MontcoWorks NOW

MontcoWorks NOW participants have been putting in the work to meet their career goals this Spring. Read all about the awesome work experiences, trainings and activities that our participants have been attending in the MCIU Career Connections newsletter.

On May 15th, the MontcoWorks NOW cohort who participated in the Real World Leaders training and radio show recording received an exclusive invite and attended the Real World Leaders CEO Reunion at Yards Brewing in Philadelphia. Participants networked with dozens of Philadelphia area CEO’s and business leaders in person and made valuable connections in their fields of interest, including the Associate Vice President of Member Experience for Jefferson Health Plans that the participants interviewed on the radio show in April. In addition, participants were able to share the program’s impact on camera and speak to their individual experiences. MontcoWorks NOW will continue to participate in the Real World Leaders program as the next cohort begins in June. Thanks to Kat K. and Real World Leaders for an awesome experience!

Our MontcoWorks NOW participants have been busy lately. We have had seven participants enroll in and successfully complete training opportunities and thirteen participants start a paid work experience. Read about that and more in our February edition of the MCIU Career Connections newsletter. https://lnkd.in/eUH6u_Vy #careerreadiness

“Thinking about a career in health care, education, energy, IT, or another industry? Still trying to figure out just what you want to do with your life? We’re fueling a @RoadtripNation initiative to show you exciting job opportunities in Southeast Pennsylvania. Meet inspiring people who’ve found inspiring careers in and around Philadelphia. Roadtrip Nation will work with participants to make sure this opportunity is accessible, including covering all travel and related costs, providing a generous stipend for personal expenses, and connecting them with six months of free personalized career coaching with InsideTrack after the experience. The three people selected won’t be the only ones who benefit. The experience will be filmed and turned into educational career exploration content so that others can see just how many opportunities Philadelphia and the surrounding regions have to offer. Please share this information with anyone who could benefit from this experience. Applicants can apply at the following link by October 27, 2023: rtn.is/PennApp”

The MontcoWorks NOW program provides scholarship opportunities for youth who are looking to attend occupational skills training programs that lead to recognized postsecondary credentials and align with in-demand industry sectors or occupations in the local area. We recently had three MWN participants complete their training programs and earn certifications for their intended career fields. Check out the October MCIU Career Connections newsletter to learn more and read about some of our program highlights for August, September and October. We hope you are inspired by all of the hard work these youth do everyday as they prepare to enter the workforce. #IU23in23 https://lnkd.in/eNHd-DVX
