Our CEO grew up watching Bob Ross and Norm Abram patiently explain how to do magical things with paint and tools. Turns out that went deep into his psyche and he similarly makes woodworking feasible as a way to teach math, social skills and career exploration.

A little Halloween fun for you. I loved watching Bob Ross growing up and he definitely informed my teaching style. Enjoy!

Please watch this video on the power of human collaboration in the form of youth exploring careers in construction. This July, 90 youth aged 18-24 worked towards earning a certificate in construction, 3 college credits, OSHA 30 certification as well as important math and soft skills. As part of the NJBUILD CARPENTRY WORKSHOP for Women & Minorities in Construction program at the Newark Workforce Investment Board , these Summer Youth Employment Participants (SYEP) spent two weeks learning construction, and two more weeks learning OSHA regulations. Maplewoodshop worked with the Eastern Atlantic States Regional Council of Carpenters to hire union carpenters as teachers, the @newark public to hire Barringer Arts High School construction students as teaching assistants, Big Picture Learning and Harbor Freight Fellows to provide stipends to the teaching assistants. Maplewoodshop trained the carpenters and teaching assistants to work with novices, equipped 4 empty conference rooms, and supplied all the materials needed to create a tool tote, a bookcase, a step stool and other projects that demonstrated tool skills. We are proud to have enabled this large-scale pop-up workforce development program and are grateful to the mayor’s office and dignitaries who attended the graduation including Deputy Mayor Rahaman Muhammad , City Council President LaMonica R. McIver, Council Member at Large Min. Louise Scott-Rountree, North Ward Council Member Anibal Ramos, and State Senator Teresa Ruiz. We are excited to help youth across Newark discover the opportunities around them in the months to come. https://lnkd.in/emJfmqbA
