May. 28, 2007 10:05 AM SCOTTSDALE - In 2004, Lisa Odle had a vision of the future and a passion for the youth of America. Three years later, her vision is an award winning worker-placement and training company.
Heartbeat of America, a show hosted by William Shatner, highlighted Odle's creation, The Odle Management Group, in a recent taping that will air at 9 p.m. June 5 on the American Life TV Network.
Odle and her staff were awarded the Keeping America Strong Award for giving more than 8,000 youths per year vocational training otherwise not available to them, Odle said. Based in Scottsdale, Odle Management works with the U.S. Department of Labor Job Corps to provide training and job placement for youths ages 16 to 24.
"To us success is when the youths get the necessary training plus their GED or high school equivalency and are placed into the workforce," Odle said.
Working from the motto, "What gets measured gets done," Odle and her staff develop new cutting edge strategies for making even more youths successful members of the workforce.
"The government tells us what the laws and guidelines are, but the strategies are up to us, that's where being on the cutting edge comes in," Odle said.
The fact that the company has grown from recruiting only in Georgia, to now being assigned the contracts for recruiting in Michigan, Iowa and North Carolina, shows that Odle Management is on that cutting edge and exceeding expectations.
But the same passion that led Odle to found her company keeps her and her colleagues searching for ways to reach more youths in more states.
It will be those cutting edge innovations from Odle Management Group that will, as Shatner puts it, shape not only the future of the workforce but also the future of America.
