Heinz Endowments to Focus on CEED in Website Spotlight
Feature in December
CEED and our clients and programs will be featured for two weeks during the month of December on the Heinz Endowments website as part of the foundation’s Spotlight series on the programs it funds. Earlier this year CEED received a grant for $300,000 from the U.S. Commerce Department’s Economic Development Administration (EDA), which was generously matched by the Heinz Endowments for our Skills to Wealth program to provide assistance to small businesses in the region.
Starting on Dec. 5 and running through Dec. 18, each day will present a new article, picture or video about one of the small businesses that CEED has helped get started or expand, or one of the programs and services that we offer to the community.
“We are honored to be featured by the Heinz Endowments, which has been a believer and a supporter of CEED from the very beginning,” said Rufus Idris, Executive Director of CEED. “This will be a very good way for us to gain exposure for our clients and to reach a wider audience for our programs.”
CEED Client Chase Patterson Featured in New Pittsburgh
Courier Article
CEED client Chase Patterson has left his position working for Pennsylvania Congressman Mike Doyle to embark on a new business venture—Corporate Diversity Associates, a consulting firm that specializes in minority talent acquisition support services for corporations and institutions. The Courier article, which explains this in more detail can be viewed here.
Founded by Mr. Patterson with business planning support from CEED, CDA markets its clients as well as the Pittsburgh Metro Area at multiethnic national and regional conferences and conventions as well as colleges, universities, and high school campuses. CDA’s services are aimed at regional and national companies and corporations that are recognizing the value and importance of a diversified working culture.
With CEED’s support, CDA has obtained financial backing from an investor who shares in the belief in a coordinated effort to promote a diverse workforce and attract qualified candidates from around the world. “CDA firmly stands on the belief that it possesses the knowledge and strategy to provide exemplary support services for corporations and institutions that share in a belief of a diverse workforce,” according to its business plan.
CDA also offers its “At Home Pittsburgh” service, which showcases the benefits of living and working in the region for prospective candidates, as well as its cultural diversity by providing a pre-visit interview to evaluate the expectations of the candidate’s cultural, social, and professional desires and expectations.
Nice news
Its nice to hear the same news. It will really works for all.
Nice to read your blog
This is nice news
I have read saevrel good stuff here. Certainly worth bookmarking for revisiting. I surprise how much effort you put to create such a wonderful informative web site. Thank you so much.
I was reading the comments, and I absolutely agree with what Sam said.
Thanks for expressing your ideas with this blog. Likewise, a misconception regarding the financial institutions intentions if talking about property foreclosure is that the bank will not have my repayments. There is a fair bit of time in which the bank requires payments every now and then. If you are very deep within the hole, they may commonly demand that you pay the actual payment 100 %. However, i am not saying that they will have any sort of repayments at all. Should you and the loan company can seem to work one thing out, the particular foreclosure procedure may cease. However, when you continue to pass up payments in the new strategy, the property foreclosure process can pick up exactly where it left off.
You made some decent points there. I looked on the internet for the subject matter and found most people will agree with your website.
Hey! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this website? I’m getting sick and tired of WordPress because I’ve had issues with hackers and I’m looking at alternatives for another platform. I would be fantastic if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
After study a few of the weblog posts in your website now, and I truly like your approach of blogging. I bookmarked it to my bookmark website list and can be checking again soon. Pls try my website online as properly and let me know what you think.
I have learned new things from your blog post. Yet another thing to I have found is that typically, FSBO sellers may reject people. Remember, they will prefer to never use your providers. But if you maintain a gradual, professional partnership, offering aid and being in contact for four to five weeks, you will usually have the ability to win interviews. From there, a house listing follows. Cheers
Hello! Just want to say thank you for this interesting article! =) Peace, Joy.
