‘Back to Work’ resources help Michigan businesses find talent to fill available jobs
by White, Shannon (MDE) 04 Jun '21

04 Jun '21

May be of interest to libraries recruiting staff members during this time. Michigan.gov/BackToWork is the premier source for talent, workforce services [LEO Banner] --- PRESS RELEASE --- FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Friday, June 4, 2021 CONTACT: Camara Lewis<mailto:lewisc16@michigan.gov> <mailto:olsend1@michigan.gov>517-930-4928 ‘Back to Work’ resources help Michigan businesses find talent to fill available jobs Michigan.gov/BackToWork is the premier source for talent, workforce services LANSING, Mich.—As the economy continues to reopen, the Michigan Dept. of Labor and Economic Opportunity (LEO) launched a new ‘Back to Work’ effort to highlight programs and services that help businesses and their current workforce needs. The new online resource – Michigan.gov/BackToWork<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> – centralizes programs and services aimed at helping employers fill job openings, provide safe, healthy work environments for workers and address other business-related needs. “As Michigan's economic outlook continues to improve, and we get back to a new normal, our administration is turning our attention to uplifting Michiganders and supporting businesses in getting back to work,” said Governor Gretchen Whitmer. “We’re looking to the future. By providing tangible resources for businesses who need our immediate assistance after a challenging year, we ensure we build back even stronger.” The ‘Back to Work’ effort comes at a time when the state is faced with five predominant workforce challenges: 1. Demand for workers is high. 2. Labor supply is relatively weak. 3. Lack of significant wage growth. 4. Fear of COVID-19 – employees will not go back into workplace if they do not feel safe. 5. Lack of child care. To address the immediate needs of job providers and the workforce, employers can take advantage of free resources like the online portal to connect them with job seekers; Pure Michigan Talent Connect<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> and LEO-organized virtual job fairs that can be regional, industry or occupational-focused, matching job seekers to employers in a remote space. LEO continues to offer assistance through the MIOSHA Ambassador program<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> by providing free education to help employers create safe workplaces without the risk of any potential penalty or citation. Over 4,000 businesses have participated since September 2020. In addition, unemployment insurance (UI) benefits provided a wealth of economic relief to Michigan. Throughout the pandemic, most Michigan claimants went back to work well before they exhausted their benefits – an average of 14 weeks versus the full 20 weeks. Not only are UI benefits not a major workforce barrier, but the program resulted in $64.7B in statewide earnings, which helped contribute to the economic recovery. UI benefit programs like Work Share<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> allow employers to bring back or keep employees working with reduced hours. During the pandemic, Michigan had the No. 1 Work Share program in the country, preserving nearly 100,000 jobs and saving the State Trust Fund more than $90 million. The agency is currently working with state lawmakers to expand program flexibility to allow more employers to participate and more workers to be covered. “Throughout this pandemic we have prioritized businesses talent needs, and we continue to be committed to ensuring every Michigander has an equal and accessible opportunity to postsecondary education that leads to a good-paying, in-demand career,” said LEO Acting Director Susan Corbin. “By providing employers with services to find and develop skilled talent, we create lasting change for every Michigander seeking a better life.” The pandemic has created a growing child care crisis that threatens the state’s economic recovery. Many child care centers are still closed or reopening at a reduced capacity because of staff shortages and to allow for greater social distancing. Heading into the summer, many parents are concerned about child care availability. The state plans to use federal dollars to expand its pilot Childcare Tri-Share Program<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> that provides more affordable child care through an innovative, bipartisan cost-sharing program that divides cost equally between employees, employer and state. To further engage employers, LEO is hosting a virtual webinar geared toward highlighting services businesses can tap immediately and addressing their questions related to employment and training needs. The webinar is scheduled for Wednesday, June 9, from 10 – 10:45 a.m. To join, register at: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_TbEb9QxBQ8irnyYU1q5QQQ<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…>. In addition to tools to address your immediate workforce needs, employers looking to fill jobs and retain talent are encouraged to explore the state’s programs and services at Michigan.gov/BackToWork<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…>. ### [LEO Mission and Vision.

After a pandemic and amid continued tragedies of racist violence, teens and adults alike are called to heal and grow, to learn more, and to further conversations about history and justice. Through it all, books reflect and illuminate our lives, telling boundary-pushing stories that take publishing to the next level. The conference's author panels and library programming sessions will help you support and engage teens in this new moment and beyond. Attendees can explore the virtual exhibit hall, download materials, enter contests, hear directly from publishers about their newest books, and live chat with staff, authors, and peers.

Supporting Teen Services: Fostering Community, Programming, and Outreach eCourse<https://www.alastore.ala.org/content/supporting-teen-services-fostering-com…> - ALA More and more public libraries recognize that for their library to remain relevant to teens they must consider the way teens desire to interact, create, and drive their own library experience. Teenagers enter the library with a unique set of needs, expectations, and capacities that make them a vital and distinctive user group. To serve this population effectively, it's not enough to know how to answer their reference questions or acquire YA novels-you need to be able to work with teens, not just for them or alongside them. Offering a fresh perspective on teen services, this course covers everything from programs, psychology, and physical spaces to collections and getting buy-in from young adult patrons. Whether you are an experienced teen librarian seeking to revitalize your practice, or are new to serving teens, you will find this course beneficial. Jennifer Velásquez, Teen Services Coordinator for the San Antonio Public Library, teaches you how to use teen personalities, psychology, and innovative communication strategies to enhance your services and help teens take ownership of their library.

Tecumseh District Library - Legacy of Chief Tecumseh on Facebook Live
by Chuck Harpst 03 Jun '21

03 Jun '21

Tecumseh District Library hosts The Legacy of Chief Tecumseh and The Prophet on Facebook Live on Tuesday, June 8, 2021, from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. This special live event can be viewed from the library's Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/Tecumseh-District-Library-192148050127/. Award-winning historian and author Peter Cozzens will discuss his new book on Shawnee leaders Tecumseh and his brother, Tenskwatawa. Cozzens, a retired U.S. Foreign Service officer, will share his thoughts from Tecumseh and the Prophet: The Shawnee Brothers who Defied a Nation. The book is the Shawnee leader's first biography in at least 20 years; it is also the first to make clear that his misunderstood younger brother, Tenskwatawa, was an equal partner in the last great pan-Indian alliance against the United States. Author or editor of 16 books on the American Civil War and the Indian Wars of the American West, Cozzens in 2002 won the William R. Rivkin Award, the American Foreign Service Association's highest honor. This virtual historical lecture is made possible through the generosity of the Friends of Tecumseh District Library and The Tecumseh Herald. Tecumseh District Library invites all to this special event. The library is located at 215 North Ottawa Street. For additional information, call Chuck Harpst, Reference/Local History Librarian, at the library, 423-2238. The library's web site can be accessed at http://www.tecumsehlibrary.org.
