Gerald Chertavian Quotes

I’ve never been afraid to make a polite ask to someone Picture Quote #1

Many of our students say, ‘We wish we had a mentor in high school. We wish we had someone we could spend more time with, who paid more attention to us, who I could sit down with and talk to when I had a problem.’ So relationships are critical Picture Quote #1

When we think about the workplace, people think about hard skills being dominant, but they’re not. The employer realizes knowledge will shift quickly, and there’s a half-life to knowledge in this world Picture Quote #1

Many training programs and often schools focus on just a skill or a kind of work competency. That’s only half the equation Picture Quote #1

It’s not always the case that doing what’s right is also doing what’s smart, but when it is, the question of ‘what to do’ should be pretty simple Picture Quote #1

Our young immigrants have a lot to offer. They are motivated and hard-working, and in many cases have already contributed significantly to our society - by excelling in school, by volunteering in their communities, or by serving in the military Picture Quote #1

College today is an expensive option without a lot of economies of scale, right, when you go and live at a college. So you have a system that’s increasing its cost base by probably five percent a year Picture Quote #1

When it comes to expanding opportunity, businesses and young adults are not the sources of the problem - they are a substantial part of the solution Picture Quote #1

The Opportunity Divide doesn’t just keep our students disconnected from the mainstream economy; it prevents our businesses from growing Picture Quote #1

The millennial generation and a growing number of employees are looking for more than just a paycheck. If a nonprofit could make that easy for me, they are doing me a favor. It’s not just a one-way value exchange; it is an internal morale building opportunity Picture Quote #1

The saying in business is that, ‘You hire for skills and you fire for behavior.’ And one would argue that in order to move up in career, to be promoted, to take on additional responsibility, in many ways that’s linked more to the attitudes and behaviors that you carry rather than what you know technically about a given subject Picture Quote #1

You can learn what you want to learn through hard work. And a good employer will teach you what you want to learn as long as you show the right attitude and behaviors Picture Quote #1

You have, unfortunately, a K-12 educational system where the requirements to graduate are not the requirements to be college and career-ready. So if you want young adults who are college and career-ready, our K-12 system right now does not have that as its standard Picture Quote #1

As we say at Year Up all the time, investing in our young people is not just a matter of economic justice. It’s good business sense Picture Quote #1

Mentors provide professional networks, outlets for frustration, college and career counseling, general life advice, and most importantly, an extra voice telling a student they are smart enough and capable enough to cross the stage at graduation and land their first paycheck from a career pathway job Picture Quote #1

One can fall into the soft bigotry of low expectations Picture Quote #1

You can’t give until you have Picture Quote #1

Businesses are no longer receiving the cost savings from outsourcing that they once did Picture Quote #1

I was taught very early on how you treat people is actually what matters Picture Quote #1

The best thing we can do for a young person is to expect a great deal from them Picture Quote #1
