Youth in Transition Soft Skills to Pay the Bills - Center for Faith-based & Neighborhood Partnerships

Youth in Transition

Soft Skills to Pay the Bills — Mastering Soft Skills for Workplace Success

Overview

"Skills to Pay the Bills: Mastering Soft Skills for Workplace Success," is a curriculum developed by ODEP focused on teaching "soft" or workforce readiness skills to youth, including youth with disabilities. Created for youth development professionals as an introduction to workplace interpersonal and professional skills, the curriculum is targeted for youth ages 14 to 21 in both in-school and out-of-school environments. The basic structure of the program is comprised of modular, hands-on, engaging activities that focus on six key skill areas: communication, enthusiasm and attitude, teamwork, networking, problem solving and critical thinking, and professionalism.

Introduction Materials

Soft Skill #1: Communication

The activities in this section will not only help participants practice and recognize how they provide information to others, but also help them consider how others may prefer to receive information. It is important to reinforce with participants that communication skills involve give and take — and they can, indeed, be learned and strengthened over time.

Soft Skill #2: Enthusiasm & Attitude

The activities in this section seek to teach participants about the importance of enthusiasm and a positive attitude in the workplace. Participants will hear strategies for turning negative thinking into positive thinking and displaying and discussing enthusiasm during an interview and on the job.

Soft Skill #3: Teamwork

The activities in this section seek to teach participants about the importance of teamwork to workplace success and the specific role each individual on a team may play. Participants will learn about positive teamwork behavior and discover how their own conduct can impact others on a team.

Soft Skill #4: Networking

The activities in this section focus on the process of networking and its relevance and importance to career development. Participants will learn about taking initiative and overcoming fear, informational interviewing, as well as potential guidelines to consider when using social networks, texting, and email for networking purposes.

Soft Skill #5: Problem Solving & Critical Thinking

The activities in this section focus on learning how to solve problems in a variety of ways in the workplace. Participants will hear about how to properly tell the difference among criticism, praise, and feedback and reacting appropriately. The section will also review strategies for making ethical decisions, solving problems on a team with others, and learning how to take into account others' perceptions when assessing actions or statements in the workplace.

Soft Skill #6: Professionalism

The activities in this section focus on each of the five individual soft skills presented in this publication (communication, enthusiasm/attitude, teamwork, networking, and problem solving/critical thinking), but in a broader framework. This is because professionalism, is not one skill but the blending and integration of a variety of skills.

Tepid job market still hurting recent college graduates

Tepid job market still hurting recent college graduates

By DIANE STAFFORD and JOHN NGIRACHU
The Kansas City Star

Nick Hintz, 27, earned bachelor's and master's degrees and has a job.

Cleaning typewriters. Part time.

Hintz is an unwilling statistic. He's one of the four out of five college graduates from 2006 to 2011 who haven't found full-time jobs on a firm career path.

In fact, just over half of those graduates have found any full-time work, according to a Rutgers University report released Thursday.

The report is certain to be unsettling to the 2012 graduates pouring off college campuses this month.

They're entering a slow job market recovery that has left behind many recent college graduates, as well as women and minorities. While other reports show that the 2012 graduates are facing the best job market since the Great Recession, the Rutgers study shows they'll be fighting a lot of pent-up competition for the openings.

Hintz, of Olathe, prepared for a career in human resources, but he has come up empty in his job search — despite having a graduate degree from the Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesota, human resource job experience from two internships and a temporary contract job, and networking with human resource groups in the Kansas City and Dallas areas.

"I'm still looking in human resources, since I have the wonderful education I think I should use," Hintz said.

Recent research finds that even those young workers who have been fortunate to land employment in their chosen fields have taken pay hits.

Starting salaries for 2009 to 2011 graduates were 10 percent smaller than pay for 2006 to 2007 graduates, according to the survey by the John J. Heldrich Center for Workforce Development at Rutgers.

"The cream of the crop of America's youth … believe the American dream of upward mobility may have stopped with them," said Cliff Zukin, a professor and co-author of the study.

More than one in four recent graduates are living with their parents to save money, the report said.

It also found that more than half of the graduates are struggling to pay off student loans that averaged $20,000. And for the 20 percent of college graduates who have gone on to enroll in graduate schools, debts are averaging $30,000.

Hintz's education debt is far steeper: $120,000.

If there's a bright note to his underemployment, the fact that he's earning so little lowers his loan repayment formula, he noted. That is small comfort, of course. The loans will still come due.

More part-time hirings

A separate survey, released this week by Gallup, said one-third of 18- to 29-year-olds were unemployed or underemployed, a measure that includes those who held part-time jobs but wanted full-time work.

The Gallup poll found that young adults were more than twice as likely as workers in older age groups to be underemployed in April.

"Employers appear to be hiring younger Americans in greater numbers on a part-time basis this year than last," the Gallup report said. "This not only hurts them temporarily, but deprives them of the experience they need to get a better job in the future."

Many young people have turned to internships to get toeholds in the work world, but the National Association of Colleges and Employers estimated that up to half of the 1.5 million internships in the United States this year are unpaid.

"We need the economy to get moving as soon as possible, because we know that graduating into a recession can lower a generation's wages for years to come," said Rory O'Sullivan, policy director at Young Invincibles, an advocacy organization for 18- to 34-year-olds.

If recent graduates of four-year colleges are hurting, so too are some young workers who have obtained associate degrees.

Marcus Hamilton, 24, who earned an associate degree in Pine Bluff, Ark., has been looking for work for two years. He was laid off from his last job, doing manual labor at polyurethane foam manufacturing company.

On Thursday, filling out yet another application at the Workforce Partnership office in Kansas City, Kan., Hamilton said it had been difficult to take care of himself and his two kids. Meanwhile, he's pinning hopes on a recent application to the Kansas City Fire Department.

Older workers hunt, too

Young workers still trying to craft careers aren't the only ones struggling despite overall private-sector employment gains.

Private industry employers have been slowly adding jobs for 19 months. A net gain of 130,000 jobs was reported last week for the month of April. Meanwhile, though, the public sector lost 15,000 jobs in the month, continuing a nearly four-year-old cutback trend.

Those government job cuts have eliminated many jobs held predominantly by women and African-Americans.

"The disproportionate share of women and African-Americans working in state and local government has translated into higher rates of job loss for both groups in these sectors," a report by the Economic Policy Institute said.

From 2007 to 2011, state and local governments shed about 765,000 jobs nationally. Women made up 70 percent and African-Americans 20 percent of those job losses, the institute said in a report last week.

Last year, according to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data, women accounted for 59.5 percent of employment in state and local government, compared to a 46.7 percent share of private-sector employment. African-Americans held 12.8 percent of state and local public-sector jobs, compared to 10.3 percent in the private sector.

Continued job cuts in those public sectors stand in stark contrast to job gains in the private sector, which bottomed out in early 2010.

Also at the Workforce Partnership office on Thursday, Greta Scroggins continued her quest to become re-employed.

The 51-year-old military veteran, who fits both the female and African-American demographic, said she has submitted more than 200 applications and been to more career fairs than she can remember.

Her last job, at the Full Employment Council in Missouri, ended when government stimulus grants ended and cuts had to be made in the agency's administrative budget.

Scroggins has a master's degree in management from Baker University and a bachelor's degree in human resources. She has been looking for a job for slightly over a year and has been interviewed numerous times on the phone and eight times face to face.

"I have been told, 'You were the number two candidate' several times," she said. "Some of them have been honest. I have a feeling about the next one. I'm gonna nail it."

White House Urban Economic Forum in Kansas City


White House Urban Economic Forum
Mayor Joe Reardon, KCK participates in White House Urban 
Economic Forum in Kansas City with panelists Mayor Sly James, 
KCMO, Marie Johns, SBA, and Bob Litan, Kauffman Foundation

Reardon Participates in Urban Economic Forum

Mayor Joe Reardon participated in a panel discussion today on urban entrepreneurship during a White House Urban Economic Forum held at the EwingReardon at Urban Economic Forum Kauffman Foundation in Kansas City, Missouri.     

 

Reardon addressed questions relating to the role of federal and local governments as it relates to helping small and minority owned businesses connect to viable resources and programs they need to be successful.

 

"If you take a look at Kansas City, Kansas, it's those small businesses that make our community work every single day. I think the challenge for cities everywhere and in this region is how we take that understanding that small business is the foundation of so much," said Reardon.

 

Under the auspices of the White House Business Council, the White House launched a multi-city series of Urban Economic Forums in conjunction with the U.S. Small Business Administration. Moderated by KCPT personality Nick Haines, Reardon was joined by panelists Mayor Sly James of Kansas City, Missouri, Marie Johns, Deputy Administrator, U.S. Small Business Administration, and the Vice President for Research and Policy at the Kauffman Foundation, Bob Litan.

 

Just moments after opening remarks from the Executive Director of the White House Business Council, Ari Matusiak, the dialogue on the role of urban entrepreneurs in revitalizing the economy didn't take long to pick up momentum and spark questions from the audience.

 

One particular question from a member of the audience centered on some of the barriers small businesses face with less than perfect credit and what kind of programs were available to help them.  

 

Marie Johns, SBA Deputy Admin."We just come out of an economic crisis where a lot of people had their credit affected. We have included for the first time in our Community Development Financial Institutions microloan intermediaries. These are excellent lenders who have a very good understanding of the community. They are often more engaged in the community than large banks. By having these mission lenders as part of our portfolio now, we are looking to them and they are making a difference in providing access to capital in situations that you just described," said Johns, SBA's Deputy Administrator.

 

Reardon added by promoting the Small Business Revolving Loan Fund offered to local businesses in Kansas City, Kansas through the Wyandotte Economic Development Council and efforts by the Board of Commission to set goals for women and minority participation in public projects. Kansas City is the only city in the state to have incorporated this initiative into their development projects.

 

"We have to get better and be more in tuned with how we work with that individual that wants' to take that chance in a neighborhood where we haven't seen that kind of investment. How do we align our resources around that individual in the same way that we're going to try and attract something big and giant to our community that's going to be successful? That's something we're still working on, says Reardon.

 

The purpose of the Urban Economic Forum is to:

  • Connect urban entrepreneurs and business owners to the local and national resources and networks they need to grow and hire
  • To shine a spotlight on the economic success stories and positive economic momentum in urban centers across the country
The first forum was held in February in New York City followed by events in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Phoenix. Future forums are also planned in the cities of Chicago, Columbus, and Detroit. The forum was live streamed on whitehouse.gov.

VA & DOL Introduce a New Training Program for Unemployed Veterans

View this message in your browser

The VOW to Hire Heroes Act of 2011 was recently passed by Congress to provide assistance for unemployed Veterans. If you are an unemployed Veteran between the ages of 35 and 60 you might qualify. If you know other Veterans that may qualify, please spread the word about this program by forwarding this email.

The Veterans Retraining Assistance Program (VRAP) was part of the recently passed legislation. The program is a Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and Department of Labor (DOL) joint effort to provide training to Veterans unable to find work.

VRAP will provide 12 months of training assistance equal to the monthly full-time payment rate under the Montgomery GI Bill-Active Duty program (currently paying $1,473 per month). Participants must be enrolled in a program approved for VA benefits that is offered by a community college or technical school. The program must lead to an Associate Degree, Non-College Degree or a Certificate.

To qualify, a Veteran must:

  • Be at least 35 but no more than 60 years old
  • Be unemployed on the day of application
  • Have an other than dishonorable discharge
  • Not be eligible for any other VA education benefit program (e.g.: the Post-9/11 GI Bill, Montgomery GI Bill, Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment Assistance)
  • Not be in receipt of VA compensation due to unemployability
  • Not be enrolled in a federal or state job training program
  • Pursue a program that leads to employment in a high demand occupation

The program is limited to 45,000 participants between July 1, 2012, and September 30, 2012, and an additional 54,000 participants from October 1, 2012, through March 31, 2014. DOL will provide employment assistance to every Veteran who participates upon completion of their program. Applications will be accepted beginning May 15, 2012.

VA will publish more details on the program as they become available at our VOW website.

Thank you for your interest and please feel free to pass this message on to another Veteran.

Sincerely,
Curtis L. Coy

  • Developing a budget and analyzing cash flow; indirect and admin cost caps; determine if you can afford to get this grant before submitting an application; collaborating with your fiscal affairs, grants managers, and leadership.
  • Lunch on your own noon - 1:20 PM.
  • Budgets continued.
  • Summarizing your request for that impossibly small summary opportunity on the standard federal cover page or, the one/two page foundation request.
  • Locate and track relevant grant opportunities from Federal, State and local government sources, private foundations and corporate giving programs.
  • Allocate and forecast proposal team work load before the RFP is released.
  • Dissecting the RFP; researching enabling legislation; understanding the "spirit and intent" of the grant program; technical assistance contacts and the need for open and honest communication.

Note:  The timing and delivery of components may flex to meet the needs of the class, but all the info will be covered.  If you don't understand some of the terms above, that's okay.  After two days with us you will - because you must!
