What a week! Enjoyed hosting our 10 community-based nonprofit #GableGrants recipients at Lowe's University. A big thanks to Next Stage for hosting a workshop on pursuing a common purpose before we all joined in on a Sleep in Heavenly Peace bed build, which completed 1,000 beds for children in need around Charlotte!

Highlights from the #HarlemWeek Job & Career Fair in The City College of New York's Great Hall… 🔶 Schenine Mitchell, US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 2 Brownfields Program Coordinator, met trainees from our first-ever Construction Trades Training program with Positive Workforce. 🌎 On the Green Jobs panel, Ms. Mitchell, Angelo Lampousis & representatives of NYC Mayor's Office of Talent and Workforce Development & Con Edison agreed that job skills — including technical writing and soft skills — are increasingly more important in hiring decisions than traditional degrees. ⭐ And last but not least, Rangel team members Nicole Mbisike & Jill B. Weston worked their magic, encouraging job-seekers to invest in their future with infrastructure job training.

Thank you Vinny Torres and Positive Workforce Team for visiting The City College of New York and for addressing the participants enrolled in infrastructure training with The Charles B. Rangel Infrastructure Workforce Initiative. Your enthusiasm is contagious and we are all excited to welcome you again on campus soon!
This is an exciting week for the Rangel Initiative! Vinny Torres, Executive Director of Positive Workforce, visited Baseline Training to tell trainees about our new Construction Jobs Training Track, aimed at placing graduates in the jobs that are building our city. Participants will get hands-on experience in electricity, carpentry and plumbing in Positive Workforce's well-equipped training facility and employment support once they're done. We couldn't have partnered with a better organization. Thanks, Vinny! Now let's get these folks to work 🏗️🛠️💪
