The 9/11 Memorial invited Tuesday's Children's families to visit the site as a group and had their staff on hand to answer questions about the Memorial and the progress of the museum construction. Afterwards, family members joined us for a meal together at the Merchant's Cafe. One family member commented, "I just wanted to say thank you to you and your staff for such an emotional but beautiful day."

On May 24th, our Take Our Children to Work Day program held a career day at the National September 11 Memorial and Museum. Participants got a behind the scenes look at the Memorial and Museum where they had the opportunity to examine museum artifacts, learn how decisions are made regarding museum exhibits, understand the process of inscribing the names of those who were lost around the perimeter of the pools and see the plan and design of the museum. A highlight of the day was the opportunity to go underground, beneath the site, and tour the machinery that powers the memorial and the actual site of the museum construction. The Memorial staff shared their educational background with the participants and explained how their career path led them to the museum.

On June 7th, Tuesday’s Children’s Career Resource Center continued its event series and presented a “Career Networking Seminar for College Aged Students.” Given that networking is one of the most powerful tools for success in today’s challenging job market, the event was hosted at the Empire State Building LinkedIn Offices and focused on building a diverse group of professional contacts.
The LinkedIn team began the seminar with an interactive presentation on optimizing professional profiles. Participants learned about best practices on utilizing LinkedIn throughout their career search and discovered how to ensure employers view them as top candidates. Presenter Vincent Gatti, from AJAX Social Media, stressed the importance of taking advantage of this virtual doorway to connect with millions of other professionals and potential employers. One young adult shared, “I hadn’t realized what using LinkedIn opens up such an important job market. I really learned how to make the most of my professional presence on my profile and will be sure to continue connecting!”
After the informative session, attendees separated into small groups to partake in a unique Speed Networking Event. High level professionals from various fields shared their experience with each group of students. By engaging with these professionals in industries such as finance, communication, medicine, and many others, students received a wide range of helpful advice and referrals, enforcing the importance of developing their networking skills and expanding their contacts. One of our professional partners described: “There was so much connecting and networking taking place it was hard to keep track. The professionals and students were so passionate and engaged-- it was extremely impressive.” Another Tuesday’s Children young adult echoed these sentiments, “I feel really great about the networking I did tonight. It taught me so much. I’d recommend others come to these events to learn more as well!
A big thanks to John Hassett, Patrick Sullivan, and the entire LinkedIn team for all of their support, and to Fred Strobel and Lori Perillo at Morgan Stanley Smith Barney for facilitating the event!
