The Empower Group’s Post

In early-stage startups, every small win counts! Building something great has never been easy, and what keeps me moving is the impact it has on someone else's life. A good job creates a powerful ripple effect that impacts all aspects of life for the better (life expectancy, education, healthcare, and overall well-being...). Thank you, Community Well, for trusting us and hiring one of our VAs. Friends, do you know any entrepreneurs or small businesses that could benefit from our services? DM me or comment below. Thank you. #virtualassistant #elevate #elevatecotedivoire

When you're dealing with the unique challenge of hiring the right community managers for your brand right from the start, remember to prioritize soft skills like problem-solving, connecting people, and a real passion for building communities. Some of the best community builders I've had the pleasure of working with came from unexpected backgrounds like hospitality, sales, or nonprofits. So, look for candidates who really shine in these areas, rather than being overly swayed by flashy resumes or specific platform expertise. #CommunityBuilding #HiringTips

It's 10:03pm here in NJ (when I'm writing this). I finally have a moment to be, and I jump right on my phone and get to work! I find myself applying for jobs, preparing for interviews, and rewriting my resume to fit a job posting, constantly. I want to work, badly. Yes, I need money and omg do I need benefits. But almost moreso, I want to use what I've got. I started working 26 years ago y'all! Damn (in my Kevin Hart voice). I started as a cashier at a grocery store on Long Island and now just finished a research project for an environmental justice organization. I have learned so much in my 2 decades and a half of work experience. I want to use what I've got. After 26 years, I have: ✊🏽The ability to lead and motivate teams effectively (without wasting time in meetings that could have been emails or Slack messages) which I've shown while holding my team down at Seven Counties Services. I grew into a leader in that position, making staffing decisions, serving as an advocate for my team in interdepartmental meetings, and ensuring an even playing field where staff didn't need to compete or undermine each other. ✊🏽Stellar communication skills to convey goals and expectations clearly. I was happy to be the main point of contact for over 100 clients at Family Service League - Long Island. I was responsible for creating and keeping a rapport with clients from 2 separate teams. Once I was promoted, in less than 4 months, I ensured the person who reported to me, was as clear and concise and able to keep clients needs met and our lines clear. ✊🏽Analytical thinking to identify and address operational issues. I was able to flex this muscle at The Chisholm Legacy Project: A Resource Hub for Black Frontline Climate Justice Leadership. I created the onboarding process for staff and contractors who joined the team, during my tenure. I recognized the need for a grounding in not only Environmental Justice but also the importance of providing proper support to new employees so they don't run away! There's tons more, and I want to find an organization that needs me, someone who has the experience but also the willingness to learn even more. So yeah, I am #opentowork

Thank you to Brandon T. Taylor, D.Mgt, for coordinating with Directors in (CPRS) District 7 for a Director's Zoom on "Developing a Comprehensive Career Development Framework for California’s Parks and Recreation Profession." Background California’s park and recreation profession is facing a challenge in recruiting qualified individuals, from entry-level to advanced leadership positions. According to the Cambridge Dictionary (2023), well-qualified individuals have "appropriate experience or formal qualifications." Due to the strong US job market, park and recreation agencies have had to compete with other employers to attract and retain employees, even during the COVID-19 pandemic. (National Recreation and Park Association, 2023). Objectives 1. To identify California's parks and recreation profession's current recruitment, hiring, and career development constraints. 2. To develop a comprehensive Career Pathway and Development Framework for California’s parks and recreation profession. Research Themes  Committee Members are encouraged to explore the Career Development themes, including:  ⮚ Recruitment: Explore the creation of clear and progressive career pathways within  the field. Including strategies to promote diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging  (DEIB) within California’s parks and recreation workforce.  ⮚ Professional Development: identify innovative training methodologies and programs that facilitate the necessary skills to enhance hirerability and deliver high-quality services. ⮚ Collaboration: Explore collaborative approaches that involve community partners in shaping the development of the parks and recreation workforce. Expected Outcomes  A comprehensive Career Development framework for California’s parks and recreation profession.  ⮚ Develop a competency framework: outline the knowledge, skills, and abilities required for different roles within parks and recreation organizations.   ⮚ Create a recruitment strategy: to identify future professionals, including  underrepresented populations, better reflecting the state's diversity.  ⮚ Develop education and training: programs that align with the profession's competency framework and meet the needs of existing and future workers. Significance  This study aims to create a framework for Career Development and employment in California's parks and recreation profession. It will address challenges and barriers to improving diversity, retention, and expansion while contributing to the literature on Career Development in this field.
