Hello ONEin3 Readers,
The 2010-2011 ONEin3 Mayor’s Advisory Council has been working over the last 4 months to put together meaningful problem-solving efforts that will improve life for ONEin3ers like you. There are 5 subcommittees on the Council: Jobs & Careers, Young Families & Education, Housing, Civic Engagement, and Social & Cultural Life. Here’s an update on what they’ve been up to.
First up, the illustrious Jobs & Careers team!
The super-energetic Jobs & Careers subcommittee has been hard at work figuring out what our most pressing needs are with regard to employment and career development. Realizing that in this tight economy there are needs all across the spectrum, they decided that their first order of business should be reaching out to ONEin3ers to help direct their efforts. The ONEin3 Jobs & Careers survey went out last month, and nearly 300 of you responded! Those answers, combined with 2 focus groups’ worth of discussion, have given the subcommittee great insights about the wants and needs of our demographic.
Among other findings, the need for mentorship and concerted career development emerged as a major point of interest. Jobs & Careers is currently thinking about ways the City can contribute in that arena and also how best to guide ONEin3ers to helpful development opportunities so that they can continue to thrive professionally here in Boston.
Share your thoughts on what makes a great mentor or mentorship program below in the comments!
