For further insights, delve into the research by Alicia Modestino and Richard Paulsen in Education Nextcwhere they show the benefits of seasonal jobs, particularly for those from low-income neighborhoods with few job opportunities nearby. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dc8XxQvj

I have accepted a new position working with economically disadvantaged youth. My program works with High School Freshman and Sophomores until graduation to develop job skills. This program work includes Work Readiness Training, Volunteering, and assistance in obtaining employment. The interns work up to fifteen hours per week during the school year and up to thirty hours per week during the summer break. Interns work for twelve dollars an hour and are staff leased to employers. The balance of their wages is paid by the JWB grant along with workers’ compensation and employee taxes. In addition to income, the interns gain experience, improved self-esteem, and an understanding of how education impacts professional choices. Employing Youth Employment Program interns helps our community. Does you have any ideas about preparing youth for employment that are not the traditional youth jobs?

New York City’s Summer Youth Employment Program has made incredible strides in recent years, connecting a record 100,000+ young New Yorkers to paid work opportunities. Our new report suggests that there is one area where SYEP can improve to have a greater impact: expanding employer partnerships to high-wage, high-growth industries. In 2022, just 0.7 percent of SYEP worksites were in tech, 0.6 percent in business and finance, and 1.7 percent in media.

So you might think, 'No, I'm too ordinary. I'm not into this whole re-entry thing that people often talk about.' But I tell you, it is for everybody. You can help somebody coming from prison even on a budget. You can change a person's life with just a few dollars and coaching. The number of people coming out of prison and being destitute is high. A bit of counseling and just a small amount of money can change someone's life. I am speaking from personal experience. When someone has just recently come out of prison, they don't have money for rent. In certain locations, a room can cost between $50 to $70. In smaller or less developed areas, you can find a room for $20 to $30. This amount can help someone have a roof over their head for a month while they are looking for part-time jobs. Sit them down and encourage or connect them to find part-time jobs. There are many minimum wage jobs available, especially in working in people's gardens. Since it's the rainy season, there is a lot of grass to be cut or slashed. They can earn something a day, and in about a month, they can accumulate enough money to cover their rent and food. This helps them sustain themselves while they continue searching for stable employment. Alleviate Justice-involved persons re-entry programs have transformed the lives of many people. By giving them enough support for three months, such as paying for rent and covering school fees for short courses at polytechnics, we allow young individuals to change their mindset. After three months or less for some, they can take care of themselves while still pursuing their studies and gaining practical experience through paid internships or attachments. It is not difficult if everybody does this. We would not have a high number of people experiencing homelessness or poverty upon exiting prison. For those with relatives who are coming out of prison, much counseling is needed. The main goal is to change the mindset of the person because sometimes, even if you provide them with everything they need, they might revert back to previous behaviors. Also, remember that in some cases, reintegration may take longer than others. But what matters is patience and giving second chances.

In recognition of School Social Worker Week, let's explore the path to becoming a social worker and delineate the distinctions between a School Social Worker and a School Counselor Have you ever considered the path to becoming a social worker? Prospective school social workers are typically required to attain both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in social work, supplemented by a school internship experience. It's important to note that specific requirements may vary from state to state. Do you know what distinguishes a school counselor from a school social worker? Understanding the distinction between a school social worker and a school counselor is vital. While school counselors primarily aid students in achieving academic goals through individual or group counseling sessions, school social workers specialize in providing individualized support to students for improved academic and social performance. #NationalSchoolSocialWorkWeek #SSWWeek2024 #MaximStaffing #SchoolStaffing #SchoolJobs #EducationServices

Today we are outside City Hall calling on NYC Mayor Eric Adams to #SaveLTW, a vital program for young adults. Through Learning To Work (LTW), young adults who have struggled in the traditional high school setting get another chance to earn a diploma, while getting the support they need to succeed: academics, emotional well-being, counseling, and career guidance. LTW even offers paid internships, letting students earn a paycheck and explore potential careers while going to school. This incredibly successful program, however, is in jeopardy. This June, the DOE is considering cutting up to 72% of LTW funding. This threatens the futures of 16,000 promising young adults across 66 Transfer High Schools and 19 Young Adult Borough Centers (YABCs). NYC needs LTW to ensure no young person falls through the cracks! #nyc #queensnyc #education #graduation #employment #youthemployment #learningtowork #fundltw #highschool #diploma #advocacy #nycityhall #nycmayor
