HR Works executive briefing spotlights Hillside teen-employment initiative

Feb. 25 forum offers employers opportunities to invest in young workforce


What do Zeller Electric, Wegmans, Dixon Schwabl Advertising and Wendy’s have in common?

Each of these companies is investing in the future of the local workforce as part of the Hillside Work-Scholarship Connection. The Hillside program places promising but under-supported teens in meaningful jobs, helping them achieve success in school, at work and at home.

To spotlight the program, HR Works, Inc., is presenting, “The Hillside Work-Scholarship Connection,” on Feb. 25 from 8:30 to 10 a.m. in the first-floor conference room at 255 Woodcliff Drive, Fairport. The program is free.

Led by Condenessa Barron of Hillside, the program will illustrate the benefits for companies that participate, as well as the tremendous boost for teens -– who otherwise may fail to achieve their career goals because their school, home and neighborhood environments are unable to provide vital support and opportunity.

“While the Hillside program is a boon for teens seeking to excel, it also gives employers an important way to invest in the community and provide role modeling for teens whose environments may fall short of the ideal,” says Kate Leunig, director of training and development at HR Works. “Employers that nurture teens by providing a positive work experience help develop a workforce that’s better prepared to contribute for a lifetime.”

Designed for senior managers -- including CEOs, company presidents, vice presidents, CFOs, controllers and HR executives -- the presentation is part of HR NetWorks: The Executive Human Resources Forum , a series created by HR Works to address advanced-level issues and case studies that directly impact organizations’ strategic initiatives and profitability.

HR Works provides full-time, part-time and interim HR managers; HR audits; legally reviewed employee handbooks and supervisor manuals; affirmative action programs; compensation programs; HR*Stars direct placement services; training; and more.
