We were honored this week to receive a proclamation recognizing Workforce Development Month from the City Of Miramar.
While we are grateful for the recognition, what stayed with me the most was the reminder that workforce development is not something that belongs to only schools, workforce agencies, HR departments, or government programs.
Every one of us has something we can contribute. 💙
Maybe it is mentoring a young person who is trying to understand what career opportunities are available to them. Maybe it’s opening your workplace to an intern, speaking to a classroom, reviewing a résumé, conducting a mock interview, sharing what you have learned during your own career, or simply making an introduction that helps someone get their foot in the door.
The knowledge, skills, experience, and relationships many of us have spent decades building can become part of someone else’s beginning. 🦋
At HBL Resources, workforce development has always been closely connected to our work because strong organizations do not happen without people who are given opportunities to learn, grow, lead, and succeed.
So as we celebrate this proclamation, I would love to turn the recognition outward.
What is one way you or your organization can invest in the development of the next generation of our workforce this year?
It does not always require a program or a budget. Sometimes it’s simply requires someone willing to say, “I can help.” 🤝
Thank you to the City Of Miramar for recognizing the importance of workforce development and for giving us another opportunity to continue this conversation.
