LinkedIn!

If you are involved in measurement and evaluation and haven’t met the Matter of Focus team, you’re missing something magical. There are ways to tell your impact story and understand your contribution to positive change in complex systems that doesn’t rely on performative targets or lose focus on the outcomes that matter most to people and communities. They changed my practice. Take a look 👇🏼👇🏽👇🏾👇🏿

Student engagement is crucial to improving #k12education and preparing young people for successful careers. One way to boost student engagement is through work-based learning. By giving students real-world experience, we can get them excited about their future careers and help them develop the skills they need to succeed. Let's continue to prioritize #stemeducation and #workbasedlearning to ensure a bright future for our students!

🌟 #HOH SFP Friday Huddle Recap 🌟 ✨Happy Friday, LinkedIn! Today's huddle was packed full of the usual SFP awesomeness.🙌 🌟Eight fellows from four host companies came together to support one another, learn from each other, and share this unique experience. 🚀💙 🌟The first part of our session focused on building a strong support network by paying it forward. Our fellows exchanged valuable insights and experiences, reinforcing the importance of collaboration and shared learning. It’s fantastic to see fellows only a few weeks into their fellowship already passing on knowledge to help newer fellows walk their paths with a little more confidence. 💪🤝 🙌We had the pleasure of welcoming back SFP alumna Mairenys Matos, "Maya," Enterprise Solution Engineer at Toast, for the second part of our session. 🌟Maya delivered a fantastic presentation on the "Art of Storytelling." Her vibrant personality brought the discussion to life. Using her own story, she covered how to craft your narrative, make it relevant to your goals, and identify your "why." 🎤✨ 🌟The huddle was impactful, insightful, and inspiring. Knowing your story is crucial for your career journey and beyond. Another key takeaway: don’t be afraid to try new things. 💡🚀 ✨What a fantastic way to wrap up June.👏 🎇Wishing everyone a wonderful 4th of July holiday!🎆 Stephanie Murphy #TransitioningServiceMembers #MilitarySpouses #Storytelling #CollaborativeMentorship #PayItForward #Commnunity #Network
