United Way announces program to help people strenghten careers
The program, titled Getting Ahead in the Workplace, begins on Aug. 6 and will be held on Wednesdays from 4 to 7 p.m inside the Flower Memorial Library.
"This innovative workshop is a natural extension of United Way's work with ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) families — hardworking individuals who are struggling to achieve financial stability. Getting Ahead in the Workplace provides ALICE workers and other under-resourced individuals with tools to build stability, grow in their jobs, and plan for long-term success," United Way stated in a news release.
The program will have participants building resources at home, in the workplace, and in the community; work on communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills; navigate hidden rules and unspoken expectations in the workplace; budgeting, debt-to-income analysis, and strategies for increasing economic stability; applying tools for negotiation, mediation, and managing change at work; and participants will also write a personal "Future Story" to help with long-term goals.
In addition to working on those aspects, participants are also going to connect with local resources.
Each participant, called an investigator, will receive a workbook, weekly $35 gift card incentive, a shared meal, and transportation assistance if needed.
Overall, there have been over 30 Getting Ahead cohorts that have served north country residents, but the first time it's been held locally, United Way stated in the news release.
United Way says to learn more by visiting unitedway-nny.org/getting-ahead/, calling 315-788-5631, or emailing info@unitedway-nny.org.

Soho House members' club nearing a deal to go private, WSJ reports
(Reuters) -A group of investors led by New York-based MCR Hotels is nearing a deal to take members' club operator Soho House private, the Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday, valuing the group at $1.8 billion. Soho House shareholders will receive $9 per share - a 17.8% premium to the closing price of $7.64 on Friday. The company is currently valued at $1.49 billion. The deal value is based on the company's more than 195 million outstanding shares. Billionaire Ron Burkle, who is a controlling shareholder, is expected to roll over his stake, along with several other shareholders, the Journal said. Apollo Global Management is expected to provide more than $700 million in equity and debt financing for the deal, WSJ said. Soho House, MCR Hotels and Apollo did not immediately respond to Reuters' request for comments outside business hours. Daniel Loeb, who runs hedge fund Third Point, in January urged SoHo House directors to run a "fair" sales process and consider other potential bidders after the hospitality group received a take-private offer late last year.
