I am currently supervising an intern, “Fergus,” who is a grad student in his mid-20s. Firstly, Fergus doesn’t drive, and our city’s public transport is lousy. A reader writes: I am a female in my mid-30s who is fairly new to managing. Fergus’s internship lasts for seven weeks.

They walk with inmates through counseling, obtaining a GED, finding housing and transportation upon release, and even finance virtual collegiate studies. I was brought in by RISE to offer ongoing training and supervision for acudetox at the jail.

MAY 30, 2025

Sectors like construction, manufacturing and transportation are considered less vulnerable to automation, largely due to the need for human supervision and frequent on-the-job recalibrations. But that perception is shifting, and blue-collar jobs, once dismissed, are now attracting renewed interest.
