An Iraqi Army instructor said leading training will help soldiers retain information and bring skills back to their units.

Careers in natural resources initiative - Lisa Eadens, Colorado Alliance for ...rshimoda2014
There is great concern over who will protect, maintain and enhance our natural resources in the future. Currently, outdoor play time for kids is minimal, especially for children living in urban areas, while kids’ average “screen time” exceeds 40 hours a week. By some accounts, as many as 50% of state and federal land managers are retirement-eligible within the next five years. However, because a generation or more of children has not had a close and ongoing relationship with the outdoors, state and federal natural resource agencies are having difficulty recruiting employees who have the necessary skills, experience, education, and emotional connection to the outdoors to take over the management of public lands. Simultaneously, agencies not only need skilled candidates, they need candidates that represent the changing demographics of the state.
The Careers in Natural Resources Initiative aims to help youth make the leap from participation in an outdoor program to a sustainable career through three strategies that address different audiences along a spectrum from awareness to action.
Support Career Exploration – Most youth lack understanding of career opportunities in natural resources. To promote these opportunities and foster interest in natural resource careers, partners participated in 8th grade career fairs throughout the region and are planning a Careers in Natural Resource Experience this spring.
Develop Online Jobs Portal – Working with our partners, an online web portal that provides a single springboard to help organize and access needed information, job postings, and resources around natural resource careers was launched in the fall of 2013.
Create Career Guide – Publication of a Guide to Natural Resources Career Paths aimed at entry-level candidates is underway. The Guide will provide step-by-step assistance for youth interested in natural resource careers regarding how to apply and navigate state and federal job listings and application processes.

The document proposes a two-stage pilot program called "The Teen Agri-ADD-Venture Program" to rehabilitate at-risk teens through urban agriculture. Stage 1 involves a 6-month inpatient program focusing on rehabilitation through activities like gardening. Stage 2 transitions teens back into their community, where they will help develop a new urban agricultural area and receive continued support for 12 months. The goal is to help teens address issues leading to substance abuse and criminal behavior by providing alternatives and teaching life skills through hands-on experience in urban agriculture. The program aims to partner with organizations like Denver Urban Gardens and Douglas County Youth Initiative to help launch the new initiative.
The document summarizes a nonprofit organization called Icarus-E that provides education, advocacy, and support services to families in the Englewood community of Chicago. Icarus-E aims to combat lack of access to these services for inner-city residents affected by poverty, homelessness, and unstable family situations. As a new organization located in Englewood, Icarus-E faces competition from other nonprofits and government groups for funding opportunities but believes its long history serving the community gives it an advantage.
The document discusses issues facing youth in high-risk neighborhoods including lack of access to extracurricular programs and activities due to cost and transportation barriers. It advocates for increased funding for a variety of programming in the Malvern and Kingston-Galloway areas provided by organizations like Play It Smart, East Metro Youth Services, Canadian Tire Jumpstart, and Youth Link to support youth ages 7-13 with academic support, activities, transportation, and other services. Interviews were conducted with Play It Smart and East Metro Youth Services to learn about their programs and how to become involved as mentors.

Rural America faces significant economic challenges, with many counties experiencing high poverty, low education levels, and economic distress. Distressed rural counties, as defined by an index that considers unemployment, income, and poverty rates, are concentrated in the Delta, Cotton Belt, Appalachia, Texas border, and Native American reservations. While overall rural high school graduation rates are comparable to urban areas, adult rural populations often have lower levels of education due to youth out-migration. These economic realities highlight the need for rural communities to develop strategies to improve economic conditions and retain local talent, such as through increased entrepreneurial activity.

The committee identified several issues with the current education system in the Cayman Islands and how it impacts youth employment. Some of the key issues included a lack of parental involvement, low academic expectations, and inadequate vocational training opportunities. If these issues are not addressed, some of the possible negative outcomes mentioned were an increase in juvenile crime, continued dependence on foreign labor, and higher rates of poverty. The committee emphasized the importance of improving education standards and increasing vocational training to better prepare Caymanian youth for the job market and make them less reliant on foreign workers.

2. Sonoma County has an acute problem regarding the number of Hispanic students
who do not complete high school; the education, business, and Hispanic
communities, working alone, have not been able to resolve the problem.
• In a recent survey, 66% of major Sonoma County businesses had difficulty
finding qualified job applicants.
• The current education system does not fully equip students with necessary
real world job skills.
• Availability of career technical education courses offered in public schools is
declining. Currently, only 31% of California high school students possess
some limited form of career training by graduation.
These conditions pose great challenges to the community-at-large because Hispanics
are its fastest growing sector. Moody’s Economy.com baseline forecast projects that
growth in the Hispanic population will be the main driver behind the county’s growth.
Hispanics accounted for about 22% of the county’s population in 2006; this share is
expected to rise to just shy of 40% by 2030. By 2050, Hispanics will be in the majority.
Success of the Sonoma County workforce of the near future will depend on the active
productive participation of today’s Hispanic youth.
However, as the County of Sonoma’s Strategic Plan points out, “our Hispanic youth
population is disproportionately affected by challenges including economic pressure
(including poverty), gang activity, and low educational achievement (including high
rates of school dropout.” Those who are attending school suffer from poor attendance,
disciplinary and or academic problems, making graduation improbable. Others are
court-involved, and regularly incarcerated. Hispanic youth graduation rate is 64%
compared to the overall Sonoma County graduation rate of 78%. We believe that the
emerging countywide effort to address climate change and oil dependence will
simultaneously create well-paid green-collar jobs for underserved youth and their
families, thereby creating safer streets and healthier communities. NBIGT-YGJS is
committed to prepare a skilled workforce to accomplish our collective goals.
Proposed Program: Youth Green Jobs Sonoma is a green trade and or vocational
“learn by doing” flagship program of NBIGT for under-served, in crisis/at-risk youth and
young adults. Our Academia Quinto-Sol/Fifth Sun Academy for Young Visionaries,
starting in summer of 2009, is an 8-week summer bridge program for 40-60 youth ages
16-18 years old. The YGJS curriculum is designed to integrate those core subjects with real
life tools and utilize hands-on participation in solutions and ideas. Many professionals,
organizations and businesses are volunteering to provide exposure and training to the
program participants, opening avenues to possible future employment. NBIGT-Youth Green
Jobs curriculum will include:
• Life-skills training, and a series of comprehensive math and reading skills
assessments to determine the students academic needs to move them towards a
GED (high school diploma equivalent), thereby enabling them to pursue careers in
green industries or enroll in a community college.
• Job readiness training, hands-on core classes focused on Energy Efficiency
Technology, Alternative Energy Applications, and Environmental Awareness.
• Instruction on how to install efficiency hardware and renewable technology in
residences in low-income neighborhoods.
3. • Training and work, youth will participate in their community as Energy Educators to
help people conserve energy and learn of new alternative energy resources such as
solar & wind power.
• Workforce Readiness Pre-Certification; mentoring, tutoring and counseling.
