00:02:37.500 --> 00:02:40.000
opinionated at this age there's no way you

don't have an opinion at this age you have

00:02:42.500 --> 00:02:45.000
an opinion on everything

00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:47.500
because when I sat in the classroom at this age I

00:02:47.500 --> 00:02:50.000
had an opinion on everything so

00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:52.500
did the teachers tell y'all to be quiet today

00:02:52.500 --> 00:02:55.000
did the principal tell you that you know

00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:57.500
you got to always be willing to share

00:02:57.500 --> 00:03:00.000
your thoughts and how you feel and that's

00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:02.500
with this initiative is all about this career

00:03:02.500 --> 00:03:05.000
Readiness because when you leave

00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:07.500
school when I left school I didn't know what

00:03:07.500 --> 00:03:10.000
I was going to do I bounced around it

00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:12.500
was a level of uncertainty I didn't have the

00:03:12.500 --> 00:03:15.000
skills that I was that was needed

00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:17.500
I was dyslexic did not even realize that

00:03:17.500 --> 00:03:20.000
uh until I got into college and

00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:22.500
it was just a level of uncertainty as

00:03:22.500 --> 00:03:25.000
I move forward and people used

00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:27.500
to laugh at how I read they used to State

00:03:27.500 --> 00:03:30.000
well you'll never be anything

00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:32.500
but you know what they were all wrong because you know what I am

00:03:32.500 --> 00:03:35.000
right now I'm the mayor of the largest and

00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:37.500
most important city on the globe and

00:03:37.500 --> 00:03:40.000
so the careers that you're going to learn is

00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:42.500
not only to have a job but you may start

00:03:42.500 --> 00:03:45.000
your own companies you may start

00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:47.500
your own industry you're going to use your

00:03:47.500 --> 00:03:50.000
skills in the diversity here to

00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:52.500
do the things that you want to

00:03:52.500 --> 00:03:55.000
do and some of the friends you have here you're

00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:57.500
going to know the rest of your life I know my

00:03:57.500 --> 00:04:00.000
third grade classmate

00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:02.500
we still interact now

00:04:02.500 --> 00:04:05.000
they helped me throughout my development and who I

00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:07.500
am so I want to thank principal Reed

00:04:07.500 --> 00:04:10.000
and our Chancellor and the entire team that's

00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:12.500
here because this is a crucial initiative

00:04:12.500 --> 00:04:15.000
that we're putting in place and the paid

00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:17.500
growth experience is an important part of

00:04:17.500 --> 00:04:20.000
that education it gives the

00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:22.500
students The Real World Experience because

00:04:22.500 --> 00:04:25.000
when you get out on a job market how

00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:27.500
people expect you to perform and

00:04:27.500 --> 00:04:30.000
operate is totally different from the

00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:32.500
setting that you do inside a classroom

00:04:32.500 --> 00:04:35.000
and that is the experience we want to give you but

00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:37.500
we want to do it and put money back in your pockets

00:04:37.500 --> 00:04:40.000
because it means a lot that's why we did the 100,000

00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:42.500
sum of Youth Employment because we knew

00:04:42.500 --> 00:04:45.000
that when you're able to make those extra

00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:47.500
dollars it allows you to do the things within

00:04:47.500 --> 00:04:50.000
your family uh that you may not be able to

00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:52.500
do we have been successful in

00:04:52.500 --> 00:04:55.000
this initiative and putting 18

00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:57.500
million dollars in pay the

00:04:57.500 --> 00:05:00.000
printer ship and work based learning experience

00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:02.500
since the start of this Administration

00:05:02.500 --> 00:05:05.000
3 years ago this is the

00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:07.500
largest amount in Korea aligned

00:05:07.500 --> 00:05:10.000
work for New York City public schools ever

00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:12.500

internships and mentorship

00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:17.500
ship should not just be for students who have the opportunities

00:05:17.500 --> 00:05:20.000
I didn't have the opportunity to be an

00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:22.500
intern internship is so

00:05:22.500 --> 00:05:25.000
crucial in your

00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:27.500

oh

00:07:57.500 --> 00:08:00.000
I'm a high school principal that was a pretty

00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:02.500
and good morning but I'm going to ask some of my students to do a

00:08:02.500 --> 00:08:05.000
little better good morning everyone

00:08:07.500 --> 00:08:10.000
and that good morning is so important

00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:12.500
appointment that you

00:08:12.500 --> 00:08:15.000
all should have knowing that you

00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:17.500
have a plan you are so far ahead of

00:08:17.500 --> 00:08:20.000
where I personally was when I was in

00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:22.500
high school I had no idea what I wanted to do all

00:08:22.500 --> 00:08:25.000
I knew is that I like to read and

00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:27.500
maybe I wanted to be a journalist maybe

00:08:27.500 --> 00:08:30.000
I wanted to be a teacher maybe I wanted to be a lawyer

00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:32.500
and then I went to college and I fell in love with

00:08:32.500 --> 00:08:35.000
medieval studies and I remember my mother told

00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:37.500
me what do you think you're going to do with a degree in

00:08:37.500 --> 00:08:40.000
medieval studies I

00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:42.500
mean I turned out okay but

00:08:42.500 --> 00:08:45.000
let's be clear

00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:47.500
it is very very frightening when you are

00:08:47.500 --> 00:08:50.000
in high school and in college and you

00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:52.500
don't know what your future is

00:08:52.500 --> 00:08:55.000
going to look like and you don't know where to turn

00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:57.500
to and what what is available

00:08:57.500 --> 00:09:00.000
to you and most importantly how are you going

00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:02.500
going to make money and how are you going to establish generational

00:09:02.500 --> 00:09:05.000
wealth which is long overdue

00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:07.500
in our communities right you

00:09:07.500 --> 00:09:10.000

years of CTE here in New

00:09:22.500 --> 00:09:25.000
York City public schools and as a former

00:09:25.000 --> 00:09:27.500
High School teacher principal and District leader

00:09:27.500 --> 00:09:30.000

00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:32.500
our students for these bold Futures

00:09:32.500 --> 00:09:35.000
beyond graduation is especially

00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:37.500
important and personal for me and

00:09:37.500 --> 00:09:40.000
my daughter is a student in New York City public school so

00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:42.500
I expect her to be as great as all of you when she gets to

00:09:42.500 --> 00:09:45.000
that age she's 10 so she's got a little time

00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:47.500
I know how critically important it is that

00:09:47.500 --> 00:09:50.000
our children leave high school with a set of real

00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:52.500
world Hands-On experiences

00:09:52.500 --> 00:09:55.000
that are directly connected to

00:09:55.000 --> 00:09:57.500
high demand career paths and

00:09:57.500 --> 00:10:00.000
I'm so proud that our off office

00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:02.500

00:10:07.500 --> 00:10:10.000
education and Technology

00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:12.500
and here at Chelsea

00:10:12.500 --> 00:10:15.000
CTE high school for instance students are

00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:17.500
gaining Real World experience and learning

00:10:17.500 --> 00:10:20.000
and networking computer systems and

00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:22.500
Telecommunications and graphic design so

00:10:22.500 --> 00:10:25.000
thanks to programs like this 1 our students are

00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:27.500

improving their Readiness for the real world and

00:10:47.500 --> 00:10:50.000
today's economy as just

00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:52.500
1 example New York City CTE

00:10:52.500 --> 00:10:55.000
schools saw a 94%

00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:57.500
graduation rate

00:10:57.500 --> 00:11:00.000

uh you all know uh

00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:47.500
I'm John Tabit I have been here at Chelsea actually

00:12:47.500 --> 00:12:50.000
for 36 years all my teaching career

00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:52.500
right and I opened

00:12:52.500 --> 00:12:55.000
the uh networking Academy

00:12:55.000 --> 00:12:57.500
from Cisco in 2000

00:12:57.500 --> 00:13:00.000
and got my first class uh through

00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:02.500
in 2001

00:13:02.500 --> 00:13:05.000
so the curriculum that is provided

00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:07.500
is a superb

00:13:07.500 --> 00:13:10.000
curriculum it's great when Cisco

00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:12.500
created it they engaged the best educators

00:13:12.500 --> 00:13:15.000
and the latest

00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:17.500
study results about education

00:13:17.500 --> 00:13:20.000
along with their Engineers to create the curriculum

00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:22.500
right it is multi-modal

00:13:22.500 --> 00:13:25.000
it

00:13:25.000 --> 00:13:27.500
includes uh videos it

00:13:27.500 --> 00:13:30.000
includes uh

00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:32.500
interactive activities uh self-checks

00:13:32.500 --> 00:13:35.000
of knowledge retain uh

00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:37.500
it is extremely well scaffolded

00:13:37.500 --> 00:13:40.000
there are on-ramps for students at

00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:42.500
all capabilities to get in and learn

00:13:42.500 --> 00:13:45.000
the material they use a simulation

00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:47.500
software which my students will of course recognize that's

00:13:47.500 --> 00:13:50.000
Packet Tracer all right and it

00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:52.500
has in using these techniques it

00:13:52.500 --> 00:13:55.000
is years ahead of general education because

00:13:55.000 --> 00:13:57.500
they were doing that uh when they started

00:13:57.500 --> 00:14:00.000
it back in 2000 uh

00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:02.500
actually 1998 I believe okay

00:14:02.500 --> 00:14:05.000
okay the curriculum itself

00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:07.500
with within the netacad uh trains

00:14:07.500 --> 00:14:10.000
both hands and the mind

00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:12.500
it develops critical

00:14:12.500 --> 00:14:15.000
thinking creative thinking

00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:17.500
it develops organizational skills

00:14:17.500 --> 00:14:20.000
uh problem solving

00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:22.500
um and on

00:14:22.500 --> 00:14:25.000
top of everything else collaborative teamwork

00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:27.500
students are then prepared to

00:14:27.500 --> 00:14:30.000
actually have a job

00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:32.500
out on the outside and know what it's like to be employed

00:14:32.500 --> 00:14:35.000
and that's key

00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:37.500
now the content is continually and rapidly

00:14:37.500 --> 00:14:40.000
being updated because of Technology

00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:42.500
changes okay uh Cisco

00:14:42.500 --> 00:14:45.000
obviously has a

00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:47.500
direct connection with the industry they're 1 of the leading

00:14:47.500 --> 00:14:50.000
industries of the uh provider of the equipment okay

00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:52.500
and they know the

00:14:52.500 --> 00:14:55.000
skills that the employers want and this drives

00:14:55.000 --> 00:14:57.500
uh the

00:14:57.500 --> 00:15:00.000
T the testing points within the C

00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:02.500
applications and Cisco certification is

00:15:02.500 --> 00:15:05.000
the gold standard of of the country of

00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:07.500
the world okay they have a Academy worldwide

00:15:07.500 --> 00:15:10.000
okay they teach it everywhere

00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:12.500
Okay so

00:15:12.500 --> 00:15:15.000
what you're going to find is not

00:15:15.000 --> 00:15:17.500
not only cyber security but you're going to find networking

00:15:17.500 --> 00:15:20.000
uh AI artificial

00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:22.500
intelligence datos and programming

00:15:22.500 --> 00:15:25.000
like Python and others

00:15:25.000 --> 00:15:27.500
they're all available through the academy okay

00:15:27.500 --> 00:15:30.000
so here at Chelsea I teach

00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:32.500
3 year sequence uh it

00:15:32.500 --> 00:15:35.000
begins with uh introduction

00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:37.500
to networking moves on to switching

00:15:37.500 --> 00:15:40.000
and routing Essentials and then

00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:42.500
moves into Enterprise networking and cyber

00:15:42.500 --> 00:15:45.000
security and these

00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:47.500
need to certifications such

00:15:47.500 --> 00:15:50.000
as the Cisco certified service

00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:52.500
technician for networking that's the ccst

00:15:52.500 --> 00:15:55.000
then the ccst for

00:15:55.000 --> 00:15:57.500
cyber security and the uh

00:15:57.500 --> 00:16:00.000
certificates of the latest bunch

00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:02.500
are on the bulletin board outside my room up there you've

00:16:02.500 --> 00:16:05.000
probably seen them but that's what they are and

00:16:05.000 --> 00:16:07.500
eventually of course the Cisco certified Network

00:16:07.500 --> 00:16:10.000
associate which is the next level up and

00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:12.500
these are the certifications that are in demand by

00:16:12.500 --> 00:16:15.000
industry and by

00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:17.500
getting those your application wise

00:16:17.500 --> 00:16:20.000
up on top of the stack

00:16:20.000 --> 00:16:22.500

00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:17.500
Marcia

00:20:22.500 --> 00:20:25.000
when

00:20:25.000 --> 00:20:27.500
you were talking to the students you

00:20:27.500 --> 00:20:30.000
told them that you didn't know what you wanted to be

00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:32.500
when you were growing up I wonder how

00:20:32.500 --> 00:20:35.000
you decided to enter this career

00:20:35.000 --> 00:20:37.500
that you have and given the fact that

00:20:37.500 --> 00:20:40.000
you're in a tough race to get reelected

00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:42.500
how you feel about the people who are

00:20:42.500 --> 00:20:45.000
entering the race Andrew Como

00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:47.500
Adrienne Adams and whether that will uh

00:20:47.500 --> 00:20:50.000
we regret your decision to get into this

00:20:50.000 --> 00:20:52.500
career that's a great

00:20:52.500 --> 00:20:55.000
question that's a good sneaky way too get

00:20:55.000 --> 00:20:57.500
a question in um and um

00:20:57.500 --> 00:21:00.000
you know would you ask um

00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:02.500
Marcia is so important because I believe

00:21:02.500 --> 00:21:05.000
in high school I had no direction

00:21:05.000 --> 00:21:07.500
I think as the chancellor stated I was

00:21:07.500 --> 00:21:10.000
just unsure uh you know going

00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:12.500
to school I don't know who's in this room has a

00:21:12.500 --> 00:21:15.000
learning disability uh but if you do

00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:17.500
you know how it feels uh you know like I said

00:21:17.500 --> 00:21:20.000
over and over again I used to walk into school and the

00:21:20.000 --> 00:21:22.500
back of the chair they would have the dumb student I used

00:21:22.500 --> 00:21:25.000
to get up every day and pray God please don't make me read

00:21:25.000 --> 00:21:27.500
because people would mimic me out throughout the

00:21:27.500 --> 00:21:30.000
whole day of how I stumbled

00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:32.500
over roads and how just I couldn't read

00:21:32.500 --> 00:21:35.000
and it was only

00:21:35.000 --> 00:21:37.500
because of the reinforcement of teachers

00:21:37.500 --> 00:21:40.000
like the teachers that you heard here and the

00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:42.500
strong principle uh that uh I

00:21:42.500 --> 00:21:45.000
discovered I was dyslexic and I was able to

00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:47.500
turn around uh that and I

00:21:47.500 --> 00:21:50.000
bounced around I was a mechanic

00:21:50.000 --> 00:21:52.500
uh I was uh host of other

00:21:52.500 --> 00:21:55.000
jobs I was a paper boy I worked in a restaurant as

00:21:55.000 --> 00:21:57.500
a dishwasher uh I you

00:21:57.500 --> 00:22:00.000
know I've did so many jobs and was

00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:02.500
unsure and was only after uh

00:22:02.500 --> 00:22:05.000
becoming a member of the NYPD that

00:22:05.000 --> 00:22:07.500
I found my drive of

00:22:07.500 --> 00:22:10.000
how Public Safety is important and along

00:22:10.000 --> 00:22:12.500
the way the way um

00:22:12.500 --> 00:22:15.000
they were just competition competition

00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:17.500
part of it there was so many so many haters

00:22:17.500 --> 00:22:20.000
but as I look over my life my haters

00:22:20.000 --> 00:22:22.500
are now my waiters as I sit at the table of success

00:22:22.500 --> 00:22:25.000
you know people can hate on you they can call you

00:22:25.000 --> 00:22:27.500
names they can do whatever they want no 1 can

00:22:27.500 --> 00:22:30.000
take away the fact that I'm the mayor of the most important

00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:32.500
whole city on the globe and so to all these young people

00:22:32.500 --> 00:22:35.000
who are going through something and people could

00:22:35.000 --> 00:22:37.500
tell you who you aren't but if you believe

00:22:37.500 --> 00:22:40.000
in yourself you could accomplish

00:22:40.000 --> 00:22:42.500
whatever you want and so I don't care about all

00:22:42.500 --> 00:22:45.000
these people who are in the race you know

00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:47.500
you got you got all these folks that are

00:22:47.500 --> 00:22:50.000
in the race I can care care less you

00:22:50.000 --> 00:22:52.500
know I got the crown they're trying

00:22:52.500 --> 00:22:55.000
to get the crown that I have and there's

00:22:55.000 --> 00:22:57.500
only going to be 1 May when

00:22:57.500 --> 00:23:00.000
I ran in 2021 there were a whole lot of

00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:02.500
people in a race that had more credentials than

00:23:02.500 --> 00:23:05.000
I did and they were probably thought that they were going

00:23:05.000 --> 00:23:07.500
to win but at the end of the day you only

00:23:07.500 --> 00:23:10.000
call 1 mayor and that's mayor Eric Adams

00:23:12.500 --> 00:23:15.000
you like to give these students about what you

00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:17.500
she went through all the the tough things

00:23:17.500 --> 00:23:20.000
that you had to go through although you called them the

00:23:20.000 --> 00:23:22.500
haters but how did you overcome that how

00:23:22.500 --> 00:23:25.000
did you overcome all those people who wanted

00:23:25.000 --> 00:23:27.500
to throw a you know something in your way to

00:23:27.500 --> 00:23:30.000
prevent you from doing what you're doing yeah these young

00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:32.500
people are are fortunate enough to have their parents in

00:23:32.500 --> 00:23:35.000
their lives you know my mother died in

00:23:35.000 --> 00:23:37.500
2021 when I was running for office and

00:23:37.500 --> 00:23:40.000
I remember 1 day she

00:23:40.000 --> 00:23:42.500
gave me uh this sign

00:23:42.500 --> 00:23:45.000
to put on my my bathroom

00:23:45.000 --> 00:23:47.500
um uh

00:23:47.500 --> 00:23:50.000
mirror and it

00:23:50.000 --> 00:23:52.500
was i m p

00:23:52.500 --> 00:23:55.000
o SSI b l

00:23:55.000 --> 00:23:57.500
e it was impossible

00:23:57.500 --> 00:24:00.000
and so when I sat there

00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:02.500
morning she said baby I want you to do something

00:24:02.500 --> 00:24:05.000
I want you to say the first

00:24:05.000 --> 00:24:07.500
letter and I said I and

00:24:07.500 --> 00:24:10.000
she said say the next letter and

00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:12.500
I said M and she said

00:24:12.500 --> 00:24:15.000
now say the word and it was possible

00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:17.500
she said what is impossible for others

00:24:17.500 --> 00:24:20.000
I am possible

00:24:20.000 --> 00:24:22.500
and I so

00:24:22.500 --> 00:24:25.000
that every morning that I got up and

00:24:25.000 --> 00:24:27.500
so people will say it's impossible for you to graduate from

00:24:27.500 --> 00:24:30.000
high school I saw

00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:32.500
my impossible it's impossible for

00:24:32.500 --> 00:24:35.000
you to do things I said I am

00:24:35.000 --> 00:24:37.500
possible so embedded in my mind every

00:24:37.500 --> 00:24:40.000
day you need to find that word that

00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:42.500
is going to inspire you no matter what it is and

00:24:42.500 --> 00:24:45.000
you need to live by it daily

00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:47.500
you need to become a part of you so

00:24:47.500 --> 00:24:50.000
part of me is I am possible

00:24:50.000 --> 00:24:52.500
things are impossible for

00:24:52.500 --> 00:24:55.000
others but nothing is impossible

00:24:55.000 --> 00:24:57.500
for me because I am possible

00:24:57.500 --> 00:25:00.000
and I live by that every day

00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:02.500
Julia

00:25:02.500 --> 00:25:05.000
how are you how are you she's

00:25:05.000 --> 00:25:07.500
from 10 t

00:25:07.500 --> 00:25:10.000
are

00:25:10.000 --> 00:25:12.500
you planning to use AI in

00:25:12.500 --> 00:25:15.000
your campaign and use that to

00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:17.500
research uh your opponent I

00:25:17.500 --> 00:25:20.000
I love that and um the the uh

00:25:20.000 --> 00:25:22.500
teacher was talking about Cisco Cisco qualification

00:25:22.500 --> 00:25:25.000
I'm blown away that these young people are going to be Cisco

00:25:25.000 --> 00:25:27.500
qualified uh that that qualification

00:25:27.500 --> 00:25:30.000
is that's the gold

00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:32.500
ended and when you get out you can make

00:25:32.500 --> 00:25:35.000
real money um from the

00:25:35.000 --> 00:25:37.500
career and congratulations to you on

00:25:37.500 --> 00:25:40.000
cyber security another good feel and uh

00:25:40.000 --> 00:25:42.500
we're going to look at artificial intelligence

00:25:42.500 --> 00:25:45.000
because the game has changed these young people

00:25:45.000 --> 00:25:47.500
are going to grow up on artificial intelligence and

00:25:47.500 --> 00:25:50.000
you know I was a when I graduated

00:25:50.000 --> 00:25:52.500
I was a computer programmer when I

00:25:52.500 --> 00:25:55.000
went into the police department I did computer programming and

00:25:55.000 --> 00:25:57.500
I wanted to be a computer programmer uh

00:25:57.500 --> 00:26:00.000
but we're going to look at how

00:26:00.000 --> 00:26:02.500
how do you enhance a campaign by using

00:26:02.500 --> 00:26:05.000
Ai and we're going to look for some of these young people that

00:26:05.000 --> 00:26:07.500
want to be an intern uh in

00:26:07.500 --> 00:26:10.000
City Hall and want to be an intern on

00:26:10.000 --> 00:26:12.500
other things that we are doing uh because they

00:26:12.500 --> 00:26:15.000
have the knowledge and the skill they not afraid of artificial

00:26:15.000 --> 00:26:17.500
issue intelligence and not afraid of using

00:26:17.500 --> 00:26:20.000
various form of social media but yes we're

00:26:20.000 --> 00:26:22.500
going to see how we can use artificial intelligence

00:26:22.500 --> 00:26:25.000
to enhance our communication uh

00:26:25.000 --> 00:26:27.500
to the public

00:26:27.500 --> 00:26:30.000
what's up how you doing

00:26:30.000 --> 00:26:32.500
good good

00:26:47.500 --> 00:26:50.000
so

00:26:50.000 --> 00:26:52.500
how do you think about

00:26:52.500 --> 00:26:55.000
yeah

00:26:55.000 --> 00:26:57.500
really great question thank you so much and I'm going to bring

00:26:57.500 --> 00:27:00.000
up our chief of Pathways Melanie Mack

00:27:00.000 --> 00:27:02.500
because we really pay very close attention to this um

00:27:02.500 --> 00:27:05.000
in the office and who better to speak about it than our

00:27:05.000 --> 00:27:07.500
own expert Melanie thanks

00:27:07.500 --> 00:27:10.000
uh thank you for the question uh this

00:27:10.000 --> 00:27:12.500
is probably my job number

00:27:12.500 --> 00:27:15.000
1 and our team's job number 1 is that

00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:17.500
that any decision we make uh related

00:27:17.500 --> 00:27:20.000
to the Future Ready career Readiness and

00:27:20.000 --> 00:27:22.500
modern youth apprentices that uh principal reads

00:27:22.500 --> 00:27:25.000
spoke about that Addison spoke about and as a participant in

00:27:25.000 --> 00:27:27.500
is that we are meeting industry standards

00:27:27.500 --> 00:27:30.000
and expectations uh we have

00:27:30.000 --> 00:27:32.500
really well-developed uh employer relationships

00:27:32.500 --> 00:27:35.000
employer councils that are

00:27:35.000 --> 00:27:37.500
uh organized by all of the sectors

00:27:37.500 --> 00:27:40.000
and look at real Labour Market information where what

00:27:40.000 --> 00:27:42.500
are the jobs that are growing um across New

00:27:42.500 --> 00:27:45.000
York City in the years to come that we want

00:27:45.000 --> 00:27:47.500
everybody here at Chelsea Tech to uh to be in

00:27:47.500 --> 00:27:50.000
line for in City uh students across the city and

00:27:50.000 --> 00:27:52.500
so these are very intentional data driven

00:27:52.500 --> 00:27:55.000
decisions done in partnership with employers um

00:27:55.000 --> 00:27:57.500
to look at uh the cyber security

00:27:57.500 --> 00:28:00.000
opportunities right here um at home in

00:28:00.000 --> 00:28:02.500
work as well as the openings within Healthcare

00:28:02.500 --> 00:28:05.000
uh Health and Human Services and in

00:28:05.000 --> 00:28:07.500
our own school system uh you know hopefully we'll

00:28:07.500 --> 00:28:10.000
have a shot at uh at hiring Addison 1 of these days

00:28:10.000 --> 00:28:12.500
given he's apprenticing within our our it
