Jerry truly lived life to the full- est through simple pleasures, telling stories with friends and family of his time as a SeaBee with the United States Navy, working on the railroad, and his long life in general.

Jerry had a way of helping people in need as well as getting them to chuckle from his wonderful storytelling.

Pandemic factors on grads work, college plans Victoria Neer Willamette Connections Academy COVID-19 changed life as we knew it. Even though the 2021 graduation season brought back a sense of normalcy, many Oregon schools held limited in-person or drive-through commencement ceremonies. This new way of celebrating such an important achieve- ment is a reminder that this year’s graduating class is still facing a level of uncertainty, like an unstable job market and apprehensive college plans. In fact, a re- cent opinion poll of parents nationwide conducted by Connections Academy found high schoolers pushed pause on typical teen milestones. Forty-two percent of high school students reevaluated their college plans, two-thirds aren’t dating and nearly half aren’t getting jobs or driver’s licenses, according to the report. Given this, it’s no surprise that more graduates than usual need a time out and are taking a gap year. The head of the Gap Year Association, Ethan Knight, re- cently noted, “I’ve seen data that says we might expect 400,000 youth taking a gap year this year. And nor- mally, we see close to 40,000.” Positive things can happen during the year a stu- dent defers enrollment in college, but having a plan is important. Gap years give students a chance to work and set aside money for college or volunteer for a favor- ite local charity. Additionally, fewer high school graduates appear to be enrolling in Oregon’s postsecondary institutions. There’s a 12 percent decrease in the number of high school seniors who applied for federal financial aid overall and a 44 percent drop for those planning to at- tend community colleges. Some high school graduates changed their plans to attend higher education in order to support their fam- ilies after their parents’ illnesses or job losses, while others had a hard time finding work to save up for col- lege. Still other graduates had their grades drop and they didn’t think they would qualify for financial aid assistance. Many students decide to pursue non-de- gree credentials, which help them become more at- tractive to employers. Examples of these include on- line-based IT courses for certificates in computer pro- gramming or web design. Work-based learning programs give grads a com- petitive edge in the job market.

These opportuni- ties for vocational or technical training can help young people get their foot in the door at a company and gain insights into their preferred career path. Given it often takes several years of higher education to get into certain professions, I encourage high school graduates to pursue college if that’s their chosen path. No matter where high school graduates are on their jour- ney, they should keep learning and experience new op- portunities. Having a plan for a career or college is great, but as we well know, things can shift. Although the pandemic is changing future plans for the Class of 2021, there were silver linings, like having extra time to explore career goals, develop new hobbies and explore learning in a new environment. Indeed, many graduates say going to school online helped them become more independent learners and have self-dis- cipline, both of which they believe will assist them in college or their career. On top of entering the workforce or preparing for their future careers amidst a public health crisis, today’s high school graduates are entering a rapidly changing world of work. Experts believe 85 percent of the jobs to- day’s graduates will be doing in 2030 haven’t been in- vented yet. Though the future of how we work is changing, there are certain key skills that will help prepare these young adults no matter what life may throw at them. Communication and collaboration.

Customer loyalty is a relationship: a customer pays you for a product/ service expecting a great experience in return. Cus- tomer loyalty is about giv- ing people, and yourself, the most important thing you can: trust. What is an example of customer loyalty? Primarily, customer loyalty is when a person interacts with a brand (or purchases a specific prod- uct or service) on an on- going basis. Wouldn’t it make life easier if we all had ongo- ing repeat business - all of the time. Of course it would. There is a clear differ- ence between a regular everyday customer and a loyal customer. Loyal cus- tomers provide ongoing business. They routinely come back. They invest in your time and they invest in your business. Why? Because they believe in you. Loyal customers come back not just because they like the product/ser- vice you have to offer, but because they feel emo- tionally connected. But let's get real. We have no way to see into the future, especially in an unpredictable market- place where the new nor- mal is working remotely. How do we build custom- er loyalty and trust from a distance? Trust comes from transparency, through sharing your vulnerabili- ties. Here are some help- ful truths about building more trustworthy rela- tionships that can save your business in a time such as this. h Be considerate – put yourself in your customer’s shoes and see things from both perspectives. h Be clear – out of re- spect, remove all phantom deliverables and make it clear what you are selling. h Be self-disciplined – invest your time in grow- ing your business. You reap what you sow. h Be well – take care of See LOYALTY, Page 3B
