There’s nothing like spending time in-person with your teammates! As a fully-remote company, we’re always grateful for the opportunity to come together and celebrate each other and our community. Most of our team was able to meet up in Denver this week to say “Aloha” to summer and the second half of the year— our goals are audacious but together, we’re unstoppable!

BreakLine Education reposted this
“A startup is a ridiculously, wonderfully complicated, exciting experience.” I’m thrilled to share BreakLine Education’s fireside chat with Chris Mahl, President and COO of Pryon. Pryon is developing a best-in-class knowledge management platform, transforming complex, unstructured data from multiple sources into solutions for leading enterprises and government agencies. Chris dove into a range of topics during this fireside chat, from his professional journey, to how to spot and avoid "the martini shaker of confusion" during a tech bubble, to the AI-driven transformation and impact we’re currently experiencing. He also emphasized how essential passion is to any startup's success, and detailed how he spots it in others. Chris - Thank you for joining me and the BreakLine community for this conversation. We are delighted to share your perspective on the industry, and all of its complexity, dynamism, and opportunity! Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/gsy2JPj8

Check out the latest thought leadership from our CEO & Founder Bethany Coates!
We often help our partners cut the length of their recruiting cycle by 50% or more. Here is an example of our work with a partner that now hires within 27 days. As BreakLine applies our methodology to large-scale workforce development initiatives, we view time-to-hire as one of the most critical metrics to get right. An extremely powerful league of educators in this country are the hiring managers and people leaders who employ and train their teams. Senior leaders will often say that they spend at least half of their time on a combination of recruiting and developing their colleagues. When it comes to workforce development, efficiently connecting people with jobs in their field of choice enables them to develop and expand their skill sets while also earning for themselves and their families. For many job seekers, we recommend a paradigm shift away from envisioning education and employment as two separate pursuits, that are often completed sequentially. Instead, BreakLine views employment as its own form of education, which is the reality in every company across the nation. Our programs are therefore designed to help job seekers find work as quickly as possible. What does on-the-job training look like in practice? Many workplaces provide formal programs for onboarding, professional conduct, promotions, and other reasons. Beyond that, performing on the job every day, coupled with the feedback and coaching that managers and peers provide on their teammates' daily successes and failures constitutes a rich, deeply insightful form of ongoing training that helps people rapidly deliver and progress in their field. So many Americans are underemployed or live paycheck to paycheck, and view education as their ticket to financial security. We should do everything possible to accelerate their ascent to socioeconomic mobility. Connecting people with quality jobs as quickly as possible should therefore be part of any high-impact workforce development strategy.
