New Advisory Community Available to Help Young Workers
January 7, 2008
By the time they hit their 35th birthday, young workers today will have held between 9 and 12 jobs on average. Our parent union, SEIU, has developed an interesting new online community to advise these young workers as they job-scotch through their life careers.
The community, called Qvisory, is a non-profit organization that "supports the money, work, and health goals of American workers, particularly young Americans," through advocacy, education, and services. It is a kind of safety net that overlays the frayed webbing of the net of their parent's generation.
The target audience is 18-35 year olds, and the community is open to union members and nonunion members alike.
People interested in joining Qvisory pay a fee of $36; however, NAGE is offering 50 paid subscriptions to members. State members may subscribe to the program themselves, or give the subscription to a family member or friend. The recipient need not be a union member.
To learn more about the community, go to Qvisory.org. If you would like a free subscription, please email your request to statepresidents@nage.org. Free subscriptions will be provided on a first-come first-served basis.
