Congratulations to the Oakland Public Works Training Academy class of 2024! Last week we gathered to celebrate Angel Luis, Antonio, Briana, Enrique, Froylan, Miracle, and Sotiaka who have just graduated from a 6-month pre-apprenticeship program that will help them launch careers in public service. The Academy is a grant-funded “grow-our-own” program that offers young Oaklanders with paid, on-the-job training at Oakland Public Works and career-building skills like resume writing and interviewing. Fifteen Oaklanders have graduated from our first two Academies, training in divisions that provide critical services like Facilities Maintenance, Environmental Services, Parks & Tree Services, Equipment Services, and Keep Oakland Clean and Beautiful. Four graduates were brought on board to fill key vacancies in these divisions, and all have learned skills that will serve them throughout their careers.

Appealing with our HEAD and HEART I vividly recall the interview my colleague and I had for our company's application to the apprenticeship program with the Construction Industry Council (CIC). The two interviewers expressed deep concern about the safety measures and learning opportunities we provide for our apprentices. To address their concerns, we assured them that safety is our top priority, not just for our employees but also for our apprentices. We shared how we consistently offer ongoing safety training to ensure their well-being. However, we wanted to convey more than just our commitment to safety. We decided to share a heartfelt story of how our company supported two apprentices in participating in the WorldskillsCompetition. In addition to providing them with comprehensive training resources, we went the extra mile. Our entire team signed a card, encouraging them to give their best. Even our senior management visited them during the competition, despite their apprentice status. The impact of this support was evident when we spoke to the apprentices after the competition. They expressed how much they had learned throughout their preparation and, most importantly, how their confidence had soared. Witnessing the transformation of a once-shy individual into a confident young person was truly remarkable. The interviewers, moved by our company's dedication to nurturing apprentices, were visibly touched. Before long, we received the news that we had successfully passed the interview, making our company eligible to join the program. As the saying goes, "Before we ask for a hand, we need to touch their heart." It serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of appealing to both logic and emotions. Let us always strive to connect with others using both our head and heart! #AppealingWithHeadAndHeart #CompanyValues #SafetyPriority #LearningOpportunities #SupportingApprentices #WorldskillsHongKong #GroomingTalent #TouchingHearts #EmotionalConnection #SuccessStories #BuildingConfidence Rita Tsui (Wulan) Ranny Che Zulhaimee Abdullah Peter Liew (MMIHRM) Cheong Kristine Adeline Huang

Celebrating Post-16 Achievements at River Hospital School 🎉 This academic year stands as a testament to our commitment to empowering our post-16 learners, ensuring they're geared up for the next chapter of their educational journey. Engaging with Opportunities: Our students have actively immersed themselves in a myriad of experiences, from attending open events at notable institutions like Middlesbrough College, Stockton Riverside College, and the Northern School of Art, to our very own tailored Careers Fair. The ASK programme remains a staple, guiding our students on apprenticeships and post-16 skills. Academic Advancements: The year witnessed a surge in students delving into Level 3 courses, and a commendable five students venturing into A-level studies. Changing Lives - A Success Story: We’re proud of our holistic approach. Take, for instance, one of our dual-registered learners who grappled with severe anxiety, to the point of seclusion. With the diligent effort of River Tees Hospital School, we mapped out a tailored curriculum, easing them from home-based learning to a community-blended model. This transition wasn't just about changing locations but transforming lives. From attending our summer residential to securing 8 GCSEs with remarkable grades, their journey is a shining example of our mission. The Path Ahead: We aim to bolster the number of learners pursuing Level 2 and A-Level courses. Our goal remains clear: 0 NEET students, irrespective of attendance. Our focus is unwavering in ensuring seamless transitions for our learners into Post-16 provisions. Join us in saluting the unwavering spirit of our students and the dedication of our staff. Here’s to many more success stories in the coming years! #Post16Achievements #EmpoweringStudents #EducationalJourney #Education

Helping Trades to stop the chase for project materials. Get what you want, when you want, where you want it.
Getting started in the trades is challenging. Sometimes kids give up before they start. But guess what? There are several paths to get started. First up, apprenticeships. Apply to state-registered programs with structured learning, wages, and a clear path to becoming a skilled pro—all for free. But remember, these spots are highly competitive. 🛠️ If apprenticeships are tough to snag, trade school is an excellent alternative. It boosts your chances when you apply for entry-level gigs. 🎓 Then there's on-the-job training. The classic route! Dive right in and learn as you work. Once you master your particular trade, the options for advancement are unlimited. Some will become supervisors, go into estimating, and others project management positions. The rest will take the entrepreneurial route and open their own businesses. The sky is the limit once you find your passion! 🚀! #skilledtrades #jointhetrades #bluecollar #STAC ↗ Hey, I'm Andrew I post every day at 8am est. ↗ I'm a skilled trades advocate. ↗ Join the trades movement: https://lnkd.in/eSqJzG9j ↗ Join the movement Follow me Andrew Brown
