PROJECTS WE SUPPORT

Jobs for Baby-Boomers

With unemployment rates still in double digits in many parts of the country, if you are a Baby-Boomer, you might be thinking about a career change, but going back to school for a degree might be beyond your means— whether is financially or emotionally.  You may feel protected by unemployment benefits and assistance that workforce agencies provide for a while, but their overloaded caseworkers pipeline doesn’t facilitate for you to set a coaching appointment or get a call back.  We must change the outlook by providing real-life training opportunities-- those you don't learn at school but in real-life experiences.   

Jobs for Millennials

If you are a millennial, the misperception that young people do not care about hard work and that all they do is to master social media and text-messaging, it is nothing further from the truth.  Young people are creative and have the ability to cross-train themselves without the accruing of businesses’ high investment on training.  This is a plus on this generation.  We just have to guide them in the right direction to find meaningful jobs.

Plan of Action:  Help employ 300 people in Tampa Bay in 2010

Long-term unemployment has made a tremendous impact on the American national character.  The Carmen Bracamonte Foundation is learning through research and analysis that the Baby-Boomer and Millennial generations battle the most— the unprecedented consequences of joblessness.  This is why — our foundation wants to help employ 300 people in Tampa Bay in 2010.  We will leverage on business relationships and real-life training opportunities to help individuals update their skills and successfully land new jobs.
