In this episode of the Work in Progress podcast, I'm joined by Sarah Keh, the vice president of corporate social responsibility at Prudential Financial to discuss the company's $180 million committment to helping opportunity youth find a pathway to good jobs and wealth building. Keh sat down with me to discuss the philanthropy in June at the Aspen Ideas Festival. Opportunity youth are young people between the ages of 16 and 24 who currently are not in formal education or training and are unemployed. There are almost 6 million people who fall into that designation, a number that has grown since the COVID pandemic. Even before the pandemic, in 2019, Prudential decided to invest $180 million by 2025 in programs that will help young people across the globe gain the right skills to compete for and succeed in quality jobs.  "The reason why they have come into the situation that there are in...is not because they don't have the will or the desire. It's oftentimes they are born into a situation that doesn't provide them the access to the opportunities that you and I may have had in our upbringing," says Keh. She says the Prudential believes it is important to look at opportunity youth for their potential and act on it. "We're really focused on this population because we believe these are our future leaders of nonprofits, of businesses, of government, and they just need access to the right resources and tools to provide them the good skill." Keh says the company has already achieved in five years what it had set out to achieve in six – the $180 million in nonprofit programs that are providing that training and opportunity. "We've invested in over 20 different organizations globally that have impacted hundreds and thousands of young people. We know even just last year through our impact data that over 500,000 opportunity youth were connected to training opportunities and employment opportunities." Here is the U.S., those workforce development programs include Year Up, YouthBuild, and Per Scholas. Keh and I go into details on how these programs are helping and how the can help young people build wealth. We also discuss Prudential's work of a local level in Newark, New Jersey, the headquarters of the company which turns 150 years old next year. You can listen to the podcast here, or wherever you get your podcasts. This podcast was recorded at the Aspen Ideas Festival, in collaboration with the Aspen Institute.

Year Up Founder and CEO Gerald Chertavian believes that skill, more than credentials, is key to making a successful hire. He also thinks it's a way to close the opportunity gap that primarily impacts low income individuals. In this episode of #ThisIsWorking the Podcast, Dan Roth and Nina Melendez Ibarra discuss Gerald's mission with Year Up, including primary factors in improving social mobility, whether the ROI on college networks is worth the cost of a 4-year degree, and why Gerald's pitch to executives on skills-based hiring is a case-study on how to be persuasive. Special thanks to members Sarah Horne, Virginia Backaitis, and Ben-Jamin Toy for their comments on the topic. Got questions you want to hear our This is Working hosts ask?

Kate Duggan, Interim Chief Executive Officer at Tusla, discusses the challenges facing the Child and Family Agency as it publishes its 2022 Annual Report.

Summer is for relaxing and recharging before you head into another busy school year. I hope you're taking full advantage of this season because we all know that once school is back in session, it will feel like you're drinking from a firehose! While I don't want you to spend your summer worrying about what's to come, there are things you can sprinkle into your break that will set you up for success for the upcoming year. One of those things is to put together a planning day for your counseling team off campus. If you set up this planning day intentionally, it has the potential to impact your entire year! Not only will it give you and your team a chance to get to know each other, but you can also use this day to establish expectations, look at your annual calendar, work through scheduling challenges, and so much more. Wouldn't it be nice to get everyone on the same page before the school year even begins? I hope this episode sparks lots of ideas and excitement for you when it comes to mapping out your team planning day. Trust me, it will set the tone for a successful year ahead. I can't wait to hear how it goes!

How do you build skills and cause proven, sustained wage gains for young adults in the US? Just ask Gerald Chertavian, founder and CEO of the youth workforce development non-profit, Year Up.  Tune into this episode of An Educated Guest and join Gerald and host Todd Zipper, Executive Vice President and GM at Wiley, to learn how Year Up is closing the Opportunity Divide, returning $2.46 to society for every $1 invested in the organization, and teaching employers how to implement inclusive, skills-based hiring.  Key Takeaways: Year Up's leadership in operationalizing emergent talent at scale by combining workforce and youth development  How the organization has caused the largest proven sustained wage gains for young adults in the US  How Year Up provides high support and high expectations through its multi-modality, three-stage program  Why social capital and building higher socio-economic connections are critical to talent career success  Year Up's virtuous, ecosystem approach of bringing young adults and employers together through skills-based hiring  Guest Bio Gerald Chertavian is dedicated to closing the Opportunity Divide that exists in our nation. Determined to make his vision a reality, Gerald combined his entrepreneurial skills and his passion for working with young adults to found Year Up in 2000.   Gerald's commitment to working with young adults spans more than 25 years. In 1999, he sold his technology company, Conduit Communications, and left his career on Wall Street to help low-income, at-risk youth. A year later, in 2000, Year Up was born.  Gerald holds a B.A. in Economics from Bowdoin College and an M.B.A. from Harvard Business School. He's also a New York Times best-selling author of his book published in 2012 called A Year Up. 

In this episode of Work in Progress, I speak to Gerald Chertavian, founder and CEO of Year Up, a nonprofit helping young adults in underrepresented communities get started in livable wage careers on a pathway to economic mobility. Year Up has three interconnected strategies – providing targeted skills training and connections to livable-wage employment for students and alumni; empowering others to serve and support young adults; and changing systems that perpetuate the opportunity gap. Since its founding in 2000, Year Up has served more than 40,000 young people. "We work with low-income 18-to-29-year-olds, and in one year or less, empower those young adults to go from either low-income or no-income to livable wage careers, often with the largest, best companies in this country," explains Chertavian. "Year Up's intensive training program utilizes a high expectations, high support model where students learn in-demand technical and professional skills and apply them during a corporate internship." The nonprofit works with about 60% of the Fortune 100 companies. "What we've proven over the years is we can become a relevant, valuable source of talent. What do you need to do? You need to teach someone hard skills and soft skills. You need to provide wraparound support, and then you need to coach them into a job that you're working with the manager as well as the individual to make sure that that's a successful transition into work," he adds. Chertavian says these young adults come to Year Up directly – through a referral from a guidance counselor or someone else – but often the companies that have worked with the nonprofit previously come back to them again and again, seeking talent. "When I started Year Up, I would walk over broken glass on my knees for a mile to get one internship. Now we've validated this, so we'll place 500 people a year into Bank of America, hundreds a year into JPMorgan Chase. We've really built the infrastructure to do this at scale. "Bank of America came to us and said, 'We want to work with you to build a program for 400 software engineers per year. How do we do that?' So, three years down the road, these young adults – despite not having finished a four-year degree – are indistinguishable from folks who may have come from a different path. "This works well when the partner's engaged, when they see our young adults as talent and they're willing to change some of their practices to be more inclusive and equitable, for those who haven't had all the opportunities that some others may have had through privilege of birth and circumstance," Chertavian tells me. He says this has been the success behind the program and he believes if more employers change their hearts and their minds, we would have more equitable hiring throughout the workforce, leading to more economic mobility. "If one thing could change, it is people who have power to make decisions see our young people as talent – those who may not have had access to a four-year degree; those who may have come from a background that may have been underrepresented or underserved – and recognize that God did not distribute intelligence by ZIP Code and bank balance and that talent does reside everywhere, even though opportunity doesn't. "As a person who has power you can change the way your company operates. You can adopt skills-first hiring. You can see the community as relevant and valuable talent. Give me belief change, and a lot of good things are going to flow from that in terms of how companies behave and ultimately the impact they have on creating a much more economic mobility for the communities within which they live and serve."

It was a off shoot of another project that has since taken off and recently secured it's Series B funding. Raphael speaks to several points: ·         The transition from being hands on to leading ·         Differences between being a Founder and CEO what it is like ·         How the role of CEO continues to evolve and the company setback of a bad hire Raphael discusses the challenges and learning moments moving from being a hands on start up Founder to a governing company CEO.  His job as CEO is still constantly changing- it changes every three months.  He also embraces hiring those who are smarter than himself, talks about why, learning new leadership skills, the value of a support network and mentors. Bonusly is an enterprise platform that helps companies create a high-performance, high-engagement workplace. Prior to founding Bonusly, Raphael was an early employee at several startups, a Peace Corps volunteer in Honduras, and an instructor for Year Up. Raphael dropped out of high school to work as a software engineer in the mid-nineties, but did eventually earn his BA in cognitive science from Hampshire College, where he wrote his senior thesis on artificial intelligence.

Melanie Chavez is a First Gen Latina, first time homebuyer and LA native. Her story is rooted in moving away from home to defy her family's expectations of womanhood and what that means as a young Latina. In 2017, despite lack of support from my family, she packed up her car and moved to Seattle with nothing but a dream to live in the Emerald City and to help others like herself. She knew two people and had ZERO job leads.  She proceeded to spend 3+ years at Year Up, became a homeowner, and is now a Talent Sourcer at HighSpot, with a mission to open doors and opportunities for underrepresented talent and marginalized communities. In this episode, you hear all the tea in between and more. Connect with her on LinkedIn. For updates on Hella Latin@ episodes, follow @hellalatinopodcast on Instagram and connect on LinkedIn.
