? Had a great time at Making Waves Academy in Richmond, CA, speaking with 9th-12th graders about their future academic and career goals during the 2024 Fall Career Fair! ?? Sabrina Raphael, MBA, PMP, discussed topics that included: ?? How to land a first job ?? Managing work and college simultaneously ?? Breaking into industries like fashion, game design, and more Advice and actionable next steps with students who are beginning to think about their futures and career paths. It's rewarding to work with such a range of individuals, from junior high students to mid-career professionals. ???Mentorship has proven benefits: Students who meet regularly with their mentors are 52% less likely to skip a day of school and 37% less likely to skip a class. Moreover, 58% of young people say their mentor has supported their mental health, and mentored youth are 130% more likely to hold leadership positions. Let’s continue empowering the next generation! #CareerFair2024 #MentorshipMatters #FutureLeader #NeverTooLate #CareerDevelopment #CollegeAndCareer #CommunityImpact #GivingBack

The quality of life for a CEO/Business Owner is often influenced by a balance between professional success and personal well-being. #worklifebalance

It's always interesting to speak to the next generation and engage them in a discussion about the wonderful world of Construction! While my main goal at these events is to hopefully find someone to join our team, I do my best to talk about the construction industry as a whole, highlighting the diversity within, the different trades and the variety of opportunities available. At this particular event, parents were guiding their kids through the area, some walking past construction related stations, and commenting "that's construction, keep walking". When I volunteered at another event with even younger minds, it was somewhat unnerving to hear the majority of children proclaiming they want to be YouTube influencers when they grow up. Talking to these middle school and high school students, they are constantly told that in order to have a good job with actual living wages, you need to go to a good college. If you do that, sure you will have student debt, but you will also have a good salary. These students have acquired a narrow view and perhaps some misconceptions about Construction. Now, I am in now way saying that college isn't good or in some cases necessary, especially as the majority of companies require a 4 year degree. What I am saying is that not everyone is ready for college, or want to go to college for whatever reason. So my thought would be, instead of pushing kids to go to college, teach them that there are other options, there are trade schools and other opportunities too. There are so many programs that high-schoolers can become educated in a trade during their HS career, earning credits and if desired, can graduate with a degree as well as a license and maybe even a job offer. Working in construction as a GC, we have a unique view of the different industries. Plumbers, Electricians, HVAC, Misc Metals and my favorite... Masonry -- all have need. These are not dying industries, these are industries that are alive and well and will forever be, but don't garner the interest of the young. And for those who know, being in the C-suite isn't the only career where you can make a 6-figure salary and have a vacation home. (--That's not me... I'm just saying) All that said, Construction is so much more than wearing boots, a safety vest and a hardhat. It takes management, accountants, human resources, public relations, IT, and a myriad of others. It takes the whole team with knowledge of the industry to run efficiently. Lets encourage the Youts (said in Joe Pesci's thick Jersey accent) the benefits and diversity of our industry!

You're not going to want to miss our September Career Fair at Vancouver Island University! Employers and recruiters - we have just opened up employer table registration for our next large-scale Vancouver Island University Career Fair, taking place on September 13, 2024! This event takes place at the start of the new school year, when many students will be looking for employment, career, internship, and volunteer opportunities. This will be a great opportunity to promote any employment or internship opportunities with your organization to new students or soon to be graduating students looking for their career post academia. Our previous career fair in September 2023 was a great success, drawing in over 650 VIU students and alumni from various programs during a 4-hour period. This event provided an excellent platform for over 60 different employers to connect with a diverse and talented pool of candidates. The fair not only offered meaningful networking opportunities but also received an employer satisfaction rating of 87%. In a post-event survey, 31 respondents (half of the employers that were in attendance) anticipated to hire 40-68+ students as a result of this event. To ensure that our department is able to continue organizing events of this magnitude, and to be able to continue providing the best level of career services that we can to VIU students and our employer partners, we will be charging?$100+fees/table?for this upcoming career fair. In addition to being open to VIU students and alumni from all programs, members of the general public will have access to attend, to ensure that our employer partners have the opportunity to connect with as many potential candidates as possible, and that your organizations are more than satisfied with the success of this event. We only have 75 employer tables available for this 3-hour event, and I am anticipating these spots to fill-up quickly (we have already thirteen tables sell since email invites were sent), so please let me know if your organization is interested in participating and I will send you an Eventbrite link! (I am also organizing several other events in the next two months which will allow employers seeking to connect with specific student groups about internship and volunteer opportunities to do so - please let me know if you would be interested in any such event as well!)

Why is it in K12 that we only truly know the path to college from high school? That we can easily chart a course for a young person to seamlessly step off of a high school campus and on to a college campus, but we expect that a young person who wants a future after high that does not initially include a 4-year degree, to that young person, who happens to be the majority of high school grads, to that person we say, here’s your diploma, go figure it out. Yes there is the occasional career fair and yes there are some CTE programs that sort of link high school and career but for majority of high school students who don’t want to go to college, can’t afford college or who are only going because they think they are supposed to we mostly say - good luck.

Yes. Yes. I have become slightly obsessed with the NFL post Taylor & Kelce (but I am not the only one). However, working in Indian Sport for the last 15 years (Yes, and do not age me!) has exposed me to the Business side of the NFL. Sports Newsletters and American Websites have provided more and a lot more insight about the NFL - and it has been a fascinating learning experience that has been so awe inspiring. I want to know more and I want to see more because they are doing it so so well. This is just one of the examples of what they are getting right - building a platform to give their athletes a future to look forward to with dignity and respect. The professional athlete brings a lot to the boardroom table! What else could you expect from a Human Being who chases one goal constantly for years! They have built themselves to be focused, disciplined and so so resilient and they would be the perfect team player! Spaces for this are so essential for the Indian Athlete as well and I wish we could find a way to give them more than a 'coaches' job, or the 'Railways posting'. So much to learn and so much to think about what we can do and should be doing. Sport is collaborative and competitive - which is why it makes it so easy to want to learn from each other. (Also, welcome to the Chief's Kingdom. :))
