While there's a lot of fear right now about AI taking people's jobs, AI could actually help people get jobs – including those with some of the most significant barriers to employment.Tens of millions of Americans have some kind of criminal history.

NCDA's Technology Committee co-chairs Dr. Eric Hines and Angie Thompson host guest Denise Lawson from Quality Information Partners. They discuss data literacy and emerging tools, such as verifiable credentials and digital wallets. Lawson explains data literacy as role-dependent, stressing ethical data creation, asking good questions, and careful interpretation in career guidance. They discuss the shift toward skills-based hiring, using portfolios of verified skills from education, work, and extracurricular activities, starting as early as high school. Lawson emphasizes interoperability standards, trusted credential registries, and keeping humans in the loop — especially as AI changes work and can generate inaccurate claims — so that employers, educators, and counselors can share information with greater trust and better align education with workforce needs.For more on this topic, check out Denise Lawson's recorded NCDA Webinar: Digital Innovations and the Future of the Talent Marketplace.Denise Lawson is a Senior Associate at Quality Information Partners (QIP) where she currently leads projects related to data literacy for education professionals and furthering the use of postsecondary outcomes data.

Recruiting firms are often the first to feel a shift in the job market, before candidates, employees, and even some leaders fully realize what is happening.In this episode, Kelli breaks down what public staffing and executive search firms are signaling right now: cautious hiring, slower permanent headcount growth, stronger demand for interim leadership, consulting, transformation, and specialized talent.The message for senior leaders is clear: this is not a high-volume hiring market. It is a precision hiring market.If you are a senior leader navigating transition, this episode will help you rethink how you are showing up in the market not as someone looking for a role, but as someone positioned to solve a specific problem.

CLICK HEREWho we areBlock Club Chicago is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit news organization dedicated to delivering reliable, relevant and nonpartisan coverage of Chicago's diverse neighborhoods. We believe all neighborhoods deserve to be covered in a meaningful way.We amplify positive stories, cover development and local school council meetings and serve as watchdogs in neighborhoods often ostracized by traditional news media.Ground-level coverageOur neighborhood-based reporters don't parachute in once to cover a story. They are in the neighborhoods they cover every day building relationships over time with neighbors. We believe this ground-level approach not only builds community but leads to a more accurate portrayal of a neighborhood.Stories that matter to you — every daySince our launch seven years ago, we've published more than 30,000 stories from the neighborhoods, covered hundreds of community meetings and send daily and neighborhood newsletters to more than 150,000 Chicagoans. We've built this loyalty by proving to folks we are not only covering their neighborhoods, we are a part of them. Some of us have internalized the national media's narrative of a broken Chicago. We aim to change that by celebrating our neighborhoods and chronicling the resilience of the people who fight every day to make Chicago a better place for all.

You will not be sorry. https://www.linkedin.com/events/easytoimplementsecretstohelpyou7362080936382844928/theater/ Remember, Over the last 14 years, I have done everything I can to help as many #jobseekers as possible via Powerpoint presentations, documents , speaking engagements and now LinkedIn presentations that LinkedIn promotes for me. I also, whenever possible, scroll down my feed and every time I see a person that is #opentowork, I drop an invite to my next #LinkedInLive event or if I am not having one my #YouTube page that has hundreds of videos and audio events. I know that I have helped thousands of people in some way to get out of the canyon called #Unemployment and back into the job world. I could've charged a lot of money to a lot of people over the years because my stuff works and it works fast if you are someone that goes and attacks challenges. I don't charge people a lot of money because they need their money to eat and pay their rent and provide for their family when they are unemployed because they don't know when that nightmare will end. That is why I don't make it a giant moneymaking endeavor. I do this from the heart because I never forget how bad it felt to be unemployed and how awful every day was until I knew what my next job was. That said, I cannot believe when someone is offered free help from someone who has been doing it for as long as I have that they would ignore my invite and not come to the event. All I will say is here is an invite to my next event and if you are a #jobseeker you should come because something I say will help you to get in next great opportunity. It's different for every person, but something will resonate. With all of the people being mistreated and ghosted and punched in the face on this platform by people who have no interest in helping, I offer all I can give you to help you get back on your feet.

A new hiring platform aimed at helping young jobseekers into retail has launched in New Zealand. Oneflick asks candidates to create short video profiles to showcase their personality and communication skills and connect them directly with potential employers. Founder, Sachin Bhatia spoke to Corin Dann.

Young applicants entering the workforce can benefit greatly from guidance from parents or mentors - and small details can make all the difference. Meanwhile, St. Patrick's Day weekend means “corned beef time” in the Chicago area, and it's also a big weekend for a local snack maker.

John Maytham is joined by Cailin Rumpf, career strategist, to tell us how a single unworn dress sparked a pay-it-forward movement aimed at giving young job seekers a boost in confidence and access.

Join Mark Carey in this eye-opening episode of the Employee Survival Guide® as he unpacks the complexities of the modern hiring landscape, dominated by AI and automated employment decision tools (AEDTs). The emotional rollercoaster of the AI hiring bias and job applications—from the thrill of discovering the ideal job posting to the crushing disappointment of rejection—is all too familiar. But what if we told you that many of those rejections come not from a human, but from an algorithm? As we delve into the alarming reality of how the AI hiring bias and how algorithms filter applications without any human oversight, it's crucial for job seekers to understand the mechanics behind these systems. Carey introduces the concept of the 'black box' in hiring, where opaque algorithms can lead to discriminatory outcomes, AI hiring bias, leaving applicants in the dark about why they were overlooked. With the rise of AI hiring bias and the potential for discrimination based on race, age, gender, and more, knowledge is power in navigating this treacherous terrain. But fear not! Carey shares invaluable strategies for job seekers to enhance their resumes and beat the bots. Learn how to effectively mirror job descriptions and utilize simple formatting to increase your chances of getting noticed. This episode is packed with practical tips that empower you to take control of your job search process, transforming you from a passive candidate into an active participant in your career development. We also explore the legal implications surrounding employment discrimination, including the importance of bias audits and understanding your rights as an applicant. Whether you're facing issues like hostile work environments, retaliation, or discrimination based on disability or pregnancy, this episode equips you with the knowledge to advocate for yourself. The Employee Survival Guide® is not just about surviving the job market; it's about thriving within it. Ultimately, Mark Carey encourages listeners to embrace their power in a system that often feels rigged against them. By understanding the intricacies of AI in hiring and knowing your employee rights, you can navigate the employment landscape with confidence. Tune in for a compelling discussion that not only highlights the challenges of the job search but also offers actionable insights to empower you on your journey.

The Emotional Toll and Motivation She recalls stories of clients who: survived sex trafficking, were sleeping in cars, struggled with multiple children and no resources, or rode the bus with infants in freezing weather. These moments keep her going but also weigh heavily.She emphasizes hiring staff who have compassion and resist judgment.] 9. Entrepreneurship vs. 9–5 Reality Entrepreneurship is “24/7,” especially in nonprofits where money must be accounted for with precision.People don’t just give to a cause—they give to a leader they trust. 10.

Job seekers are now paying recruiters to help them land positions as the U.S. labor market tightens.
