Thanks to all who joined us at @matcmilwaukee this week to learn about how #ClimateUnited can work with local partners like @EmployMilwaukee, @iupatdc7 and many others to create an equitable #CleanEnergy transition for all.
Initiatives like @OpptyatWork's Skilled Through Alternative Routes (STARs) program connect employers with largely untapped talent opportunities. Individuals who go through apprenticeships, bootcamps & skills training are a critical part of the clean energy workforce.
We are collaborating with @OpptyatWork on a research project to better understand STARs’ skills and experiences and #TearThePaperCeiling that blocks them from higher-wage careers. Learn more: leadershipblog.act.org/2024/01/stars.… #BlackHistoryMonth
Black STARS have skills that position them for higher-wage work, yet they continue to be overrepresented in jobs with low wages, showing the need to build and broaden the pathways to jobs with family-sustaining wages and benefits for Black STARS. (2/3) opportunityatwork.org/our-solutions/…
Learn more about Black STARS from Irvine partner @OpptyatWork: opportunityatwork.org/our-solutions/… (3/3)
There are 10 million Black STARS–workers who are Skilled Through Alternative Routes, rather than through a bachelor’s degree–in the U.S. (1/3) opportunityatwork.org/our-solutions/…
Without future focused career guidance available to all, America’s underemployment problem will not be solved. Decisions have consequences, mindset is key to informed decisions. @ASA_Impact @stradaeducation @SchultzFamilyFd @LuminaFound @OpptyatWork @O aljazeera.com/economy/2024/2…
Do you enjoy working with data? Do you have experience with statistical software? Are you excited about making the labor market more equitable for workers? If so, consider joining the team at @OpptyatWork opportunityatwork.pinpointhq.com/postings/92528…
Labor market data indicates that there are millions of jobs that employers cannot fill. But, according to @OpptyatWork CEO and Co-Founder @byron_auguste, there also are millions of Americans who have the skills to fill these jobs — and a unique desire to contribute.
