I just have 1️⃣ thing to say to the #HigherEd Institutions that are leaning in on INDUSTRY-LED CAREER EXPLORATION for the #MilAffiliatedStudents they serve: THANK YOU! 🙏🏽 We've worked hard to offer at-scale engagement that is EASY, CASUAL, VIRTUAL (& free for schools). Collaborative sharing by our Ed partners has been key to encouraging student attendance. For the April 11 50strong EmployerConnect: ⏩ 55% of the ~700 registered identified themselves as **currently-enrolled students or recent grads**. And here are the Top 10 Schools that drove this. We thank their leaders for their commitment to collaboration & strong employment outcomes. Note: this is based on affiliations as stated by each registered guest as a % of total mil-affiliated students (so fair for smaller schools). #VeteranEmployment includes #StudentVeterans. Are you affiliated with one of these schools?!?

Dear Roads Australia - John (Jan) Smolders AM and I hope this augments your post. Construction Project Schedules are the most significant leverage point for improving social and economic outcomes for the industry such as improving family-friendliness and reducing the "lost last job" rate (highest of all industries). We count 10 dysfunctions caused by compressed schedules. However, owners do not have a method for determining a Sustainably responsible (Social, Economic and Enviromental) construction timeline. Of course, contractors do not build one project at a time, so portfolio management is the largest risk factor - see the chaos represented by multiple project resource demand curves (workers, managers, cash, equipment, etc) below in the comments. More will be provided later this year when our paper is presented at an international conference. As a further step, we would like you to take our 20-question survey. It is anonymous. We will forward a summary each month to participants. Please consider engaging.

At 13 I wanted to be famous. My favourite band at the time was The Smiths, so I was thinking I could be someone like Morrissey...or maybe a Formula One driver? Didn't quite turn out that way...   National Careers Week this week shines a spotlight on future career paths. And in our house that is coinciding with my son's milestone of choosing "Options" - what subjects to take at GCSE level.    I can't help but think though, that the pressure on students to decide their lifelong professions at a young age can be overwhelming for some. "These subjects will determine the course of your life", he's told. Yikes. In my opinion, expecting 13-year-olds to have a clear vision of their future careers is unrealistic. Some indeed do, but I suspect the vast majority are really not sure what they want to do tomorrow, let alone what career they would like to do when they leave education! While academic achievements are important, it's equally essential to focus on developing "soft skills" like problem-solving, leadership, teamwork, communication, and time management. These skills are invaluable in the workplace and often overlooked in traditional education systems. When selecting GCSE subjects, students should consider not only the academic aspect but also how each subject can contribute to their overall skill set. Additionally, gaining work experience, even through Saturday jobs or summer holiday positions, can be challenging for younger individuals these days (and at the risk of sounding old!) these opportunities are not there so much any more. Therefore, cultivating soft skills early on becomes a valuable asset in their future career pursuits. The Duke of Edinburgh award is a fantastic way for young people to develop soft skills. So whether you're a young teen selecting your options or preparing to enter the job market, my advice for Careers Week is simple: prioritise the development of your soft skills. They'll be your strongest assets as you embark on your career journey.  In the words of the legend that is Morrissey: "You'll be looking for a job and then you'll find a job" (but without the bit about being miserable, obvs).   #NationalCareersWeek #SoftSkills #CareerExploration #NCW2024
