Following last month’s announcement of an unprecedented joint venture to create job and economic opportunities for Camden residents as part of Cooper’s $3 billion expansion, George E. Norcross III, the chairman of the Board of Trustees of Cooper University Health Care, announced that Cooper has begun an outreach program to Camden residents to sign up for job training opportunities. "When Camden’s renaissance began just over a decade ago, it was clear there were three things that needed to be done for the city’s future: dramatically improve public safety, expand access to high-quality education options and create economic opportunity for city’s residents,” said Norcross. “Programs like this unprecedented partnership with the Carpenters, as well as Camden Works, which disseminates a weekly listing of all job openings for every public and private city employer, are an important part of ensuring that Camden once again becomes a place where people not only want to live, but where they can start a well-paying career.” Click here to read more: https://ow.ly/tIZk50TMxhm

As is the case in many places across the country, my hometown of Chicago has long struggled to address racial and economic inequities. In considering where we are today I am encouraged by our highly engaged and civic minded business community, along with organizations such as #CorporateCoalitionofChicago and #JustActPartners that are working with businesses to advance equity.  Recognizing Chicago’s communities are rich with assets that can uniquely meet business and talent challenges, they launched Invest Together (https://lnkd.in/gkg9MgAk). This new effort seeks to identify employers who might be willing to move jobs to the South and West sides of the city and matches those employers with development projects seeking corporate tenants. This week I joined a neighborhood tour of four South and West side community development initiatives. All are in different stages, and all have tremendous promise. These initiatives will contribute significantly to creating more equitable and vibrant communities, bringing jobs and wrap around services. And their approach of engaging communities in the planning process will help ensure sustainability. Here are some details about the initiatives: Greater Grand Crossing: https://lnkd.in/gzRZdjRu Woodlawn: https://lnkd.in/gfzatrMc West Garfield Park: https://lnkd.in/gdMCYmNN & https://lnkd.in/gpCHsHYc North Lawndale: https://lnkd.in/gTBiF39G This is just a sampling of the great work being done by so many across the city. Very grateful for the individuals and organizations committed to making a real difference towards equity. #Advancingequity #BusinessUNusual #PlaceBasedInvestments

Sending the Department of the Premier and Cabinet (Queensland)’s 50 Policy Futures Graduates out into the public service this week to start their rotations through departments. My advice to them last week: 🍍Public service is a verb. 🍍Political views are ok, even strongly held ones, as long as you leave them at the door and act impartially in your role. 🍍Give frank, fearless and sound advice. 🍍We serve the government of the day, but our first loyalty is to the people of Queensland. 🍍Process is part of public service- we deal with public money after all. But those who stand out use process to find a way to done and get results. 🍍There’s meaning and purpose in a public service career. But sometimes it takes a few role changes to find it. Don’t settle until you do. Life’s too short. #2024policyfutures #graduates
