Corporate Voices Explores the Business Case for Education in 2012 Civic Marshall Plan, Report to be Released at 2012 Building a Grad Nation Summit
Washington, D.C. (PRWEB) March 19, 2012
This week hundreds of participants will descend on Washington, D.C. to take part in the second annual Building a Grad Nation Summit and to welcome the release of Civic Enterprises’ 2012 Building a Grad Nation Report. Corporate Voices for Working Families is honored to have taken part in this year’s Civic Marshall Plan by lending its expertise to the 2012 report as it explores the ways in which the business community can participate in ending the high school dropout crisis through the Business Case for Education section.
For more than a decade, Corporate Voices has provided leading best-practice employers a forum to improve the lives of working families while strengthening our nation’s economy. Currently, Corporate Voices is engaging the business community in advancing talent development practices, postsecondary education completion and workforce readiness training through its Learn and Earn initiative. This initiative seeks to identify, promote and encourage innovative partnerships between employers, community colleges and other higher education institutions to help today’s “working learners”—often low-skilled young adults—complete their education while working.
“Forward-looking employers recognize the value of investing today to shape the best possible workforce of tomorrow,” said Corporate Voices’ Executive Director, John Wilcox. “The work of our strategic partners at Civic Enterprises highlights that employers who embrace innovative partnerships with educational institutions can provide a new generation of workers the immeasurable value associated with higher education, a rewarding career and the skills they will need to thrive in the uncertain global economy of the future—all while serving their bottom-line business needs and earning a measurable return on their investment.”
Corporate Voices will expand upon this vision as it participates in this year’s Summit alongside the Lumina Foundation and others. Executive Director and COO John Wilcox will explore how postsecondary education completion is necessary to prepare all students for a global economy.

SingleSource Background Screening Corporation’s
CEO Dymer Supports Florida Bill HB 1355
As Important Step To Stop Child Sexual Abuse
Jacksonville Beach, Florida (PRWEB) March 20, 2012
SingleSource Chairman and President Don Dymer applauds Florida Governor Rick Scotts bill (HB 1355) which imposes huge fines on public or private colleges and universities for willfully and knowingly failing to report child abuse. The new bill is in direct response to the cover ups at both Penn State and Syracuse university of child sexual abuse and the failure on the part of those administrators and law enforcement agencies to act upon they received about such abuse.
Dymer focused Florida’s attention on child sexual abuse by those entrusted to their care by sponsoring a day long educational conference in Jacksonville in February. Mayor Alvin Brown devoted the entire month of February to “Protect the Children”. “I sincerely hope that the conference and the continuing spotlight on this insidious crime against children will result in more legislation like this. There is still more that can be done and is being done. In New Jersey bills are being discussed to change existing statues of limitations on certain child abuse cases, making justice available to millions of victims.”
The Florida Bill addresses a key element addressed in the “Protect the Children Conference” last month and that is failure to communicate and react. Dymer explains,
According to the Child Molestation Research and Prevention Institute, 60% of adult survivors said they told no one about their abuse. More alarming is that according to this same report, when victims do report their abuse just 6% of adults will report it to the police and attempt to act upon the crime.
“The bill gets more to the heart of the problem in understanding how complex this issue really is.” explains Dymer. “It addresses the “environment outside of the home” in which the sexual abuse occurs. “We need to do more.” Dymer supports the recommendations of the organization, “Darkness to Light” in the continuing fight against child sexual abuse.
Protect the Children By:
✓Pay Attention – Too much one-on-one time? Does a child try to avoid certain staffers?
✓Create a Hiring Policy that includes the Diana Screen® is something Dymer strongly recommends. Hiring or seeking volunteers to work with children requires a special background screening and on-going screening policy to keep children safe.
✓Create Reporting Policies and follow them. Responsibility and accountability go hand in hand. Treat every report as a serious threat and develop a “zero tolerance” philosophy.
✔Understand the Impact. Not just on the victim, but on your entire organization. Learning of a sexual assault on a child creates shame and embarrassment and guilt on the part of co-workers. Fear of being brought into a litigious situation all effect the day to day operations of your organization. Your reputation and business may never recover. Non-profit organizations rely heavily on contributions to fund much needed products and services will see their revenue sources disappear.
✔Create One-on-One Policy. Give people access to those people in your organization who can be trusted to hear a report of abuse and act upon such information.
✔Train Employees and Volunteers. Be proactive. Learn about the warning signs of abuse and learn to recognize them in children and youth. Create an awareness on the part of your employees and volunteers to be on the look-out for suspicious behavior.
“Preventing child sexual abuse will not happen overnight,” notes Dymer, “but it must be worked on every day. Adults can stop this plague – children cannot – they are the victims”
SingleSource Services is located in Jacksonville Beach, Florida.The company provides background screening to over 2,500 business across a wide variety of industries and non-profit organizations. SingleSource was founded in 1995 and believes that backgrounds are like fingerprints and prides itself on its long term customer relationships and strong commitment to fulfill its corporate civic duties.
