Akhila Satish became fascinated by science at an early age. When she looked for a way to use her love of science and information to make an impact, she set her sights on the technology space. Akhila is the CEO of Meseekna, a science-first simulation technology company that helps organizations measure and optimize potential to improve effective promotion, placement and hiring. Akhila is an expert in the science behind decision-making. As a director, she brings a highly collaborative and solutions-oriented approach to governance and is immensely valuable to boards looking to accelerate growth, scale, and product-market fit. Akhila is also the executive director of The Science Runway, a non-profit dedicated to inspiring girls to join the life sciences. Under her leadership, The Science Runway has grown from an idea at a roundtable discussion to a successful arm of the Center For Healthcare Innovation (CHI). Akhila's unique background spans venture capital, SaaS, and science, and she holds degrees in neuroscience, biotechnology, and business. Her research has been published in scientific journals Nature and Human Genomics and her expertise on metacognition, science, and talent management has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, Entrepreneur Magazine, CNBC, Fortune, and Business Insider. Why is Meseekna's work so important? Using brain-science technological simulations, Meseekna evaluates hidden areas of bias in workplace assessments, hiring or training processes. If similar candidates arrive with competing credentials and qualifications, why does one succeed while the other does not? Meseekna's simulations seek out answers in order to improve the hiring and training process, ensuring that qualified candidates are much more likely to thrive in their new roles! Meseekna also helps organizations evaluate management teams and place trainees properly according to how- not what- they think. By understanding complex and nuanced brain science, an organization can use Meseekna to place new people in strong roles within the company or make changes to current structures that aren't working. And if an individual needs help to develop in their role, Meseekna has training modules to support them as they expand fully into their role, finding satisfaction and excitement in their work.  How can we begin to assess our own teams? Akhila often discusses VUCAD in her work - which stands for volatility, uncertainty, complexity, ambiguity and delayed feedback. Originally developed for the US Army, VUCA (together with the addition of delayed feedback) is a way of understanding a person or organization's responses to stressors.  In her own workplace, Akhila notices that she can control some elements of VUCAD, creating a happier and more stable work environment for her team. For example, she can avoid the stress that comes with delayed feedback, telling her team when she will deliver feedback on something so that they know what to expect. She seeks to fully understand each team member's top VUCAD element in order to place and support them properly, avoiding issues and setting them up for success.  Akhila Satish is passionate about using brain science to create a better world. She is often the first call for founders struggling to put out fires, from interpersonal team dynamics to negotiating customer contracts. Quotes “I started thinking about how I could have the most impact…and the place where science had impact, and where I thought I could contribute greatly was in the technology space.” “Impact investing is focused on companies that could provide a societal good and a financial return. My firm was looking at companies that were both socially conscious and profitable.” “I spend a lot of my day translating between science, technology and sales.” “We love to see incremental and lasting change for organizations that we work with. We want to do simulations…and we form a partnership for lasting change.” “A lot of our clients are proactive. They're looking for something different! Companies that seek us out are looking at their data and employee landscape and it's giving them a piece of the puzzle but they're missing something. They have candidates coming to them with identical resumes, identical aptitude tests, relatively similar psychometric profiles. One is succeeding and one is not succeeding as well. They're looking for that X factor of metacognition. These are HR leaders who are very thoughtful. They want both candidates to come in and thrive within the organization.” “These are HR leaders who are thinking through issues around diversity. They see biases that are creeping into their process. These are typically things that metacognition and a bias reassessment and simulation can help with. These are the leaders who come to us typically!” “We're not interested in what they're thinking, we're interested in how they're thinking. It's context free. The same simulation can apply from the military to a healthcare organization to a bank. We can run the same simulation, but certain measurements may be more important.” “One of the things I love about being a CEO is the ability to work with people, and see them grow over time.” Links mentioned in this episode: Visit Akhila Satish's website: www.akhilasatish.com  Visit the website for Meseekna: https://www.meseekna.com/  Get Meseekna's Stress Management Guide: https://www.meseekna.com/how-to-manage-stress  Get Meseekna's Decision Readiness Guide: https://www.meseekna.com/decision-ready-guide  Check out the website for The Science Runway, where Akhila is the Executive Director: https://www.thesciencerunway.org/  Gain a deeper understanding of VUCA and get real-life examples from Harvard Business Review: https://hbr.org/2014/01/what-vuca-really-means-for-you  Connect with Akhila Satish on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/akhilasatish/

President and CEO of the Construction Education Foundation of Georgia (CEFGA) Scott Shelar is in the studio for today's Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio episode. Joined by co-hosts Carol Morgan and Todd Schnick, the group discusses the organization and its shift to social media in 2020 due to the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic, as well as the programs it offers to inform people about careers in construction and skilled trades. While not an Atlanta native, Shelar moved to the city back in 1998 to work on the Paralympic Games. After three years, he decided to pass up on the opportunity to move to Sydney, Australia for the 2000 Paralympic Games and instead chose to put down roots in Atlanta. Construction comes naturally to Shelar as his own grandfather was a residential developer in Florida. He started his career working with Associated General Contractors of Georgia (AGC) where he first recognized the need for skilled workers in construction. Fascinated by this shortage, he joined an opportunity to lead CEFGA where he has been working for 22 years. The Construction Education Foundation of Georgia (CEFGA) is an organization dedicated to placing people of all ages, backgrounds and genders into work in the construction industry, specifically those seeking to start their careers with entry-level jobs. While the construction industry is incredibly diverse, CEFGA focuses primarily on skill trades and helping people get into careers within the electrical, mechanical, carpentry, plumbing and masonry industries. CEFGA also helps employ people into careers in development, commercial, residential and general contracting. CEFGA understands that some people have a hard time finding good jobs they truly enjoy. That is why Shelar and the professionals within the organization believe more people should consider careers in construction and skilled trades. Through several of its programs, including Construction Ready, CEFGA can train and place someone in a job in as little as 20 days! CEFGA is proud of the programs it offers to help bring skilled workers to the construction industry. In partnership with the Arthur M Blank Family Foundation, the Construction Ready Program is an entry-level training program that trains residents in just 20 days while also giving them eight industry-recognized credentials and soft skills necessary for the job. The program played a big role in the construction of Mercedes Benz Stadium and has placed over 1,100 metro Atlanteans into construction-related jobs since 2014. The program recently received a grant that allows it to expand its services statewide to Savannah, Augusta and Athens. The Construction Ready program works with CW Matthews, Turner Construction and other notable businesses. It is currently offered in Cobb County and will be expanding to additional Georgia cities in 2021. Due to the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic, CEFGA experienced forced innovation as it transitioned its events to social platforms. In fact, its annual Career Expo at the Georgia World Congress Center, was cut short at the beginning of March 2020 as the pandemic first began to touch down in the state. This annual gathering is the biggest event hosted by CEFGA all year and would have hosted more than 5,000 students from across the state. According to Shelar, canceling the event was the hardest professional decision he has made. While the pandemic certainly forced CEFGA to figure out how to connect with people and bring awareness to the industry, it also made the organization more efficient by allowing it to connect with people all over the world, including students, parents and teachers. Back in April, the CEFGA began hosting Facebook Live's every Tuesday. Hosted by Kayleen McCabe, these 30-minute sessions feature different guests within the industry. Upcoming topics include construction-ready programs, post-secondary education options, technical colleges, women in construction and architecture.

A series of job expos, compared to "speed dating", has resulted in employment for hundreds of people in the Otago region. The third and final "Jobbortunity" event was held in Queenstown over the weekend, where the unemployed were put in front of a host of mostly agricultural businesses desperate for workers. Balclutha and Dunedin recently staged similar events. More than 8000 jobs were on offer in total and about 10 per cent of the roles have been filled. Clutha District mayor Bryan Cadogan speaks to Corin Dann.

Charlie Gleason, a designer and front end developer at Heroku, interviews Luis Alvarez. Luis is a data analyst intern at Heroku, and he got there through his involvement in Year Up. Year Up is akin to a bootcamp for young adults, divided into two phases. The first six months are a process of learning and development. Year Up pairs your interests with hands-on training in various subjects, such as data analytics, IT, and project management. There's consistent feedback from your classmates and you're constantly being evaluated on your progress. After this assessment, Year Up pairs students with companies. For example, students who excelled in data visualization courses will be matched to a company which requires that work. Luis carries the discussion by listing out the aspects of Year Up which surprised him. He appreciated the amount of time which his mentors at Heroku allotted for him, and was able to make the commute from San Jose to San Francisco largely because Year Up provides a monthly stipend for all of its students. Learning to anticipate his colleagues' needs was also necessary, as Luis' primary role was collating and representing data as graphs for others to make use of. Through the process, Luis was able to solidify his communication skills. In the end, Luis offers some advice for listeners who are keen to become future interns. He believes prospective Year Up students network should with as many people as they can, to ask for and suggest projects that coincide with their interests. Next, when it comes time to apply for jobs, he recommends an aggressive approach of applying to no less than three openings a day. As well, if you document the work you've been doing, you will find yourself with a portfolio which you can show to prospective employers. Links from this episode Year Up's mission is to close the Opportunity Divide by ensuring that young adults gain the skills, experiences, and support that will empower them to reach their potential through careers and higher education.

Jeff: Kylee Jungbauer, Rehabilitation Counselor for Transition Age Students. Kylee: We like to keep our students busy during the summer, that's what I tell all of my students so yep, if you're working with us we expect that you're working your plan and obtain that job goal. Jeff: Voices from the success stories of transition age students. Student 1: State Services for the Blind played a role in helping me figure out, for one thing what I wanted to do after high school, and then where I wanted to go to college, and then also they assisted me with helping me find a job. Student 2: Training in stuff relating to technology and all your use of computers and phones, what's the best way that works for you. Student 3: So I was very lucky to have an IEP team that was familiar with working with a blind student. Jeff: Learn about the transition unit at State Services for the Blind. Kylee: I think another way a parent can be involved is just to have that expectation of their student that they will work, and have that expectation that okay yes, they need to learn how to cook, how to do their own laundry, how to clean because the parents aren't gonna be around forever right. Jeff: Kylee is part of a team at State Services for the Blind in their transition unit. Be sure to contact your State Services and find out what their transition team can do for you, and for more podcasts with the blindness perspective, check us out on the web at www.blindabilities.com, on Twitter at Blind Abilities, and download the free Blind Abilities app from the app store, that's two words, Blind Abilities. Kylee: But I think more importantly, is taking a step back and saying, okay, do you have the skills to actually go to college, do you have you know, the advocacy skills, do you have the technology skills, do you have the technology that you actually need? Jeff: Kylee Jungbauer. Kylee: Yep. Jeff: Is that right? Kylee: Yep, yep. Jeff: Welcome to Blind Abilities, I'm Jeff Thompson. Transitioning from high school to college to the workplace, it's a journey that most of us have taken, or some of us are looking forward to, and we'll be talking to Kylee Jungbauer. She's a transition counselor at State Services for the Blind. Kylee is going to talk about the services that you can receive to enhance your opportunities whether in college or gaining employment in the workplace. She's going to talk about the transition unit at State Services which will help you navigate your transition journey and make available all the resources, training, and skills, and confidence that you'll need for the journey. Kylee welcome to Blind Abilities how are you doing? Kylee: I'm great, how are you? Jeff: I'm doing good thank you. I really appreciate you taking the time to come down to the studios to share with us what you do for clients of State Services for the Blind. Kylee: Yes of course. Jeff: So Kylee, what is the transition unit at State Services for the Blind? Kylee: We work with youth about 14 to all the way up to 24, so college students as well, and we help them move through their transition from high school to either college or high school to just starting off with their first couple of jobs, we look at what their job goal is, or if they don't have a job goal, bringing them to that, with looking at different interest, inventories, or getting different work experiences so they can try different jobs and see what they really like. Jeff: When you say 14 to 24, so 14 you're talking about students who are in high school? Kylee: Correct yep, so when they're in high school we work with in conjunction with their schools and their TBVI's to supplement what they're already getting or maybe give suggestions, expose them to some different technology, and things that maybe they aren't getting in their school. Some schools provide a lot of adjustment to blindness training, and some schools do little, so we like to supplement especially during the summer when they're out of school. Jeff: And why is that? Kylee: Just to get them prepared for life, like I said transitioning out of education, you know high school, a lot of the services are provided for them, they aren't really having to advocate hopefully too hard for those services versus when they're an adult, they're kind of on their own and they have to learn how to do those things and advocate either in college or in their first jobs. Jeff: And what kind of options are there for the summer? Kylee: We have a lot of summer programming that some of it we provide, a lot of it the various vendors provides anywhere from more social to adjustment to blindness training, where, you know learning Braille, learning orientation mobility skills, a lot of Technology in Duluth, since it's so far away they have some online courses where you can work with them remotely I guess from anywhere in within Minnesota, so there's a lot of different options. Jeff: When you were talking about the TVI's teachers for the visually impaired, you're talking about the district teachers? Kylee: I don't know if they're considered district teachers or not but the district's hire them, yeah the schools provide that service. Jeff: And that's where they start their individual educational plan. Kylee: Yep yep, the TBVI's, they're included in it, the students will also have a case manager that kind of runs the whole thing and makes sure that the goals that are written on the education plan are being obtained or maintained or changed as needed, and State Services for the Blind can be included in on that plan but then we will also have an employment plan for the students as well with their job goal, or if there isn't a job goal then we, we just put something generic while we're exploring different careers. Jeff: So they actually have a simultaneous education plan segueing into a employment plan? Kylee: Correct yep, they'll have an education plan and an employment plan at the same time up until graduation of course, and then it will just be an employment plan with State Services for the Blind, and that will bring them through either their first job or college. Jeff: Well that's a good segue. Kylee: Yeah. Jeff: How does State Services or the transition work with the districts or the Department of Education in Minnesota? Kylee: We like to be invited to all of the IEP meetings so please invite us, that doesn't always happen, just because sometimes they get thrown together really last minute and as long as the parent and the student can make it they kind of just go on with it but, it's good for us to be there so we can see what the school is providing and maybe advocate for more, maybe make suggestions, or see where we can supplement in during this school year, you know sometimes students have time on weekends or after school, or especially during the summer time when they're on break. We like to keep our students busy during the summer that's what I tell all of my students, so yep if you're working with us we expect that you're working your plan and obtain that job goal throughout the school year and then especially during the summer when you're on break and you have that extra time, Jeff: Are there internship programs available to transition-age students in the summer? Kylee: Yes definitely we can work with a vendor but we also have our work opportunity navigator, Tou Yang, and he works with a lot of the students that I'm working with to get them internships, paid summer jobs, if they're interested in working during the school year that's great too, or doing Job Shadows so they can check out different jobs. Some students have this career goal, they know they want to do it but they haven't really talked to somebody who's in the work field actually doing that job, and they may find that oh it looks like it's a lot more data entry and paperwork versus client contact and so maybe they don't want to do that, or maybe they want to be a photographer but they don't want to have to figure out their own taxes or anything like that, so they'll look into working for a company versus going out on their own. So different things that they just don't know because they haven't had that experience. Jeff: Experience that will help them formulate their career goals. Kylee: Right exactly, yep so each career goal on our end has to be looked at, explored, and we have to determine if it's feasible, so if we have a student who wants to be a dolphin trainer for instance but doesn't want to leave Minnesota, that's probably not going to be something that SSB will support just because once they graduate you know, they won't be able to find a job here in Minnesota, so yep. Jeff: Maybe moose training or something but not dolphin training. Kylee: Yes. [Whoosh Sound Effect] Jeff: So if someone wants to explore a career, is there a resource here to help them do that? Kylee: Yep work with Tou, and also we've got a couple different websites that we can either send to our students or sit with them and work one-on-one with them to do some exploration that way, and hopefully the student are getting that in their school as well, hopefully. Jeff: So Tou, you say he's the employment navigator, he actually contacts companies, works with companies to know what they want and educate them on what to expect probably, and then brings people in for opportunities? Kylee: Yep, yep he has a background in working and doing job placement for other companies in the past so he has those employer connections which is great as well, but yep he brings students out to look at people out doing the actual job that they may be interested in so they can see the intricacies of it and still interested in that after learning the ins and outs or if maybe it's not for them and they want to explore other options. Jeff: So Kylee, how do parents get involved, do you have contact with parents of transition students? Kylee: Definitely, parents can be as involved as they want to be of course if their student is a minor, they have to be there for any signing of documentation, but after that they can be as involved as they want to be, kind of feel that out with both the student and the parents. Sometimes I just meet with my students one-on-one during the school day or whatever is convenient for them, but sometimes the parents want to be there, sometimes I can send an email to the parents after a meeting just giving them a recap. If I'm sending internship opportunities or things that need to be filled out with the student and maybe the student isn't the most responsive, I'll just CC the parents on the email just to make sure that everybody saw that it needs to be sent back. But I think another way that parents can be involved is just to have that expectation of their student that they will work, and have that expectation that, okay yes they need to learn how to cook, how to do their own laundry, how to clean, because the parents aren't gonna be around forever right, and they also hopefully won't be following their student to college, so if they need those skills just like any other person. But on the flip side of that, we understand that for a college student, or college bound student it is normal for them not to have those skills. I think college bound students kind of figure out how to do their own laundry once they show up and they dye a white shirt red for the first time and then they're like, okay maybe I need to figure this out, so that's totally normal but I think yeah, for parents to have that expectation that their students work and most people I know had to have a summer job so they could pay for their gas, pay for their the clothes that they want, or the new phone, or you know what have you, so yeah just having that expectation that their student will go on in transition just like any other visual person, so yeah. Jeff: You brought up a good point about you know, the parents are probably their first advocate that they have coming along in life, and there's comes a point in that transition process where a student has to start considering taking over that advocacy, advocating for themselves, like when they don't get a book on time that they can't always depend on their TBI or disability services, they get to a point where they start to have take responsibility for laundry like you said, all that stuff. Kylee: Yep yep, we have a whole Student Handbook that we go through and it has expectations of you know all the documentation that we need before semester starts, but I think more importantly is taking a step back and saying, okay do you have the skills to actually go to college, do you have you know the advocacy skills, do you have the technology skills, do you have the technology that you actually need, the knowledge of the different apps, you know to get your books online, right now it's Jesse that's working with all of our students, but getting our transition tech involved and they come in for a tech assessment to see what they have right now and what they'll need with both technology and technology training. So I have a student right now we're getting her tech package in but also we're planning for the training that she'll need in preparation for going off to college because surprisingly, her typing skills aren't that great, so that's something she knows she really needs to work on because all of those papers that she's gonna be writing, she's gonna need those skills, yeah super exciting, skills that you'll need right. [Whoosh Sound Effect] Jeff: I've seen reports where like colleges said that people are coming in and they're not prepared, and I've also seen where people come in but they end up being like a week or two behind because they're just trying to use this new technology that they don't understand yet and you have to be able to hit the ground running when you enter college. Kylee: Right yes, I talk a lot about that you know, college is high school times ten, you know you don't have a whole week to learn about one chapter in a book, and then have a test on it maybe a week later, it's like five chapters in one week, so you have, yeah right exactly, you have to be able to hit the ground running. So making sure that they're connected with the disability services at their college and they know the ins and outs of how they ask for accommodations, if they need extra time with test taking, anything like that, knowing how to get all that stuff before they go into college. I talked to my students about how some teachers are fabulous with accommodations and some just don't want to deal with it, or they haven't really had to deal with it in the past, so having those advocacy skills are huge. Jeff: Yeah I always suggested when I went in, I learned right away that, send in an email to each teacher, each professor, six weeks in advance if you get that opportunity, to start setting up that communications, and get that underway, rather than trying to set something, because everyone's busy that first week. Kylee: Definitely yeah. I know when I went off to college for the first time, I was terrified to talk to any of my professors, but you don't have that you know option when you need accommodations, you just have to go for it, and feel you know, be comfortable, or maybe you don't have to be comfortable with it, but you have to be able to at least do it, so yeah having those skills is huge. Jeff: Yeah and it does get more comfortable, and as long as you do get comfortable with it, it just puts it back, you just move forward from there. Kylee: Right exactly. Jeff: What words of advice for someone who is transitioning from high school to college to the workplace? Kylee: I would say make sure that you have all of your technology training down, your orientation and mobility, make sure that you're comfortable with that. I think a lot of students are comfortable in their school settings, so some that have some vision may not even use their cane, but I think it's important when you're out in public especially when you're learning new locations to have those orientation mobility skills down, because yeah you will need them. Advocacy skills as well because you need to be able to talk to your employer and let them know what you need and feel comfortable with that, yeah it's very important. Jeff: Yeah because most colleges aren't that one building school. Kylee: Exactly yep, and a lot of the students that I work with we offer orientation mobility skills, multiple semesters so they can learn their new path, you know each time. After a student's been on campus for a couple of years they pretty much know the layout but, I have no problem each semester bringing in orientation mobility, you, just right away so they feel comfortable with where they're going. Jeff: Well that's great, Kylee how does someone get in contact with State Services for the Blind for the first time? Kylee: The best way to do it is to contact, if you're in the metro to contact our St. Paul office, and they will get you connected with Meredith Larsen, and Meredith does all of our orientation and intakes, and orientation is provided twice a month at different times, so you can come in, learn about all of our services and decide if this is the right program for you. If so then she'll meet with you one-on-one and do an intake and have you sign an application at that point and that kind of, your signing saying yes I'm dedicated to this program, and then from there you'll start working with a counselor. If your you're in the metro it'll be either me or Ashlyn, and if you're in Greater Minnesota there's different counselors out in those areas that also work with our transition youth. Jeff: That's perfect, well Kylee, once again thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to come down to the studios here and sharing with us, believe me it's been a wealth of information, so thank you very much. Kylee: Yep, thank you.

Learn the real story behind job placement numbers. Have you ever heard of the term 'under-employment?' This one placement statistic is hidden when most colleges report their job placement figures.
