We had an amazing day today @teeninnovatorsbldg92. We were mostly introduced to the Employment Center in Building 92 in the Brooklyn Navy Yard. We met the Internship Coordinator, Laquan Robinson, and he explained to us the main purpose of the Employment Center, which is to distribute jobs and overlook such jobs in the vast majority of the Brooklyn Navy Yard. He also distributes internships to students for the many companies in the Navy Yard, like Construction Kids. We also met Regina Lindsey, who also played a crucial part in the employment of job seekers along with Laquan Robinson. We also met the CAO, the Chief Administrative Officer of the Navy Yard, Jocelynne Rainey, who is #2 on the ladder of this prestigious place. All three of these people taught us the importance of working hard to achieve greatness and to never give up.

Here is our culminating skit. Please enjoy!

Today we were visited by the Navy Yard employees, Nicole Tarpi, Counsel, Elliot Matz, Chief Operating Officer, EVP,  and Shani Leibowitz, Senior Vice President, Development and Planning. They were up to answer questions we had for them as well as give advice for our up and coming future. We believe the best advice they gave use was to follow are passion no matter what it is. It’s better to do something you love and not get paid as much as doing something that pays a lot of many but it’s something that you can’t stand. The major take away we got from this is have a sense of perseverance. No matter how hard it gets, we have to push through the obstacles. With that mind set we will all grow to do great things and we’re glad these amazing people taught us that today
