💡 - Job loss takes a emotional and professional toll 💡 - Different services needed for different groups 💡 - State agencies need to work together, not apart 💡 - Better partnerships needed between employers and agencies Most people won't read 46 pages of findings or the 4-page brief from the New Start Career Network so I put this together, for everyone to see. If companies want to make a difference they'll put their proverbial money were their mouths are - by creating and funding grants so we can keep doing the work that agencies either can't or won't do.

Some first thoughts.... ✅ - More needs to be done to focus on emotional needs ✅ - Outsource some of your services to those of us who know what we're talking about. Pay us through training grants you have available ✅ - Include our resources on your websites ✅ - Stop posting jobs - they're not helpful, outdated or don't exist Get into the 21st century already- ✅ - Include us when you discuss your challenges
