Entering a job market that was not created to receive their talents, skills, skin or knowledge is a painful one. But we are here to support them in the process, and change and disrupt the system. If not now, when?
Terri Carr, director of the Career Education and Development office, shares a statement of support for Black and Latinx people that are discriminated against in the job market.
Black and Latinx people are highly discriminated against throughout their college-to-career experience.
Entering a job market that was not created to receive their talents, skills, skin or knowledge is a painful one.
But we are here to support them in the process, and change and disrupt the system. If not now, when?
This is the time that we make the change, this is the time that we provide the true support to expand the social capital of the students that we bring in... I cannot take on the system of discrimination alone.
However, in the place of my practice, in career services, in Career Education and Development here at Stockton, alongside with institutional agents, my community partners, faculty and staff, together we can cultivate a strategic effort to support Black and Latinx students and their college-to-career transition.
