United Way announces program to help people strenghten careers
Jul. 10—WATERTOWN — The United Way of Northern New York has launched a new program that will help empower individuals to strengthen their 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 calling 315-788-5631, or emailing info@
