Westside Works brought a double dose of camaraderie to the Westside community on September 22nd, with a block party-style celebration highlighting new services, programs, and exciting workforce partnerships that will help Westside residents access high quality jobs, and the tools and resources they need and want to succeed. The Relaunch Celebration included fun for the whole family with over 30 partner organizations offering training programs and resources, a DJ, photobooth, face painting, game truck, jumpy house, and delicious food trucks. We even received a visit from the Falcons' cheerleaders and Freddie the Falcon - we had an incredible time! Thank you so much for attending this momentous event! A special thank you to all of our special guests and speakers, and our generous sponsors, Microsoft and Insight Global, for making this event possible.

We’re hearing from many members of our business community that they’re struggling with the consequences of the “Great Recession”. Workers are experiencing higher-than-ever levels of burnout and companies are seeing unprecedented employee turnover. This trend is creating widespread problems for businesses, felt in increased recruiting costs, reduced productivity, operational and customer service breakdowns, decreased employee morale, and more. You might be experiencing some of these challenges yourself. So, how do we break this vicious cycle? You're invited to a FREE Employee Engagement and Retention workshop, hosted by CareerRise, Good Jobs Institute, and Aerotropolis Alliance. You’ll learn from our team of experts how to implement the Good Jobs Strategy, which creates superior value for employees, customers, and investors by combining investment in employees with operational choices that increase employee productivity, contribution, and motivation. Companies like Quest Diagnostics, QuikTrip, Toyota, Costco, and others have used the Good Jobs Strategy to improve their business outcomes and employee experience. To get the most out of the workshop, you are strongly encouraged to bring 2-5 members of your leadership team, such as executives, operations, HR, finance, and field, to surface challenges and discuss how you might apply learnings to your own business. If you have any questions, please contact Nate Futrell, Industry Partnership Director at CareerRise.

CareerRise partnered with CommunityBuild Ventures (CBV) to provide a customized, racial equity learning opportunity for our WorkSource Metro Atlanta partners. Together, we hosted four 2-hour learning sessions designed to help staff members define a racial equity centered workforce development program. Each session enabled staff to begin to explore the 4 key skills (noticing, holding space, strengthening curiosity, and practicing accountability) to move towards racial equity, reflect on implicit bias and how it shows up in program delivery, and explore healing and self-care tools. We received a lot of positive feedback from the sessions. One participant shared that "I never really considered the history of racial equity as it relates to workforce development. I made the ignorant assumption that having a majority POC staff, that we were in some way better equipped to serve our customers. Everyone is capable of perpetuating racial inequity. I will be more intentional in the way that I serve moving forward." Thank you CommunityBuild Ventures for your continued support and partnership! We look forward to continuing to bring similar learning opportunities to our workforce development partners.
