Getting outside of one's comfort zone through hands-on experiences with learning is hands-down one of the most transformative opportunities out there! "Rutgers–Camden supports a wide variety of #experiential programs, including #internships, #civic learning opportunities, #research projects, and #travel abroad. The university also offers students, regardless of major, the chance to earn a certificate in #civicengagement and #socialchange as part of their coursework. To earn the certificate, students must complete a series of five courses, a capstone presentation, and 100 hours of direct community involvement in Camden. Time and money are often the most significant barriers to taking advantage of these valuable learning experiences, especially for #firstgeneration #college students. Recent data reveals that nationally, only 8% of first-generation students travel abroad, and only 35% of first-generation seniors have participated in an internship. Rutgers–Camden seeks to overcome these barriers through counseling and support, including financial help through the Chancellor’s Experiential Learning Fund. The fund provides students with up to $3,000 to use towards their participation in an experiential learning activity. Funds can be used for travel, to cover costs while completing an unpaid internship, or to support independent research."

How to Gain a Competitive Edge by Leveraging Resources……… Tyhe difference between thriving and merely surviving often comes down to how effectively you use available resources. Here are a few strategies that can help your company grow: 1. Utilize Industry Data from Small Business Development Centers (SBDCs): ↳ These centers offer valuable insights and data that can inform your business decisions and strategies. 2. Upskill Your Workforce with IWTP Grants: ↳ The Incumbent Worker Training Program (IWTP) grants provide funding to help train your current employees, boosting their skills and your company's capabilities. 3. Leverage State Apprenticeship Programs: ↳ These programs are an excellent way to bring in new talent and provide them with the skills they need to succeed within your organization. 4. Participate in LED CEO Roundtables: ↳ These roundtables are perfect for strategy development and networking with other leaders in your industry. These are just a few ways to leverage resources that can give you an edge over competitors who aren't taking advantage of them. Curious, what resources are you using to scale?

🚀 Exciting News! To kick off our Black History Month celebrations, we’re thrilled to announce that Lloyd Mcleggon-Watkinson will be taking over our LinkedIn page for the next few days! 🎉 Lloyd, a dedicated member of the Science Apprenticeship Forum, will be sharing his personal experiences, insights on increasing diversity in science, and some of the incredible individuals who have inspired him along the way. 💡 Lloyd’s Top Tips for Employers on Promoting Diversity: "Encourage staff to share ideas while keeping in mind that not everyone is confident enough to speak up in large settings. It’s important to provide multiple ways for employees to have a voice. Not everyone is comfortable with open discussions, so make space for quieter conversations that allow interactions to be more accessible. These moments often capture the most unique and valuable ideas!" Great advice from Lloyd as part of our Black History Month takeover! 🌍 Every voice matters—let’s ensure every team member has the chance to contribute. Stay tuned, and be sure to follow along as he shares his journey and perspectives. Don’t forget to connect with him and show your support! 🌟 #BlackHistoryMonth #DiversityInSTEM #ScienceApprenticeships #RisingStar #DiversityInTheWorkplace #InclusionMatters #Leadership
