It's great that you guys are doing all these outreach efforts, but you both did not highlight the written materials part So it'd be good to know as you're reaching out and collaborating, do you also include information that they could implement within written materials that they give to students?

So the outreach that we do with the community students, during every session, we're doing information sessions, we're providing them with a single service 101.
1:12:48
We are providing them with the notice of exams depending on the session.
1:12:52
We're also providing them with the exam schedule kind of a Summarry sheet of how to move through the application process to work with city government.
1:13:01
We're providing them with FAQs, brochures, So depending on the nature of the event, we do provide them with a lot of different resources and also link them to places.
1:13:10
We have videos on how to actually submit an application on OASIS.
1:13:14
So we do a lot in terms of not just speaking to them, even if we're just seeing them at a career fair for 2 minutes.
1:13:20
We're still following up to provide them with additional information.
1:13:23
We also have a newsletter, jobs newsletter that is sent out every month.
1:13:28
And for folks that are signed up and our career services partners, they get information on the current exams that are open for filing each month.
1:13:36
The opportunities that are available, the citywide or city sponsored recruitment events that are happening, as well as information on any kind of fellowships or internship that are available.
