Working With Congressman Clay

From Left to Right: Brandon Michael, Jesse Ruis, Congressman Clay and Christopher Jones

For the past seven years the St. Louis Job Corps has supplied students to assist Congressman William Lacy Clay with his June Job Fair. This year we had three students selected to assist the Congressman. They were Bran-don Michael, Jesse Ruis, and Christopher Jones. These three TCU stu-dents assisted the St. Louis Agency on Training and Employment set up for the event, they worked with the Congressman’s staff as people came in to register and get information, and they helped solve situations and prob-lems throughout the day. Congressman Clay as always was pleased with the Job Corps students. While they were there they were introduced to each of the employers and had a chance to speak to them about career opportunities and explain to them the training available at the St. Louis Job Corps.

Careers Start With Networking St. Louis Standard Volume 2 Issue 33

From Left to Right: Jesse Ruis, Brandon Michael, Frank Alaniz and Christopher Jones

Learning to network is an important part of developing and advancing your career. While Michael, Jesse Ruis, and Christopher Jones were working at Congressman Clay’s Job Fair they had a chance to take a short seminar on how to network from Frank Alaniz from the St. Louis Agency on Training and Employment. Frank had a chance to talk with each student for a few minutes and mentor them directly based on their career plans. He showed them the ins and outs of how to meet people and target the people in the room that are important to each. You must review the companies at a job fair and go directly to those that impact your career plans. You have to make it past the goodies on the table and ask the right questions. It is about making relationships and communicating to help you grow personally and professionally. Plan ahead who you want to talk to and set your priorities to make sure you make contact and gather the information you need to get employed in your career.

Kudos From Lester Painting

Robert Thomas has submitted his application package for Treasure Island Job Corps Center’s Advanced Culinary program. He has already had his initial phone interview and awaiting the final review of his packet. While on center Robert completed his High School Diploma and his Culinary Arts trade. In addition he has secured his ServSafe certification. Good Luck Robert!

Good evening everyone,

Just wanted to let everyone know that the students did AMAZING on their first day. The lead painters spoke VOLUMES regarding them getting busy, needing mini-mal instruction, and staying focused. He spoke extremely well of the tallest gentle-men with the group (my apologies for not knowing his name). He said that his dry-wall skills and mudding skills are phenomenal and he was impressed that he is only a student… , They also spoke extremely high of Ariana. She is focused, did not take breaks and worked hard and continuously throughout the day. Thank you for these great talents and we look forward to continuing.

Thank you,

Charlene Hester

Giving back to the community is part of what the St. Louis Job Corps does. George Davis our Cement Instructor needed to teach his students how to use forms to make benches and pav-ers. What better way to show the importance of doing it right than to have our students do a project and have it used in the community. They decided to make a bench for the church across the street. First they designed individual pavers. They made sure they were square so they

would fit together properly. Then they laid down gravel and leveled the base then placed the pavers. The cement forms were cast and wooden cross beams were painted and bolted into place. Pastor Chris was very pleased with the work and shook hands with each of the Ce-ment team members. “We always appreciate all that Job Corps does for us,” stated Pastor Chris. “Not only do we now have a wonderful bench but we have trained youth to go to work in our community. Great Job, Job Corps.”

The Non-Residential students took a field trip this month to Edison’s Entertain-ment in Edwardsville, IL. It is important that these students bond and learn to work together. The bonding is designed to help them form strong friendships and help them encourage each other to complete the training program. Non-Residential students have many other responsibilities and difficulties to deal with each evening when they go home. It is important that they rely on each other for encouragement and ideas on how to deal with these issues. They become men-

tors to each other increasing their success. The students had a good time bowling, playing laser tag, and chal-lenging each other in arcade games. They all ate a buffet styled lunch together; it was a great team building experi-ence.

Customer service is the key to success. Star-bucks and the Urban League have partnered to provide students from the St. Louis Job Corps with the training necessary to give the high quality service Starbucks demands from its associates. Monique Williams from the Urban League was impressed with the St. Louis Job Corps students. “We have just completed the second successful cohort of students in the program. For the second time we have had a 100% graduation rate.” Students from several trades to include Culi-nary Arts, Business Administration, and TCU

have had a chance to improve their skills taking a class at the Ferguson Starbucks. Please congratulate the following students for taking their time to be success-ful. Carmelita Simms, Deandre Edwards, Gregory Woods, Jarena Robinson, Jorris Robinson, Nicholas Wilcox, Robert Thomas, Steve Brown, Tavia Hawkins, Tyra Wilkes, Tyson Cutts, and Yolanda Davis all com-pleted the Urban League Starbucks Customer Service Training program. “I really enjoyed the class and learned a lot,” stated Tyson a Culinary Arts student. Jarena (Culinary) responded, “This will really help me in my career.” With these new skills our students will increase their career success.

Arithmetic Reasoning tests the ability to solve basic arithmetic problems encountered in everyday life.

One-step and multistep word problems require addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and choos-

ing the correct order of operations when more than one step is necessary. The items include operations

with whole numbers, operations with rational numbers, ratio and proportion, interest, percentage and

measurement. Arithmetic Reasoning is one factor that helps characterize mathematics comprehension,

and it also assesses logical thinking.

Pause for a Moment St. Louis Standard Volume 2 Issue 33

PAUSE FOR CUSTOMERS Who Is Your Customer?

NOTICE TO ALL CUSTOMERS: In the practice of Pause For Inspiration we teach something called “Customer Service.” Only we frame it up in a BIGGER PICTURE.

We are all customers and we are here to provide one another with supreme customer service! You are my customer and I am your customer!

Practice The Pause and you will find your Inspired Mind giving SUPREME CUSTOMER SERVICE — BEING TRU-LY HELPFUL NOW! The 4 Decisions practice: Pause, Step Back, Step Aside and Let Inspiration – is more than a catchy phrase! You hold in your mind the potential to change the conversation, change the attitude, change the level of work being done, right here, right now. Succeed by exceeding the status quo! Last evening I stopped to fill my gas tank and there was a glitch in the pumps computer system due to a pow-er outage. The customers were swarming the cashier, upset and impatient – they just wanted their gas. The young man working behind the glass window could have easily lost his cool, but he didn’t! With calm and clarity he attended to each and every customer with clear instructions how to proceed. He didn’t blame the electric company, he didn’t tell us to come back tomorrow – HIS TRULY HELPFUL SELF HAD NO EXCUSES! I returned some Customer Service by acknowledging his patience and giving him a smile! What happened to the days of “Hi, may I help you?” “Is there anything else?” “Thank you.” “Let me see what I can do to solve the problem.” What is the real problem? The real problem is that most of us have for-gotten we have an Inspired Mind and this has become a real disservice to us all because your Inspired Mind has a genuine desire to serve.

Who Is The Pause Practice For? Everyone from the “top-down,” bottom up, behind the scene, on the scene. Everyone plays a role keeping the wheel in motion. “If you live in this world, you do business in this world. It is the business of living in the world. We are all customers in the business of living in the world.” Mary Lenihan, M.S. OTR/L, Co-founder PauseForInspiration.org RECEIVE FREE PAUSE TRAINING >>> Email: [email protected]

Summer Sun Safety St. Louis Standard Volume 2 Issue 33

Keep your family safe this summer by following these tips from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP)

FUN IN THE SUN

Babies under 6 months: Avoiding sun exposure and dressing infants in lightweight long pants, long-sleeved shirts, and brimmed hats that shade the neck are still the top recommendations from the AAP to prevent sunburn. However when ade-quate clothing and shade are not available, parents can apply a minimal amount of suncreen with at least 15 SPF (sun protection factor) to small areas, such as the infant's face and the back of the hands. If an infant gets sunburn, apply cold compresses to the affected area. For Young Children: Apply sunscreen at least 30 minutes before going outside, and use sunscreen even on cloudy days. The SPF should be at least 15 and protect against UVA and UVB rays. For Older Children: The first, and best, line of defense against the sun is covering up. Wear a hat with a three-inch brim or a bill facing forward, sunglasses (look for sunglasses that block 99-100% of ultraviolet rays), and cotton clothing with a tight weave. Stay in the shade whenever possible, and limit sun exposure during the peak intensity hours - between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Use a sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or greater. Be sure to apply enough sunscreen - about one ounce per sitting for a young adult. Reapply sunscreen every two hours, or after swimming or sweating. Use extra caution near water, snow, and sand as they reflect UV rays and may result in sunburn more quickly. HEAT STRESS IN EXERCISING CHILDREN The intensity of activities that last 15 minutes or more should be reduced whenever high heat and humidity reach critical levels. At the beginning of a strenuous exercise program or after traveling to a warmer climate, the intensity and du-ration of exercise should be limited initially and then gradually increased during a period of 10 to 14 days to accomplish acclimatization to the heat. Before prolonged physical activity, the child should be well-hydrated. During the activity, periodic drinking should be enforced, for example, each 20 minutes, 5 oz of cold tap water or a flavored sports drink for a child weighing 90 lbs, and 9 oz for an adolescent weighing 130 lbs, even if the child does not feel thirsty. Clothing should be light-colored and lightweight and limited to one layer of absorbent material to facilitate evaporation of sweat. Sweat-saturated garments should be replaced by dry garments. Practices and games played in the heat should be shortened and more frequent water/hydration breaks should be instituted.

NH CULINARY WHIPS UP EXCITEMENT IN WASHINGTON

Center Director Tamer Koheil reports that New

Hampshire's Culinary Arts program was once

more the talk of the town in Washington, D.C., as

students presented at U.S. Senator Jeanne

Shaheen's Experience New Hampshire event on

June 7. Students Chandler Harmon, Chris

Fudala, Hannah Perry and Nicole Down

attended the event, along with Mr. Koheil, Chef

Todd Zingales and CTT Manager Mark Urner.

Some students made their rounds, distributing

Maple Tea Cakes and Pecan Diamonds to attendees,

while others promoted their creations at the table.

The students also met with Members of Congress

and local businesses. Nice work, New Hampshire!

GLENMONT GUARDIANS GIVE BACK

BCL Ann Morin reports that Glenmont

students put their training into action in

responding to a man struck by a car at a blood

drive. Security student Ariana Semidey stopped

anyone from moving the man, while Destiny

Batista placed her jacket under his head, as she

had been taught. Several CNA and MAA students

helped watch over the man, as Destiny, Mayralee

Mantos and Jeramiah Mendoza directed traffic

until the ambulance arrived. The students did such

a good job with traffic control that police let them

continue even after they arrived. Great response, Glenmont!

CLAY MOLDS ST. LOUIS VOLUNTEERS

Not satisfied with only one week of Fables

coverage, BCL Jeffrey Taylor reports

that three St. Louis TCU students spent

some time with U.S. Representative

William Lacy Clay this week. Brandon

Michael, Jesse Ruis, and Christopher

Jones helped the St. Louis Agency on

Training and Employment set up the

Congressman's June Job Fair, registering

attendees and tending to their questions

throughout the event. When they weren't

busy helping attendees, the students met with employers and explained the

opportunities available at St. Louis. Rep. Clay said he was pleased with the

students' contribution and took time to discuss their goals with them.
