It was an honor for Kevin Scholz and Tina Rock to have been invited to Inner-city Stars (IC Stars) lunch and round-table discussion along with several other business leaders in the community today. Thank you Dale Mittelstaedt, President of Red Arrow Labs, for not only hosting the luncheon, but providing an entire floor of your building for IC Stars to use for the year.
IC Stars is involved with identifying, training, and jump-starting technology careers for Chicago-area low-income young adults who, although lacking access to education and employment, demonstrate extraordinary potential for success in the business world and for impact in their communities. IC Stars hired a full-time Executive Director, Romke de Haan, to bring the proven Chicago concept to Milwaukee.
It was great seeing Romke de Haan once again, who is an excellent choice as Executive Director. We met Romke during an August event where he was a guest speaker at an event where Advanced Hires was a custom bronze level sponsor in August, 2017 at TechJobTour.
Advanced Hires is a state leader with respects to initiatives that involve preparing young IT individuals for a career in IT.
In addition to IT Stars, we are involved in so many ways when it comes to helping upcoming IT professionals including:
- IT United by the United Way
- National Center for Woman in Technology (NCWIT)
- Several high-school’s
- Employ Milwaukee
- Milwaukee Area Technical College (MATC)
- Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE)
- University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee (UWM)
- Department of Workforce Development
Additionally, Advanced Hires is involved with many other initiatives as seen on our “causes” page. We are involved with many initiatives not listed due to confidentiality and are becoming involved in even more that we will list. We believe we are involved and connected more than any IT recruiting firm in Wisconsin when it comes to preparing young people for a career in IT.
If you would like Advanced Hires to become involved in your initiative or you would like to get plugged in, please reach out to us. We are distinguishing ourselves as the leader in this area.
