phamer phamer@hancockcollege.edu <p>Allan Hancock College's regional director for Agriculture, Water, and Environmental Technology and Sustainability Committee member Holly Nolan-Chavez recently participated in a special project to inspire students, job seekers, and career changers to explore future-oriented jobs in agriculture, food, water, and the environment. The project is called 100+ Jobs to Feed People and Sustain the Planet. <a href="https://100plusjobs.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Visit the website and check it out! </a></p> <p>Holly's role was to provide input and direction for the development in collaboration with <a href="https://www.sagecenter.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SAGE</a> (Sustainable Agriculture Education) in collaboration with California Community Colleges Regional Directors. The web application provides students with a virtual job shadowing opportunity for sustainable careers in agriculture and food production. Information is presented in a video format that features current workers and provides wage data.</p> <p>The website features job stories built around short informal videos of vibrant, early-career people describing what they love about their jobs, what they do every day, their pathway to the job, and their aspirations for themselves and for making a difference. Created around the videos, over 30 compelling and diverse job stories are packaged as a digital card deck that also includes information about wages and education pathways.&nbsp;</p> <p>The website also includes a program finder for relevant community college programs, a list of digital job boards, and links to many work-based training opportunities and as well as general information sources about jobs data. The project welcomes feedback and suggestions for job ambassadors; please email <a href="mailto:100jobs@sagecenter.org">100jobs@sagecenter.org</a>.</p> Sun, 22 May 2022 08:53:50 -0800
