I am me.
The me is here to help you.
This is Jhori Stallworth.
And she's WFSU's social media specialist, working specifically on the American Graduate Jobs Explained project.
So it's a program almost like an initiative that is supposed to bring aid to Gen Z students, high schoolers.
Listen up.
Lend me your ear.
Are you interested in anything like being a vet tech?
It's our station and nine other stations that are partnered up doing this initiative, and each station was assigned a career path.
So we have anything from transportation to green jobs to aerospace.
And WFSU has health care.
Hey, yo.
Hey.
Welcome to the day in the life of a traveling nurse.
We have two hospitals.
We have three colleges that really focus on medical fields like nursing and health care management and things of that nature.
So we found it best to target that career path and we be able to provide the most resources.
We use Instagram and other stations to use Instagram and TikTok to provide different videos, reels about their particular field.
So we do comical.
I use the comedy route for my content.
I love it.
I mean, I'm so passionate about it and it's what I do.
What's happening?
And we do comical things, informational graphics, pictures, interviews.
We talk to different students.
I got my bachelor's first at Florida A & M as well as my dental assistant certifications through a ten week program.
But there's also programs that are longer or I started here, I was actually working in higher education.
I was a dual enrollment coordinator for Florida A&M.
So many kids, especially with COVID, it's just it's been a lot lost in translation for this new generation.
And I feel like being able to reach them where they're at and tell them how to get into the future that they want and that it is possible.
That's why I enjoy the job and I feel like other people getting behind it would make this initiative huge.
It should be in every school.
Every kid should know about it.
It should be a tool for all students outside of the guidance counselor.
Hey, guys, we're here and we're out of work.
And I'm here with.
In addition to videos on Instagram, Jhori heads out to events like World of Work at TCC, where she can share her own work in technology, in social media, as well as help kids learn about health care careers.
She learned a thing or two as well.
First of all, it was so cool because it had a ton of different stations and activities across the the area, which I thought was awesome.
I became an OBGYN.
I learned how a baby comes out.
I got to deliver a baby.
I got to be a surgeon and use this sort of technology where it's like a robot that you hook your hands in and it can grab the smallest amount of things and do very detailed work.
