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

Really important and useful survey, please support it if you can. If it helps, the more data there is in here, the more work it will likely make for me, so if you like the idea of me having even more useful LMI to work with then please use my misery as motivation.

How marvelous to watch these seniors invest in their professional futures as they learned tips and tricks on how to network like a pro!

Looking forward to running workshops this week on where apprenticeships fit in the qualifications framework and how our Partners can boost their careers at the John Lewis Partnership 🎉 #nationalcareersweek #apprenticeships #tlevels #drivenbypurpose

We've all been at the beginning of the road at one time or another! 😇 And given that we remember what it's like, we look out for those who are now starting their IT careers. 🙏 Here are some tips from our experience, that we have recounted in a press article: https://lnkd.in/dJRJXftU .

Adopting a competency-based approach to career readiness is crucial for equipping students with the demonstrable skills to meet the hiring criteria used by today’s early talent recruiters. Join us in Chicago on April 17 for a NACE Competencies & Skill Deep Dive —an entire day of interactive sessions dedicated to learning how to scale NACE Competencies across your entire organization. https://ow.ly/FTsF50QL2A9

In rural areas, identifying a potential career path can be even more of a challenge for students since schools have limited resources and access to career counseling and training. To help overcome this challenge, H.I.R.E.D. is helping students in Northwest Arkansas figure out their passion and determine the path to pursue it, whether college or career focused.

Is embedding Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) at the heart of your business strategy a priority for you? At EqualEngineers, our focus at the recent Bristol Careers Fair was clear: to bring EDI to the forefront of engineering and technology sectors. The fair wasn't just an event; it was a testament to the transformative power of diverse talent in reshaping industries. We're excited to share a video testimonial from Ana do Lago of Turnbull Infrastructure & Utilities Ltd, who attended our Bristol's Careers Fair. Her insights are a powerful reminder of the impact of inclusive practices. Our commitment is to build environments where diversity and innovation thrive, challenging the norms and fostering a new era of inclusive engineering. It's not only about current workplace dynamics; it’s about influencing the future of the engineering profession, making it accessible and welcoming to all. Picture a workplace where diversity isn't an afterthought but a fundamental pillar, enriching every aspect of your organisation. At EqualEngineers, we don’t just facilitate conversations; we initiate lasting changes in how teams and leaders perceive and implement EDI. Embark on this journey with us to redefine engineering with inclusivity at its core, where every voice contributes to groundbreaking innovations. Let's pioneer a future where EDI is woven into every facet of our professional lives.
