Career services have traditionally focused on assisting individuals during moments of severe economic hardship, particularly when they are unemployed and in need of urgent intervention. While this model has proven effective in addressing immediate needs such as job placement, housing, and food security, it has largely neglected a significant portion of the workforce:?the underemployed.?These individuals are working but are not earning enough to cover their basic needs. As the cost of living rises and wage growth stagnates, more individuals find themselves in this situation, struggling to make ends meet despite holding one or more jobs. According to?Washington State's updated workforce projections, by 2031, 72% of jobs will require some form of postsecondary credential, up from 70% in 2023. To meet these growing demands, programs targeting non-traditional students and working adults are crucial. The Washington Student Achievement Council (WSAC) and the State Board for Community and Technical Colleges have emphasized the need to re-engage adult learners and help them earn stackable credentials, addressing critical shortages in healthcare, STEM, and other key sectors. We can do this together, while closing equity gaps. #Career Path Services #Equus Workforce Solutions #CareerTeamCareerTeam #TRAC Associates

SEG's very own Penny Swain , Director of Education Talent Solutions, speaks to Schools Week about the crucial need to change the narrative on the teaching profession. Penny highlights the opportunity to change the conversation, perception and narrative about our profession by thinking clearly about the benefits of a career in schools: purpose, subject passion, development and career opportunities. If we do that, we can get people to ask themselves a different, more positive question: “who wouldn’t want to work in education?" With declining retention across all sectors, Best Practice Network , Teaching Personnel and Inspire ATA are actively supporting career switchers from other industries to join education through apprenticeship routes. ??
