An Taoiseach, Simon Harris TD was at Google's Bolands Mills campus to address a group of graduates from the Ringsend, Irishtown, and Pearse Street areas. An Taoiseach presented the 14 graduates with certificates for qualifications across a diverse range of disciplines including nautical skills, training and development, and teacher training education. These programmes were delivered as part of the This City Works strategic plan, a local employment task force established by Google. Taoiseach Simon Harris TD was joined by Vanessa Hartley, Head of Google Ireland, at the ceremony to announce further funding of €750,000 by Google.org, the philanthropic arm of Google. The grant will enable training opportunities in the domains of digital support, AI prospects, nautical skills, teacher training education, enterprise development, career guidance, and personal growth. This is part of a strategic plan developed by This City Works and their local partners St Andrews Resource Centre, the Irish Nautical Trust and the Fair Play Anchorage Project. Speaking at the event Taoiseach Simon Harris TD said: "I am delighted to be here to see the continued impact that is being made by This City Works with Google and their local community partners. I have had the pleasure of visiting St Andrews Resource Centre [one of the partners we are recognising] a number of times in the past and it is heartening to see the results that these initiatives are having here in the local area. Programmes like these embody the essence of what a community is, being delivered and led by those in the community for those who live here. I want to thank Google for its further commitment to this important work." Vanessa Hartley, Head of Google Ireland said: "I am proud that Google has been a part of the Ringsend and Pearse Street community for over 20 years now, and we remain committed to helping create meaningful, sustainable and long-term employment opportunities for people that live here. The inspiring stories of these graduates are testament to the positive impact of these initiatives. The community skills projects that this Google.org grant will enable are specifically targeted to address development areas identified by local experts and we are honoured to continue the incredible work being delivered by the This City Works programme." The grant by Google.org will enable over 600 people in the local community to receive training including school leavers, the long term unemployed and asylum seekers. Jim Hargis, Manager St Andrews Resource Centre and Representative to This City Works, said, "This City Works is an important initiative, one that brings together people, businesses and community groups to provide support like mentoring and skills training to local unemployed people. I am delighted to be here to see fourteen new graduates receive their commendations, and to welcome the additional €750,000 in funding by Google.org. This grant will help us to reach those in our local community who need it most, providing them with the opportunity to gain qualifications, sustainable employment and oftentimes, a much needed boost to their self worth." This City Works is a group made up of Google representatives, community based training employment and education services, local businesses, Dublin City Council and the Department of Social Protection which aims to find sustainable employment solutions for long-term unemployed people. The goal of This City Works is to empower vulnerable and at-risk school leavers and unemployed people in the local community of Ringsend and Pearse Street by providing training and skill enhancement opportunities, complemented by support services, with the aim of increasing their employability and promoting social inclusion. Attendees at the event had the opportunity to hear from community representatives and participants in the current programmes. For more information visit This City Works . See more stories here.

With the avenues for foreign employment diminished due to COVID-19, many domestic helper agencies are looking to employ locally; however, it seems that both the Malaysian market and potential local employees are both unprepared for this issue.
Foreign investors eyeing a US expansion need market traction to justify investment. Reaching a critical mass of in market sales is a clear indicator of opportunity for further growth once on equal footing with existing market segment leaders and can be the justification companies need to take the plunge. Still, it can be difficult to convert online inquiries or trade show leads without on the ground support and intelligence whether that be business development or research capabilities. This conundrum leads many international companies to consider avenues for employing their own representative in the market providing eyes and ears to inform their US strategy and win business. Sourcing independent contractors can be a short term solution but having a trained employee representing your interests 100% of the time can make the difference between success and failure. Still, employers in the U.S. face a host of regulatory requirements which can unnecessarily entangle a foreign firm still trying to validate the market opportunity. Employer of Record (EOR) services present one way for international investors to have their cake and eat it too in this regard presenting a flexible employment solution for investors. In episode 5 of the America Made Easy Podcast, we take a look at outsourced recruitment and employment solutions such as EOR via Newable Avitus’ Validation Pilot and how they allow international firms to have boots on the ground in the US market without the administrative and regulatory burdens of being a US employer. For this episode, we are welcoming back Alex Mozota, Vice President for Recruiting at Avitus Group to help us break down these options for investors. Tune in to our 5th full length episode as we explore how these solutions give international firms the flexibility to hire before setting up an entity in the US. This episode will leave listeners with a clearer understanding of why outsourced employment solutions can be a good option for companies wanting to dip a toe in the US market as they determine the ROI on a full US expansion. Value Bombs from the Podcast US Employers are required to set up State and Federal Payroll Tax accounts and collect and remit taxes for all W-2 employees. The IRS places the burden of proof for worker classification, whether an employee or independent contractor, on the taxpayer (business). Employer of Record (EOR) is an organization that serves as the employer for tax purposes while the employee performs work at and for a different company. The EOR takes on the responsibility and traditional employment tasks and liabilities such as workers compensation insurance and payroll taxes.
