When I visited Jefferson County High School this winter, juniors chanted in unison during an academic during an academic pepper out.

00:03:04.240 - 00:03:26.890

And you can almost issue almost go off the cut here, talking. So okay. And their slogan. No, you can depend on us to get the job done. Because when it comes to education, we're number. One weeks ago, Houston was down by about five points. Last time I saw a number on the screen.

00:03:26.900 - 00:03:53.660

I don't think any coach should get away with what he does just present a good coach, you know? Well, yeah, right. Good morning, everybody. How are you doing today? Good. Okay. You ready? Members of the Florida Legislature, Fellow citizens. A year ago when we met in joint session of the Florida Legislature.

00:03:54.240 - 00:04:18.760

We recognize the system. Work by your vote. You have put more police officers on the street. More prosecutors and defenders in the courts, more judges on the bench and more criminals behind bars. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement values through perseverance, courage and foresight. You and I will stand together, and together we will win.

Hello, Sin. Reverend Clergy, members of the Florida Legislature and fellow citizens. Why don't we say what we say?

00:05:29.570 - 00:05:51.950

Florida's banks will grow and prosper, and something more than survive. Survive is sort of a negative. Prosper. Florida's banks will grow and prosper during the transition to full national interstate banking. This doesn't governor say in words that they understand what you're trying to say. The word is growth management.

00:05:51.960 - 00:06:15.290

We can do that, Governor. Right After right before the purposes. And in this session, we must provide resources. Let me make a better suggestion. Arrogant, though that sounds, um, why don't we say managing our growth is like building a home? When I visited Jefferson County High School this winter, the juniors chanted in unison during an academic pep rally.

00:06:15.300 - 00:06:38.480

Their slogan, You know, you can depend on us to get the job done, because when it comes to education, we're number one. Say your number one. Say it loud one. We are proud one. You got it. Number one. It's a good charge. Thank you. We're number one.

00:06:38.490 - 00:07:40.530

Oh, my God. Thank you, John. Did you get the kind of reaction you wanted from your speech? Especially the part about Jefferson County and the Amendment and the citizens choice. And yes, he did. Mm hmm. Well, I think whenever you can Yeah. Mhm, probably. Mm. It's a very good 123 123 Oh, okay.

00:07:40.530 - 00:08:11.560

Lets go. Anybody hungry? I think it will happen eventually. You know, in the automobile area, there is no county money in this project at all. So we had to accommodate $17.5 million with the enthusiasm of the Caribbean. That's what I said. Wait a sec. If I'm drilling, you can see the drilling on the big Cyprus.

00:08:12.030 - 00:08:24.780

There's the road into the big sign. It needs to go on the other year. Yeah, I don't know. I think you're doing around that. That's fine. Not going to be terminal teas now, Lenny, are we? We don't have time doing at the top of the show.

00:08:24.920 - 00:08:43.320

10 seconds. Standby. Dwight, 1984. Session opened up with the governor's State of the state address down by. We'll have more on the legislator tonight on the News Centre two at 11. But for right now, with a live satellite report, I'm Ed McDonough News Center to in Tallahassee.

00:08:47.940 - 00:09:12.100

Oh, I think I got that 1 g called for a review of Florida's tax system, the first sign of a concession regarding the system and government spending. Call it what it's prudent at this point. Ask ourselves about we need to be moving on scale. Andrews Channel six.

00:09:12.100 - 00:09:45.060

Eyewitness News at the Florida Cap, Jury Selection and the state law. How was your day? Today is a good day, Joe. I enjoyed it. The the emotional flow of the day. There's a lot of maybe unfelt energy that starts to build up just before the speech, I guess just like anybody in sports or in your business that before you're going to be on for a major performance, you start to pump.

00:09:45.440 - 00:10:06.050

Uh, that carried over until the late afternoon, and then all of a sudden you sort of begin to slide into relaxation. That's where I am now. I'm sliding. Do you worry? Are you concerned with how the media sees you, Bob Graham. I don't go to bed worried about what somebody has or may say about me.

00:10:06.240 - 00:10:30.660

One of the things frankly that this medium of television has done is it's given people an opportunity to make their own judgments about public officials, not judgments that are filtered through other people's screen. Well, now we've read the polls. We've read the the claims, the newspapers and TV stations All the time was saying, Bob Graham's gonna run against Paula Hawkins in two years for the U.

00:10:30.660 - 00:10:51.600

S. Senate. Can we find out? Tonight is tonight. Tonight you're gonna make that announcement. You're going to do that? No. Why should I be thinking about something that's not going to happen until 1987 when I've got so many, uh, exciting, interesting, personally rewarding things to do today?

00:10:51.610 - 00:11:11.300

Do you want to be president? Would you like to be president? I guess that question is like asking somebody in your position. Would you like to anchor the CBS uh, six o'clock news at some time in your career? If that's the that's the pinnacle of your profession, I think that I would, uh, find being present.

00:11:11.300 - 00:11:33.210

United States. If this is not too arrogant a statement to be a very rewarding position. Singer Jimmy Buffett What's the how did that relationship get started? Four years ago, Jimmy Buffett had a concert here in Tallahassee, and after the show I went backstage to medium and he mentioned to me that he was very interested in the manatee.

00:11:33.220 - 00:11:51.070

And he said, If there's something he could do to help in that he'd like to do so And so our friendship has developed around that, and we just like each other's company. He's a very, uh, bright, articulate, funny person to be around, and I like your songs.

00:11:51.270 - 00:12:10.200

We'll sing a couple of bars. Boom, boom, boom, boom place and away again in Margaritaville. You're seeing a lot. We've heard you. We've had a wireless microchip for my lost. Brushing his sugar, we hear market. Some people say there's a woman to blame, but I know it's my own damn involved you.

00:12:10.210 - 00:13:00.180

That sweat is my job. You do? That's it. Reason. Mhm. It's my to be better than mhm for me. It's my job to be clear in a business. That's another reason to go for me. It's my job than the rest takes shape. Me. Mhm. Okay. And that's what Governor Bob Graham does in an average day in Tallahassee.

00:13:00.640 - 00:13:38.380

We hope you think he's earning his money. That's my ties for this week. Hope to see you next week. I'm Joe April in terms of your employee needs. Well, basically, we've seen a lot of students here that are there in the technical fields and in the future, we are going a lot of technical people.

00:13:38.380 - 00:13:53.660

So I think that on the whole yes, we're seeing some of the lot of we're in the future. Yeah, I know you're working personnel with your company, and you do a lot of interviewing. Are the young people that you're talking to today seemingly prepared for the job market?

00:13:55.040 - 00:14:14.820

I would say most of the ones that I've talked to today because I've talked to a lot of people who have Yes, and there is a need. Technical people, most of them are graduating from high school, and a lot of them have expressed that they're going to be going on to either junior college or two four year colleges.

00:14:15.040 - 00:14:36.260

And that's what we're going to be needing. Done. Don people would take that. The job fair does what it should do you need from this kind of arrangement. I think so. I think I'm getting to meet a lot of people I would, and they're getting to get some exposure to us and know what we need as far as what kind of jobs that we're going to have.

00:14:37.440 - 00:14:54.970

What about from your standpoint down? Are you getting a lot from the job fair? I think it's very efficient. I've seen some companies that I didn't even know about while interviewing them and having them interviewed me. I found out that there are very serious about while they're here, you know, killing six people throughout the job fair.

00:14:54.980 - 00:15:27.660

It was easy to see the interaction, which will make vocational education students more ready for the job market. It's my job, Yes, that's another reason to go far. Yeah, to be back that so, Yes, my child business has never reasons to go for me. It's my job.

00:15:30.240 - 00:16:02.460

Yes, assistant. Many employers, like Southern Belle, came to the fair to fill immediate openings, as well as to build up a file of interested future job holders. Today we're looking for a better type employee for our company and, of course, to benefit our company in the future.

00:16:02.840 - 00:16:25.860

So we're not just taking people with average ordinary skills anymore. It's a matter of competition with students trying to find jobs in the job market. Today, we're looking for people with sales experience and particularly right now that we can put to work in our phone center stores as customer clerks and that is selling telephones to our customers who come into the phone center stores.

00:16:26.440 - 00:16:48.010

We are processing applications only for your type is with typing skills 40 words per minute or better. And we're also processing applications for directory telephone sales for selling ads in our Yellow Pages in our directory. Hey Lord, you're a junior now at Hialeah Miami Lakes Senior.

00:16:48.020 - 00:17:07.610

What are you looking for? Are you looking for any position like the ones that Jackie speaking out? Yes, I'm really interested in secretarial career. I really enjoy that career. I think it's a very good possibility for me to get a job. Okay, Jackie, the students that you're talking to Do they seem to be job ready?

00:17:08.240 - 00:17:26.490

Yes, they do. The ones that we've spoken with so far, and the job fair really serves as a good media of communication between the students who are looking for jobs and the businesses here who have jobs available. Some of them have plenty of jobs to offer, and some of them have limited ones.

00:17:26.490 - 00:17:59.360

But we hope that we will be able to help. Sure. Introducing students to new technology in various fields of work is also a goal of the gobo ed job fair. This is a visual training aid that demonstrates the refrigerant cycle and a heat pump. We can make it heat or cool, and the lights simulate the refrigerant gas flow and the wiring schematic is on the left of the trainer trainers using our facility to demonstrate to our second year apprentices what happens in the average residential heat pump.

00:18:01.540 - 00:18:23.450

As this employer points out, students are eager to know what's new and different. We're making an effort to disseminate information to the young students of Dade County about the opportunities available in the apprenticeship program we operate. Okay, are you getting a lot of inquires today? Very, very great number of students of expressing an interest in apprenticeship.

00:18:23.840 - 00:18:42.160

Okay, Do you have jobs that are available now. Are you looking for a future employees? We operate on an annual basis as far as opening our apprenticeship program in April, and we're trying to do a little advanced recruitment and get people thinking about apprenticeship for next March and April 1 will be taken to applications for our apprenticeship program.

00:18:42.160 - 00:18:59.080

We're on an annual cycle, you might say. Okay, and most of the students job ready that you've talked to. I saw you had a large crowd here a few minutes ago. We have quite a few of excellent students that are in the vocational programs, particularly in air conditioning and welding in the county school system that look job ready to make the job fair.

00:18:59.090 - 00:19:25.150

All in all was many things to the thousands of youth and adults who attended. But to John Yassine, coordinator of the Fair, this year, it was the culmination of a vocational education goal gives the employers an opportunity to meet the students in our schools. The students who have been through the vocational programs who have gotten some skills, some training and now are ready to enter the world of work.

00:19:25.160 - 00:19:38.940

So these employers that are here can actually meet these students and interview them and see which ones they might be interested in hiring and also can provide some counseling services for them for their future goals. Okay, I know this is probably going to be an ongoing effort.

00:19:38.940 - 00:19:51.600

Do you plan to do it again next year? We certainly hope so. You know, this is our second one, and it's actually an outgrowth of the needs of the community. The business people told us that they need things like this and certainly our school system support system, things like this.

00:19:51.610 - 00:20:06.020

So this is the second year. Bigger and better than last year. You know, Last year we had 100 and one participants. This year we had 120 employers out here, okay? And about how many students we saw masses of them. Yes. We had programmed here for 5000 students.

00:20:06.020 - 00:20:19.820

And I think every single one of them showed up this morning. Fantastic. What are your plans for next year? I know you say bigger and better. Are there particular industries that you're going after in terms of having those employers down? We like to have a representation of the entire community.

00:20:19.820 - 00:20:31.560

And the way this thing actually works is we have an advisory committee made up of a lot of business and industry people as well as school people. And they're going to get together after this thing, and they're going to sit down and evaluate this thing and start making plans for next year.

00:20:32.040 - 00:20:47.300

Okay. And the students, are they ready for this? I hope so. Because every year they get a little bit readier. I noticed the students that were here today. They impressed me very much. And with next year, I'm sure I'm going to be even more impressed. The job fair has become an annual event in Dade County.

00:20:47.300 - 00:21:06.700

In fact, the Dade County public schools, vocational and adult Education Department says it is going to continue to make this an effort that brings employers and potential student employees together. This year at the Miami Expo Center, we've seen more than 5000 students and 100 and 20 employers come together.

00:21:06.710 - 00:22:11.340

We know that the result of this will be more jobs and a better south Florida. Mm. Mhm. Yeah. Mhm. Yeah, Yeah. Okay. Mm mm. Yeah, Yeah. Mm, yeah. Mhm. No. Mhm. Okay. Mm. Yeah,
