Berning Marketing partners with local community groups, sponsors job site visit for Arthur Ashe Students
(METAIRIE, La.) –Remember what it was like to be in 8th grade and wonder about the world of work? Do you remember wondering what you might be when you grew up and what you would need to learn to prepare for a career? Through participation in New Orleans Outreach’s Power Ties program, Arthur Ashe students recently learned what type of preparation is needed for careers in marketing, advertising and communications during a recent job site visit to Berning Marketing on Friday, May 14.
Job site visits are part of the Power Ties program of New Orleans Outreach, in partnership with the Young Leadership Council. The Power Ties program introduces young people to various careers, helps them create a professional resume of their qualifications and gives them the tools needed to seek future employment. Students participate in mock interviews with Young Leadership Council volunteers, learn how to dress professionally and visit various businesses to experience the working world.
Students received valuable information during their job site visits about which classes they need to take in high school, what colleges or technical programs they should consider and the expected salary in their chosen field.
“Besides enhancing the job search skills of students, Berning Marketing believes in participating in programs where relationships are formed between students and the community,” said Eddie Brown, Berning Marketing public relations director. “We hope students will gain a better understanding of what’s involved in our industry, but we also hope to get a better understanding of what we need to do to keep our talent in New Orleans,” Brown added. Claudia Barker, executive director of New Orleans Outreach, agrees.
“The participation of volunteers greatly enhances the program’s value,” said Barker. ”The students become resources – potential interns and employees of the businesses that volunteers represent.”
