Free Program for Metro Detroit Women to Learn Computer Skills Plus Obtain Employment-related Counseling in Fall 2023

A free four-week program for metro Detroit women who have been out of the workforce and need to learn basic computer skills, essential for many employment opportunities, and job search skills, will have an informational meeting on Sept. 7 at Gesher Human Services (29699 Southfield Road, Southfield MI 48076). The program, Springboard to Success, combines the nonprofit’s successful Women to Work program, which has helped thousands of women obtain work since the 1980s, with Gesher’s Computer Basics Class for job seekers. Women who believe their chief obstacle to successfully search for and secure a job is a lack of computer knowledge, can just take the computer training portion of the program. Earlier this year, a report from American Progress stated that despite women’s employment levels having returned to pre-pandemic levels, having minor children at home still disproportionally reduces a woman’s employment opportunities. Springboard to Success will begin on Sept. 12 and run on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 a.m. to noon, ending on Oct. 5. For more information go to www.geshermi.org/womentowork. “With inflation and mortgage rates so high, we know that many moms are now thinking about going back into the workforce this school year to help their family’s budget,” explained Employment Specialist Judy Richmond, who is the Women to Work coordinator. “There can be many obstacles to a woman getting appropriate employment, especially when their children are young, and we are able to provide the vital skills they need to land a job which works for them, whether it is full-time, part-time, or remote.” The program is completely free and includes: • Computer basics: creating, editing, saving, and moving files; keyboard and mouse usage; navigating the internet; translating tech terms; the cloud; safety • In-depth vocational assessment • Employment-related group counseling and emotional support • Help with networking, resume writing and interviewing • Stress management • Information and referrals to support services Richmond added that stress management is an important part of the program because of the added pressures so many women have faced in recent years from the pandemic and the economy. “Many women remain their family’s primary caregivers, whether that is for children or looking after elderly relatives, and we know that to be successful at balancing work and family, keeping stress in check is vital,” she explained. Women to Work was a program founded in the 1980s to help women who suddenly needed immediate employment due to bereavement, divorce, loss of a spouse’s job or other similar situations. The program has helped more than 2,000 women in Wayne, Macomb and Oakland counties prepare themselves to get back into the workforce.

'Lean in' with Liz and Mean Jean from 105.1 the Bounce Talk about the Latest in Lizzo and More

Would you sign up for 'Only Fans'…or step out your comfort zone... if it meant making millions? Apparently the answer in Hollywood for a lot of folks is…YES! If you haven’t heard of the adult only subscription site it is growing more and more popular and depending on who you’re subscribing to…and what you’re subscribing for…some of ethe content can get pretty raunchy….but at a price… Well, It appears more and more celebrities are raking in MILLIONS by launching accounts. Some of the top earners in 2023: Black Chyna made 20 Million at 19.99 per month, actress Bella Thorne made 11 million, Carbi B made 9.4 million at 4.99 per month…the list goes on from reality stars, to veteran actors, singers, etc. I just read Sopranos actress 51 year Drea De Matteo signed up and is charging 15 bucks per month for a subscription to her exclusive content. Michael Jordan's son Marcus, made headlines a few weeks back, when he told TMZ that he and Larsa Pippen, the ex wife of his dads former teammate, Scottie were planning their wedding. They've since clarified that they're not officially engaged. Larsa says that she doesn't believe that MJ would attend their wedding. Pippen is 17 years older than Marcus. Do you have a problem with their relationship? Lizzo is clapping back…or so we hear she plans to! Fromer members of Lizzo’s team, including a handful of backup dancers, sued the singer for host of things including alleged sexual, racial and religious harassment and more. Well not the grammy award winning singer’s legal team is stepping…last week her lawyer released pictures of 3 of the dancers name din the suit quote “happily cavorting backstage” on the tour they claim they were quote “pressured” into attending. Apparently Lizzo’s team has more evidence refuting their accusations as well. Is it too late to restore Lizzo’s reputation or has cancel culture won?
