John Tansill, director of veteran affairs at SkillStorm, says veterans offer qualities to companies beyond their technical skills. For instance, he says, “The U.S. military has been working in an agile environment since Washington crossed the Delaware and so, they’re very adaptable. They’re?very good at pivoting.” Read more about how SkillStorm is helping prepare transitioning military personnel and their spouses for careers in tech in this new WorkingNation report: https://lnkd.in/eruAZvKH #MilitaryTransition #TechJobs #veterans #CareerPathways #certifications Soleil Morrison U.S. Department of Labor Veterans Employment Training Service, Inc.

Native Americans have endured higher unemployment rates than the national average, but there are education-to-career programs in several states trying to change that by paving better career pathways to quality jobs. Meet several Native Americans using these programs to help change the equation: https://lnkd.in/eGudHHNY For instance, Ashton Gatewood, a resident physician at the University of Oklahoma School of Community Medicine in Tulsa, recently went through the only U.S. medical school affiliated with a tribe, and says it was an important aspect of her journey. “The main thing for me was to be able to continue working with tribal members on tribal land,” she says of attending Oklahoma State University College of Osteopathic Medicine at the Cherokee Nation (OSU-COM). “The fact is we had faculty, staff, students, patients – everyone is part of that community – all working together to improve our health and wellness. That’s something that’s really unique about being a student at that school.” #NativeAmerican #CareerPathways #EducationToCareer #AmericanIndian Katie Bugg Red River Nation Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma Natasha Bray, DO Oklahoma State University Center for Health Sciences Cherokee Nation Indian Health Service National Health Service Corps Nicholas Kedrowski Nyree Kedrowski Oneida Nation Five Skies Training and Consulting Ramona Schindelheim

There’s a surge in hiring in manufacturing – and that even includes small manufacturers. So how are they reaching out for qualified workers to fill the jobs that need to get done? Ramona Schindelheim talks to several of them about who they're looking for and how they're developing worker pipelines - on the latest Work in Progress: A WorkingNation Podcast, which you can find at https://lnkd.in/e-9ETj4X.

An existing teacher shortage accelerated during the pandemic, and America’s classrooms continue to feel pain. But a relatively new approach is being deployed on this problem: registered apprenticeships. Read about how it’s putting teachers in classrooms: https://lnkd.in/eDKNYFmA Are you a teacher? Tell us in the comments how you are feeling the staffing shortage and why it's happening. Here’s one explanation: “For this core profession that is so critical to our society – let alone our economy – it’s just too expensive to become a teacher,” says Maureen Tracey-Mooney, senior advisor for the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Planning, Evaluation and Policy Development. “A lot of folks are looking at the cost, they’re looking at the pay, and the math isn’t mathing.” Learn more in Victoria Lim’s report. By the way, it’s National Apprenticeship Week, and apprenticeships can be solutions beyond the teaching profession.
