What does Grassroots Grocery do during the week when we're not hosting our Saturday Produce Party? One major focus is our commitment to nurturing the future through regular produce deliveries to middle and high schools in Upper Manhattan and the Bronx. A prime example of this commitment is our partnership with New Directions Secondary School, initiated by a committed school social worker, Jolyon Davis, LMSW,SIFI, who sought out resources for his students. Today marked a particularly special moment, bringing me back to my educational roots in the Bronx. This time, invited by Jolyon not for a produce delivery but to share insights from my career journey alongside a diverse group of professionals at the NDSS career fair. Speaking at this event was an opportunity to demonstrate the synergy between our weekday school deliveries and our vision for a healthier, empowered future for young minds. I hope that today I helped some students envision a future as rich and diverse as the produce we deliver. A heartfelt thank you to Jolyon for integrating Grassroots Grocery into the fabric of NDSS, and a shout-out to all the other professionals today for enriching the career fair with their insights and experiences. As Grassroots Grocery continues to bridge the gap between food access and education, every delivery, conversation, and partnership, especially ones like with NDSS, underscores our belief in the transformative power of community engagement. Together, we're not just feeding families; we're planting seeds of potential in the next generation. Let's keep building those bridges, one produce delivery and career fair at a time. #CommunityImpact #EmpoweringYouth #FutureLeaders #FoodJustice #BuildingBridges

The jobless rate in the CareerSource Citrus Levy Marion region was 4.5% in June, up 0.7 percentage point over the month [...]. Rusty Skinner, CareerSource CLM’s chief executive officer, noted that the bump in the jobless rate and number counted as unemployed is in line with what the region typically experiences moving into the summer months with seasonal shifts in education support and agriculture employment, as well as an influx of post-secondary students returning to the area looking for summer jobs before going back to school. “What we’re experiencing at this time of year is a typical summer slump; it is not unique to our region nor to any other area in Florida for that matter,” he said. “That doesn’t mean we take our foot off the gas; we know businesses are eager to hire which is why we strive to connect them with those looking for work.” Skinner pointed to two such opportunities: the Summer Job Fair that takes place Tuesday, July 23 from 5-7 p.m. at Howard Academy Community Center in Ocala, and the Citrus County Regional Job Fair set to take place at the College of Central Florida’s Citrus County Campus on Aug. 27. Both are free and open anyone in Citrus, Levy or Marion counties. Read the full news release: https://lnkd.in/dTbbupRn #JoblessRate #OcalaEmployment #CareerSource

Employer’s Choice: More than a slogan In the month of October … Approximately 400 employers on campus throughout the month giving feedback on the curriculum for almost 40 technical programs. Twenty-some employers presenting to students during Employer Lunch & Learns. And closing out the month with close to 40 employers for the Commercial Turf and Grounds career fair. That doesn’t even account for employer tours and classroom presentations that I am not even aware of that are happening on campus. Did I mention the annual career expo registration opens the end of this month? 400 employers participated last year and there is a list of over a 100 new employers eager to participate in the 2025 Career Expo on February 11 & 12. It’s not just a slogan. State Technical College of Missouri is the Employers Choice. And you can be a part of this experience … bring your son, your daughter, your nephew, your niece, your grandson, your granddaughter, etc to our Open House on Saturday October 5. Enjoy some State Tech hospitality. https://statetechmo.edu We are ready to roll into October!

I've been getting a lot of questions about the event we're putting on, so I wanted to answer some of the most common ones: ✨ Is this a job fair? Technically, no. This event is a conversational roundtable featuring young people and professionals alongside employers and leaders. It's a chance to share perspectives about each other and discuss how we can overcome generational obstacles as a community. ✨ This event is FREE! Originally, we considered a fee to cover costs, but I wanted to be fair and absorb the cost as an investment. ✨ This is NOT confrontational. This isn't about hearsay. We'll be using statistics and key indicators observed within our community to facilitate discussion. ✨ Who's participating? We'll have students from high schools and colleges across the Springfield-Branson metro area. This includes international students, Springfield-Branson natives, and those planning to leave or enter the workforce. ✨ The goal? To share perspectives and find common ground.

Why is it in K12 that we only truly know the path to college from high school? That we can easily chart a course for a young person to seamlessly step off of a high school campus and on to a college campus, but we expect that a young person who wants a future after high that does not initially include a 4-year degree, to that young person, who happens to be the majority of high school grads, to that person we say, here’s your diploma, go figure it out. Yes there is the occasional career fair and yes there are some CTE programs that sort of link high school and career but for majority of high school students who don’t want to go to college, can’t afford college or who are only going because they think they are supposed to we mostly say - good luck.

No, but corporate cuss outs are worse We lost 425 hours the following weekend Okay, now we need to aim for 375 WE had our game plan and sights set And you guessed it, corporate cuss out Whatever Now lets go for 325 "You guys are underperforming.

Perfect Change 2 or 3 things.. BOOM! 50% A few more things.. 65% Going from 36% to 90% Is more about NOT beating yourself Which is why I use the Atlanta Falcons example Did the RPDC try to go 100% to capacity Within the first 90 days of opening? It took Walmart over 2 years That's being generous A Million sq ft warehouse is not a government program Tax payers have nothing to do with the KPI You have to run it!

Today is the Chicago Urban League 's Premier Job Fair! Help spread the word about this opportunity to connect with 75+ employers from the Chicagoland area including Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois. Explore thousands of job openings with great wages and benefits, and get job search tips from the Chicago Urban League, Jobcase, Inc., and more! 🔗 Secure your spot now: bit.ly/culjobfair24 Why? Because employment levels in Chicago and beyond have rebounded since the COVID-19 pandemic, but a new report has found teens and young adults across the city, particularly those of color, are still struggling to find consistent work. Black and Latino youth and young adults in Chicago continue to have higher jobless and out-of-school-and-jobless rates compared to White Chicagoans,” the report states, “highlighting the importance of implementing targeted programs to promote more equitable employment opportunities for youth and young adults.” According to the report, there were tens of thousands of teens and young adults in Chicago between the ages of 16-24 who are both out of school and jobless in 2022 — the year this study examined. Chicago remains worse off than Illinois and the U.S in joblessness for Black and Latino 16- to 19-year-olds and 20-to-24-year-olds, the report found. The highest percentages of joblessness in Chicago, recorded at 92.8%, were found around the South and West side neighborhoods of Pilsen, Bridgeport, McKinley Park, Fuller Park and Back of the Yards. The Far South Side of Chicago in particular had a large cluster of high jobless rates ranging from 86.7% to 92% for 16-to-19-year-olds, the report found. #HCSCcareers #BCBSIL #JobFair #ChicagoJobs #CareerOpportunities #JobSearch #ChicagoUrbanLeague

7moThank you so much! Dan, I appreciate everything you and Grassroots Grocery are doing for the community at large. You motivation to create change for ALL communities in NYC is nothing but inspiring. I'm thankful for the partnership with Grassroots Grocery with NDSS! You've definitely helped bridge a gap to a significant issue in our society (food insecurity), and a need for our students and families here at NDSS. We thank you, and look forward to many more events, volunteering, and beyond!
