  Nebraska, USA

  STAR Graduate in Fiber Optics

  Jemal Shabazz believes in fiber.

  Jemal’s grandfather’s electrician tools and theory of electricity books caught Jemal’s attention at an early age. Jemal started out with ambitions to be an electrician journeyman, but ultimately he wanted to build a career in fiber, something he calls “career certainty” rather than “job security.” “I was looking at the job landscape and doing all this research on the tech industry. I figured, let's try to find something that can work with automation and AI instead of getting fully replaced by it.”

  This led him to Google’s Skilled Trades and Readiness (STAR) Program in Omaha, where Jemal enrolled in a multi-week program in fiber optics. The intense and fast-paced curriculum provided him with the skills and the confidence to enter the field despite having little prior fiber experience.

  In his current job, he is being given more advanced tasks because of his strong work ethic and the training he received in the STAR program. He knows these types of programs are vital for giving community members the opportunities they need to pursue a fiber optics or construction career. And he wants to help other young black men have more of the same opportunities he has had in the fiber field, someday becoming a fiber instructor and teaching and influencing young people in underinvested communities to follow a career in the trades.

  “The STAR Program also gave me the confidence to enter a high-level field like this with just a little experience. I felt informed enough to start my job with confidence and not feel like a complete novice when I first got out into the field.”

  President and CEO, Food Bank for the Heartland

  Brian Barks spent years in the radio broadcast industry in Nebraska and Arizona. He loved every minute of it.

  Now as president and CEO of Food Bank for the Heartland in Omaha, Nebraska, he has settled into a role he loves even more. During his tenure, Brian has helped grow donated revenue, likely because he has no problem asking people to dedicate their support to a cause as important as hunger.

  Food insecurity is worse today than during the COVID-19 pandemic. Food Bank for the Heartland provides food to children, families, seniors, and veterans facing hunger in Nebraska and western Iowa. Their mission is to eliminate hunger in the region by ensuring consistent access to healthy foods through community partnerships.

  In 2023 Google approached Food Bank for the Heartland to collaborate on a volunteer day and invest in the organization. “It was neat to have so many Googlers in our volunteer center to package food to people who need help,” Brian said. “The Googlers were engaged in the process — a lot of activity and action that day. The support of the gift of time and treasure couldn't have come at a better time.”

  “Hunger exists in every community we serve. And with food insecurity levels at historic highs, the need to get involved has never been greater. I love talking to people who have the capacity to make a difference, want to make a difference, and are interested in what we do. And I love being able to marry all of that together.”

  “We continue to see the community rallying around what we are trying to do. A constant here is the community support. When times are tough, it’s neighbor helping neighbor in Nebraska and Iowa. It’s rallying around a cause.”

Knowing that my work really enables people, I find it very satisfying.”
