Recently, two of our STEM Ambassadors participated in the Passion for learning C.I.O careers carnival, which drew in 310 local school children. It was a fantastic experience for everyone involved, thank you to Passion for Learning for allowing us to be part of such a meaningful day.
It was great to have you there! 😊
Good skills Callum 👍
We have your teens Summer Break plans! Each day of our Civics and Careers tour is thoughtfully planned to provide an unforgettable adventure that will teach lessons about the course, individuals and the world around them. #summerbreak2024 #civicsandcareers #thisisclass #highschoolcredits #edutravelforcredit #reachahead #education #teentravel #boostyourtopsix

Did you know? Hispanic Serving Institutions, also known as “HSIs,” are critical to making postsecondary education a reality for many Hispanic students. Five City Colleges of Chicago, which include City Colleges of Chicago-Harold Washington College, City Colleges of Chicago-Harry S Truman College, City Colleges of Chicago-Malcolm X College, City Colleges of Chicago-Richard J Daley College, and City Colleges of Chicago-Wilbur Wright College, are all designated as Hispanic Serving Institutions. As HSIs, they provide important pathways for in-demand jobs, apprenticeships, internships, fellowships, mentorships, and work-based learning initiatives through public-private partnerships and have partnered with their local school districts to offer dual enrollment programs. HSIs make up 20% of higher education in the United States but enroll 2 out of 3 Latinx undergraduate students in the country! #LatinxHeritageMonth #HispanicHeritageMonth #HispanicHeritageMonth2023 #latinx #latina #latino
We are lifelong learners. The term “education” implies a structured learning environment. Grade school through high school, students are assigned to a teacher (who is also a mentor). Once your independent life starts, you can ask someone to be your mentor. Life teaches with experiences, i.e. Life Lessons. A mentor can guide you to and through some of those experiences, if you take that step to seek mentorship for yourself. Just as people come in all forms and fashions, so do mentors. “Seek and ye shall find…” 😎
We are excited to celebrate #NationalMentorshipMonth! Throughout our lives, we're surrounded by people who are excited to see us grow and empower us to reach our full potential through guidance, support, and inspiration - our mentors. And we're thankful for the advice and wisdom passed down from generation to generation, allowing us to continue to innovate and reach toward more opportunities with every passing year. What does mentorship mean to you? UAB Career Center, Brandon Wright, Ph.D.
It was an absolute honor (not to mention, really fun) to be able to share a bit of my journey with the student athletes of MINUTEMAN REGIONAL VOCATIONAL TECHNICAL SCHOOL DISTRICT last week. I wanted them to know that all of the same behaviors and character traits that make them successful on the field today is what will set them up for success in their careers after sports. 1. Be present. - Are you the first one in and the last one out of the gym/field? 2. Be coachable. - How do you handle criticism/feedback from your coaches? 3. Attention to detail. - Are you doing the "little things" right? 4. Cadence. - Are you "taking plays off", or do you have a sense of urgency? 5. Sportsmanship. - What would your teammates and competitors say about you?
Last week, I had the pleasure of visiting MINUTEMAN REGIONAL VOCATIONAL TECHNICAL SCHOOL DISTRICT with several of my colleagues from Cambridge Mobile Telematics. Our mission was to engage with the students, shedding light on the perils of distracted driving while also showcasing the myriad career opportunities available in the STEM field. It's important to note that Minuteman stands as one of the premier technical vocational high schools in all of New England. What made this presentation truly exceptional was the fact that our audience consisted entirely of student-athletes. To ensure a strong connection, I brought along two individuals who could readily relate to these youngsters. First, there was Joseph Jamiel, a four-year starter and Division-I wide receiver for Sacred Heart University in Connecticut, as well as a dedicated high school football and lacrosse coach. Accompanying him was Jake Kulevich, who not only served as captain of Colgate University's hockey team but also enjoyed a professional career with both the Edmonton Oilers and the Winnipeg Jets. Furthermore, given Minuteman's co-op program, it seemed fitting to have Lorenzo Powers address the students, sharing valuable insights about our internship program and the advantages it offers. Lisa-Marie Pascuccio delivered a presentation that articulated the core mission of CMT and enlightened the students about the various tech-adjacent career opportunities within a technology company.

Ok... I am back and making yet another pitch for the Emerson National Hunger Fellowship and Zero Hunger Internship Programs! There's still time to apply: The application for the 31st class of Emerson Fellows closes on Friday January 12; and the application for the 7th class of Zero Hunger Interns closes on Saturday, January 13. I'd like to thank Emily Irsik for coordinating with me to host the first-ever joint Emerson / ZHI virtual information session. If you are interested in applying to either program (or both) I encourage you to watch the video. I'd also like to thank the potential applicants who joined us during the session. You all asked some really great questions and we are thankful that you are sincerely interested in eradicating hunger, poverty, and inequality. Alums, fellows, host org supervisors, etc. you all know what to do... please share this with your networks! 😀 Thank you!!!
Great to see our Beginner’s Guide to the Nuclear Industry being used to encourage youth into STEM careers 😄
