Workforce Readiness Opportunities
Please review the list below. If you and/or your company would be interested in getting involved in one or more of these areas, or if you would like more information, please contact the Workforce Readiness Director,
Sue Czyrny at susan_czyrny@adp.com or (716) 630-6307.
Opportunities for Company Involvement
-
Internships – There are multiple opportunities for companies to provide internship opportunities for local high school students. If interested, contact the Committee Chair listed above.
-
Career Fairs - Providing career information for students in a group setting. This gives students an opportunity to see what kinds of careers are possible and what kind of preparation each requires. It also gives companies an opportunity to begin early recruitment efforts.
-
Provide worksite tours - Allowing groups of students to tour your workplace and see, firsthand, what kind of careers are available and what the working environment is like.
-
Job Shadowing – Allowing one or more students to "shadow" an employee for a predetermined length of time (usually 1 day or less). Efforts are made to match students' interests to available industries.
Opportunities for Individuals
-
Participate in Mock Interviews - This is a one-time (or one-at-a-time) commitment to help high school students prepare to interview for positions and enter the workforce.
-
Be a speaker. School classes or clubs are often looking for someone to come speak at their meetings on a wide range of business-related topics. Assistance is available if you need help developing a topic or content for a topic. (This is also a one-time or one-at-a-time commitment.)
-
Be a mentor. Help provide encouragement and support to a motivated young person. Individual student is paired with a professional who supports them with their class work and helps familiarize them with the workplace. This is an ongoing commitment that usually involves a few hours each month.
-
Become a Workforce Readiness Committee Volunteer. The BNHRA Workforce Readiness Committee is always seeking new members to help implement our goals and programs.
We hope to hear from you as we work together to help prepare tomorrow's workforce!
