The deadline is Friday, March 22 for the E&ES Request for Quotes to provide summer employment for Chicago youth. Learn more here -https://lnkd.in/guutBYBs Chicago Housing Authority has provided summer employment programming for more than 1,000 youth each summer since 2009. The Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP) is a part of the Mayor’s One Summer Chicago initiative, which brings together government institutions, community-based organizations, and companies to offer over 30,000 employment and internship opportunities to youth and young adults ages. CHA’s SYEP program is delivered in collaboration with E&ES’ FamilyWorks program, who is responsible for being the connection between SYEP youth, the worksite and CHA. SYEP is a six-week program operating June thru August, offering meaningful, paid work and skill development for youth ages 16 – 24. Participants earn $15.80/hour for up to 120 hours, yet the benefits of SYEP extend beyond earned wages. SYEP provides early exposure to career and education pathways, as well as opportunities that we believe have a positive, life-long impact on participants including: • Better future employment prospects and increased earnings later in life • Transitioning into the labor market while gaining valuable 21st century skills and networks to improve labor market prospects • Developing the building-blocks they need to get to their next job and launch their career through meaningful, paid summer employment. • Stemming summer learning loss with enrichment activities and literacy-rich programs • Encouraging learning and exploration in a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment • Strengthening social skills that will help them interact positively with others Apply here -https://lnkd.in/guutBYBs #employment #RFQ #Chicago #ChicagoYouth

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.

Apprenticeship as a career development strategy is getting a lot of attention right now. Here is my own story. Even though I have a BA degree, everything in each career I have had in the last 45 years has been a direct result of some form of on-the-job training. It’s not how long you have been on the job the makes you a good candidate. Or the letters next to your name. Those things are important. However, do you have the skills to learn how to do the tasks before you? Can you get along with your co-workers? Are you willing to try new things and work hard? These qualities along with mentors who believe in you are priceless.
Once Upon A Time…I was an Apprentice

I can’t wait to read the book this article highlights #CLASSDISMISSED which highlights how the skills gained through unpaid labor are not accounted for like paid opportunities. “…’Not everything that can be counted counts and not everything that counts can be counted.’ This sums up the way work factors into students’ lives. Not all work is paid. Not all work is counted. That, again, is the problem. We need to count it, or at least account for it. …the tasks lower-income students took on were neither simple nor quick; in fact, many required skillsets that went well beyond typical, student, entry-level positions. Sometimes they even mapped on to a student’s career interests. Yet the unpaid labor that lower-income students do on behalf of their family all too often goes uncounted and, consequently, is undervalued. This dual effect undermines mobility.” Many of the skills I use in my current job like managing a budget, problem solving, strategic thinking, effective communication and conflict resolution all were skills I gained and practiced through the various roles I absorbed being a first-gen, eldest daughter of immigrants. I grew up thinking it was normal to be a 10 year old calling the phone company to dispute charges on our phone bill or to be the person who handles online bill pay and online banking for your family. Though as a child I never questioned these tasks as it felt natural for me to lend a helping hand, now I can only look back with gratitude for how unknowingly these tasks were adding value to my experience.
We pay too little attention to how work shapes undergraduate life, especially unpaid labor. Let's change that. I share a bit of #CLASSDISMISSED in Teen Vogue. https://lnkd.in/ekepV3SJ

Summer gigs as camp counselors, ice cream scoopers, cashiers, pencil-pushers (I myself spent one delightfully air-conditioned but very boring summer as an aide in a local office) are a classic part of American youth. But for decades, especially after the Great Recession, teen jobs had been on the decline. That all changed when the frenzied labor market of 2021 meant that many businesses were scrambling to find workers---even inexperienced high schoolers---to fill openings. Demand for summer workers has stayed high, and teens are heeding the call: Earlier this year, about 38 percent of teenagers were working or looking for work. That's the highest rate since the summer of 2009. The opportunities are not always distributed equally: White teens tend to see higher rates of employment, even as their Black and Hispanic peers have also been looking for work. And general demand for corporate summer internships is flagging. Still, one economist told me, the recent surge in teens working is evidence of his riff on the "Field of Dreams" principle: “Raise the wages; they will come.” I wrote about the new teen job for The Atlantic:
