Upon enrolling with the OCWB Career Station, Mr. Harshman met with his Career Advisor and shared he was hesitant about the program helping him because he was an exfelon and didn’t think he would be able to find employment even after completing training. Mr. Harshman was encouraged to take the training and be placed on the waiting list for CDL training. Although very hesitant Harshman enrolled.\u003Cbr>Mr. Harshman attended training from May 14, 2018 - June 22, 2018, and completed training at the top of his class with the passing score of 93% . While in training, Mr. Harshman was detailing cars. Shortly after completing training, Mr. Harshman interviewed for a position at Sysco and was hired at a wage above the standard living wage that will have him on track to make $70,000 per year after training! If you see Mr. Harshman wish him much success!\u003Cbr>| SOUTHSIDE ON THE RISE\u003Cbr>In January 2018 Ms. Faith Franklin was the first participant to enroll in the Office of Community Wealth’s Building Southside Career Station program when the doors open at the Southside Community Center. Ms. Franklin was self-motivated and she focused on her goals which was to get a job and start her career. As Ms. Franklin plugged into the process of the program she completed her two workshops and information session as the only participant in each workshop. She quickly began to trust the staff and the process at OCWB, and she received her forklift training certification, and she also was hired on the spot by her training provider. She also entered the PCA training during the time in which she took classes at night while she worked during the day. She struggled to get to classes due to not having gas money for her car at times, and she also had a variety of car repair challenges but she never let that stop her because she finished with some of the highest scores in her class. After completing the class she began to search for better jobs in the healthcare field. After searching for less than a month Ms. Franklin was hired as a fulltime customer service representative for Laser Ship making $10/hour. She is happy, but she knows that more is in store for her as she continues to attend different recruitment events at all of the career stations, and she is interested in eventually owning her owning her own business. |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n\nMYA TODAY  \nMAYOR'S YOUTH ACADEMY  \nMYA’s partnership with the Junior Founders Club continued this fall with a second cohort of Junior Founders. The Junior Founders Club is a program created to help youth cultivate entrepreneurial mindsets and start their own businesses. Founder, former educator and local entrepreneur, Kendall Morris, recognized a disconnect between what kids were learning and the needs of the future job market. This led her to develop a hands on curriculum that teaches core competencies such as grit, innovation, and acumen, alongside business basics such as product development, marketing, branding, and financial planning.  \nMYA welcomed four new City of Richmond youth into the Junior Founders Club in September. Over the past three months, youth met weekly, working through lessons centered on topics such as “Understanding Your Target Customer,”“Dreaming Up a Business to Solve a Problem,” and “Creating Your Brand.”  \nIn addition to the web based curriculum, youth had the opportunity to learn from local entrepreneurs including Steve Roser of Gelati Celesti, Montrell Brown of Brown’s Lawn in Order, Janna Hall of The Leap Innovative Group, Nicholas Bailey of Karlek Candles, and As","cbCaiehinaAljYlL","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiehinaAljYlL","pdf",734525,1,5,"English","en",105,"# OCWB Career Station Success Stories\n## CDL Training and Career Outcomes\n## Southside on the Rise\n# Mayor's Youth Academy (MYA)\n## Junior Founders Club Program\n## Mentorship and Business Launch Progress\n# Community Corner: Bridging the Gap RVA","[{\"question\":\"What outcomes are featured from the OCWB CDL training program?\",\"answer\":\"A participant enrolled despite concerns, completed training with a 93% passing score, interviewed shortly after, and was hired at a wage expected to support a $70,000-per-year trajectory after training.\"},{\"question\":\"What is “Southside on the Rise” describing?\",\"answer\":\"It outlines how the first Southside Career Station participant joined OCWB, completed workshops and certifications, pursued PCA training, overcame transportation and car-repair challenges, and secured a full-time customer service role.\"},{\"question\":\"How does MYA’s Junior Founders Club support youth entrepreneurship?\",\"answer\":\"It uses a hands-on curriculum teaching entrepreneurial mindsets and business fundamentals like product development, marketing, branding, and financial planning, paired with weekly mentorship from local entrepreneurs.\"}]","THE CWB Community Wealth Bulletin -
