Safer it may surprise you to learn that even in this time of stubbornly high unemployment, there are hundreds of thousands of good Jobs Available that companies are finding hard to fill. But, as we reported last january, one wall street veteran believes hes found an overlooked source of talent that could be the answer. He started something called year up, a yearlong jobs training boot camp for some of the countrys most disadvantaged young people. And so far, thousands of graduates are now working at Companies Like j. P. Morgan, American Express, and facebook. The result is that many of the countrys most powerful ceos are finding that they can do well by also doing good. One, two, three opportunity starts with me safer for these students, its day one of corporate boot camp. So lets make sure these are up and running. Put your papers down. Safer . Crash courses on everything from building and maintaining computers to the basics of accounting and balance sheets. 18 minutes go safer they will learn to work together, and try to overcome generations of endemic poverty. Your success here is yours. Now, you go to the interview what do you need to use . Safer they must learn not just business and technical skills, but social skills. Why is that a good handshake . Strong. Safer . And work hard enough to build the foundation of a career. What is a better way to make a connection with someone . Safer dont let the suits and ties fool you. Almost everyone at year up has faced almost unimaginable hardship in getting here poverty, drugs, foster care, mens and womens shelters, you name it. Gerald chertavian we are going into a professional skills course. Safer this allout corporate training blitz is the brainchild of gerald chertavian, a wall street veteran who believes that hes discovered an untapped source of talent among the poorest in the country. Chertavian a majority of the young adults growing up in isolated poverty in our inner cities want opportunity, want to be challenged, want to be held to high expectations, and are motivated to actually get a good job. They havent had any exposure as to how do you do that. Safer yet, to a good part of the population, those people are invisible. Chertavian absolutely invisible. It so saddens me, if someone would see our young adult on the street, and rather than think, thats my next best employee, they clutch their wallet. And that happens. And part of this perception change is, if enough young people see our students working for the best companies, theyll change perception. Safer changing perception started with this kid, david heredia. The two met in 1988 through the Big Brothers Program as chertavian was just beginning his wall street career. Heredia lived in one of the most dangerous housing projects in new york. Chertavian i saw that he had all the potential, but didnt have the access and the opportunity. And having seen that for three years close up, i realized this was wrong. Safer chertavian helped heredia through college, but he wanted to do more. So when he sold his tech company, he finally got the chance. Using his own seed money, chertavian began year up with just 22 students and a mission. Insider trading. Safer . Create a yearlong job boot camp that provides a pathway to good careers for young people who would otherwise never get the chance. China is having, like, a shrinkage as far as their bonds are going down. Safer these are fairly complex subject theyre dealing with. Chertavian yes, absolutely. Safer he says the formula is simple. For six months, students choose to concentrate their training in Financial Operations or, more often, computer technology. You may see your bios coming up. Safer why these two specific concentrations . Chertavian we look for areas that pay livable wages, places where you can really earn a career. Safer god. laughs i dont think. I dont think i would last an hour at this. Chertavian im sure youd be great at it. Barack obama so this is what my hard drive looks like if i took it all apart . Safer chertavians approach caught the attention of president obama, who visited the washington site. Obama what we wanted to do was highlight the fact that there are all kinds of people who succeed, despite the obstacles. Safer and the white house is looking for ways of duplicating year ups results. At first, chertavian says he had to beg companies to offer internships. Now, firms like j. P. Morgan are actually paying year up 23,000 per intern. Ceo jamie dimon says the 300 they have taken on in their operations, retail, and Technology Divisions provide the firm with a welltrained pool of talent. Jamie dimon year up gives them six months of intensive training to teach them basics. So, by the time they come here, they kind of know what a jobs going to be like, they know what an internship is going to be like, and they can kind of just keep on growing in the job. Safer has that investment paid off for you . Dimon it has. One of the biggest expenses for a company is hiring people, or particularly. In particular, hiring the wrong people. So if you end up with great, talented people who end up being permanent, fulltime here, it pays off as an investment. We. I think its important that programs like this have an end goal thats not. Its. Its enlightened, its not just philanthropy. If its just philanthropy, they tend to fall apart over time. We are asking you to acquire a skill so you can go work in corporate america. Safer a key to year ups success, chertavian, says is a relentless focus on networking and Understanding Office culture. Beyond the technical training, how important is the social skills part of this . Chertavian we know you hire for skills and fire for behavior in the work world. And so, we have to make sure our young adults know the social codes, the social norms of working in an organization like a state street, or a bank of america, or a j. P. Morgan. Safer each candidate is put through a rigorous application process, where their backgrounds, and more importantly, their determination are carefully examined. The only requirement is a High School Diploma or g. E. D. You said he was in foster care. Will he be stable for a year . Safer social workers are on staff to help with the inevitable problems, like unstable living conditions. Year up is a tool. Safer during orientation, everyone is encouraged to share their stories. Since i was 12, i have been in group homes and foster homes. My mom and my dad spent all their time working and never got to talk to me, so basically, i was kind of raised by myself. What does this tell us about resilience . Safer . And tap into the adversity and resilience that got them through the door in the first place. We offer you the opportunity to do something for yourself, and its going to be you the whole way. Safer Jonathan Garcia is a graduate. Raised in harlem by a single mother who died when he was 14, garcia is now doing computer Technical Support for the top executives at American Express, including the ceo, ken chenault. Jonathan says getting accepted into year up saved his life. Jonathan garcia back then, i had no ambition. My ambition was just to make money now, so i can eat tonight and tomorrow. Safer how far away did wall street seem to you back then . Garcia oh, it was nowhere near new york. laughter safer when a relative told him about year up, he says, at first, he was skeptical. Garcia where i was born and raised, if its too good to be true, its most likely a scam. But after noticing that everyone was very comfortable and very willing to help you succeed, as long as you have the drive, then, yeah, i made it my business to be the top of my class. Beta and zeta are both optical. Safer Students Earn College credit and a stipend of a few hundred dollars a week. Show up even a minute late to class or forget to turn in your homework, and your pay is docked. More than seven infractions and youre out. How are you . Nice to meet you . Safer a quarter of each class doesnt make it. Chertavian so, just teaching that no one cares why youre late, no one cares the bus was slow or the subway was delayed, no one. They only care that you show up on time every day and youre reliable. And if you are, companies will teach you what they. What you dont know. Good afternoon. Good afternoon safer the program culminates in a sixmonth internship at a fortune 500 company. The first person going to Goldman Sachs tanisha giddons. cheers and applause safer chertavians formula has generated impressive results. Year up now has 12 sites across the country, training 2,000 young people a year in Financial Operations and i. T. Jobs. cheers and applause after graduation, 85 go to college or are hired fulltime. Average starting salaries are 30,000, but with computer expertise, can hit 50,000 a year or more. Jay hammonds we take those reports. Safer for the past two years, jay hammonds has worked at facebooks i. T. Department. Born to a drugaddicted mother, he was adopted as a baby by a family friend. Hammonds it was rough. But at the same time, i knew nothing different. For example, i had a cousin who, you know, grew up in the same neighborhood as me. And he went down the wrong path. And a few years later, he was killed and. Sorry. Safer its okay. Hammonds at the time, it was just normal, so i knew nothing different. Safer after high school, he tried college but quickly ran out of money. He says, before year up, he couldnt even get a job at a grocery store. Hammonds i thought that would be, like, a great position for me coming out of high school. And i applied three times and never got the job. Safer doing what . Hammonds a bagger. Safer and that was the best you could. . Hammonds it was the best i thought of at the time. Safer when he saw a year up flyer, he jumped at the chance. Hammonds you know you earn money . You get College Credits . And, you know, i get an internship . That was the. The biggest moment for me, because i realized ive had potential, and that taking this chance, and them taking a chance on me, is going to change my life. And it has. Safer its no secret that wall streets image has been tarnished over the last couple of years. Dimon i. I noticed, yeah. laughter safer but, so to what extent is. Is this not just for j. P. Morgan but a lot of the firms kind of window dressing, showing that, were philanthropic, we want to show civic responsibility. Dimon i dont think we just want to show it. I think we are civically responsible. We dont want to drive successful people down. You want to get people who dont have the opportunity, you want to give them the opportunity, and hopefully they become more successful. Safer American Express Ceo Ken Chenault says chertavian is filling a gap in the economy. There is a shortage of well trained people in the fields of technology and Financial Operations. Ken chenault its a win for the urban communities, its a win for the students, and its a win for our company. We would not be doing this unless these students were active contributors as employees. And they more than pull their weight. Safer can this be expanded on a kind of scale that would have a real effect nationally . Chenault this is a template that i think has demonstrated real success, measurable success. And what needs to happen is the Business Community need to become more aware of the success that a range of companies have had. Safer so, in order to duplicate that success nationally, year up has begun offering its program to Community Colleges like the nations largest, miami dade. The goal to eventually train 100,000 a year across the country. To Jonathan Garcia, his current job at American Express, he says, is just the beginning. Garcia college is definitely important for me because i dont want to be the. The technician that keeps on supporting the executives. One day, i want to be the executive thats being supported. Safer so you want to be chairman of the board or what . Garcia laughs maybe one day. But what im thinking about for now, its the next position up, and then well go from there. Safer since our story aired, year up received over 1 million in donations, 175 more companies have signed on, and applications are up 200 . Cbs update sponsored by lincoln financial.

Simon at this very moment, astronomers are exploring parts of space that have never been seen before. They are seeing the actual birth of planets and stars, countless millions of them, from the top of a remote plateau in northern chile. Deep in the atacama desert, theyve built a revolutionary new observatory known as the atacama large millimetersub millimeter array, alma for short. Its a different kind of telescope, not the kind you look through. Alma is the worlds most powerful radio telescope, which means it deciphers wavelengths of light colors, really that the human eye cannot see, giving scientists a window on parts of the universe that are otherwise invisible. Its a project thats been 30 years in the making and cost 1. 3 billion. Alma is just getting started, and as we reported last march, it has already made some astonishing discoveries. For centuries, people have come to this high plateau in northern chile to look far into the heart of space. Its called chatnontor, which means place of departure. As these timelapse pictures show, it is the earths window to the stars. At 16,500 feet, its above most of the earths atmosphere; theres very little here separating man from the heavens. The result is a night sky thats more brilliant than anything you can see without actually being in orbit. The landscape is otherworldly, and the harsh terrain stretches hundreds of miles. But the same features that make the desert so inhospitable also make it an ideal place to gaze at the galaxies; its high and its dry. Alma is comprised of 66 radio antennas. The expertise and technology assembled here make it the most ambitious astronomical project on earth. Has there ever been an enterprise on this scale before . Pierre cox on this scale, no. Its the biggest one. Simon pierre cox is almas director. His job is to coordinate the 19 Different Countries involved in the project. Cox when i took my job, people said, oh, my goodness. That would be like being the secretary general of united nations. Simon thats what i would have thought. Cox i thought it, also. But then, i thought a little bit about it, and i think, no, its much easier because all the members have the same goal, which is not true for the united nations. Simon but it is a herculean task. Everything you see here had to be manufactured in europe, asia and north america, and shipped to the atacama. It was assembled and tested here at almas base camp at the foot of the mountain, an altitude of 10,000 feet. Then, the trip to the top, at eight miles an hour. Each one of these 7 million instruments has to make the 17 mile journey on a specially built transporter more crab than carrier designed to protect this ultra sensitive cargo from even the slightest bump in the road. You put one of these on a truck . Cox yes. Simon haul it up to 5,000 meters, more than 16,000 feet, and you still expect the kind of accuracy. Cox yes. Simon . That is a tiny fraction of a human hair . Cox yes. That gives you an idea about how complex this whole endeavor is. Simon its a journey into thin air. The altitude is such a strain on the body that you have to pass a medical exam to go there. Do you find that when youre on top, your thinking gets a little bit hazy . Cox yes, sometimes it does. I mean, people react very differently. There are people who are starting to babble all the time, other ones who dont say a word. laughs simon very little can survive at these heights. Theres a point at which even the llamas stop climbing. We came here in may, the middle of fall in the southern hemisphere. Its supposed to be the driest place on earth; we found snow. You know whats going on at a trillion miles from here, but you couldnt forecast the weather. Cox yeah, thats right. So, we have to live with it. There you see the antennas. Simon yes. My god, what a sight. That looks extraterrestrial. Cox it is. Its absolutely mindboggling. Simon we were fitted with oxygen tanks. Still, we found it difficult to think or breathe or walk. Right now, the antennas are spread out on the plateau over a distance of a mile, but theyre moveable and eventually they could spread out over ten miles. That will mimic a single telescope dish ten miles wide. Then, alma will be able to see far off objects with greater detail than ever before. And because light takes so long to get to us from distant objects, the farther away alma sees, the farther back in time it looks. Soon, they will be able to get close to the start of it all, to the big bang. Alma will offer us a glimpse at the formation of the very first galaxies 13 billion years ago. The very first galaxies . Cox yes, the ones which were born just after the big bang, about a billion years after the big bang. Simon just after the big bang is a billion years. After the big bang. Cox in. In terms of astronomy, we have those terms. Simon and thats never been before . chuckle cox no, or very few. Simon almas brain is a supercomputer housed in one of the highest buildings in the world, second only to a tiny train station in the tibetan himalayas. Physicist alison peck helped oversee almas construction. Alison peck we had to oxygenate the entire room. That means we need to. Needed to pump additional oxygen into the room in order for the guys to be able to make decisions correctly, to focus correctly, to compensate for the altitude. Simon so, they wouldnt have been able to do this without oxygen . Peck theres absolutely no way they would have been able to assemble this without additional oxygen. Simon has anything like this ever been done before . Peck not at this altitude, no. This is definitely the highest altitude supercomputer in the entire world. Simon its as powerful as three million laptops, and it synchronizes all the data coming in from those antennas. How precise does the computer have to be . Peck this computer has to be able to synchronize the data to within just a few femtoseconds. Simon whats that . Peck that is a millionth of a billionth of a second. Simon alma isnt actually the worlds highest telescope. Hubble, for example, has been orbiting hundreds of miles above the earth for more than two decades. But hubble is an optical telescope, a very different creature from alma. Peck alma is a radio telescope, which means that we are observing things that are radiating at wavelengths longer than what the eye can see. Optical telescopes observe the visible light. They observe things that light up that we can see with our eyes. Simon so, alma can see colors that we cannot see. Peck effectively, yes. Alma can see wavelengths of light that we cannot see with our eyes. Simon take a look. What youre seeing is an image from an optical telescope. It looks little more than a dark cloud in space, but this is how alma sees it. Suddenly, that cloud is lifted. Whats there . Peck whats there is gas, generally, and dust. And that doesnt sound so exciting when you say that. I mean, dust, we just vacuum it up, normally. But in the context of the evolution of galaxies and solar systems, dust is extremely important. Simon its in these dense patches of gas and dust where stars, new solar systems, are born. And thats exactly what were seeing in this picture a new star. Peck hubble can see stars immediately after theyre born, but it cant detect the regions before the stars are born. It cant see the cradles, if you will, where the stars will appear. Simon hubble sees the baby, youre seeing the birth . Peck exactly. Thats exactly right. Simon not just the birth of stars, alma can also see planets as they form. Stuart corder is almas deputy director. Inside the control room, he showed us some of the remarkable things theyre already observing. So, essentially, in language i can understand, we are looking at a young star. Corder young star, yes. Simon and were looking at the birth of planets around it. Corder right. Yeah, i mean, the colors that were seeing in the. In the. The image are the gas around the star. And that gas, and the dust thats also surrounding the star, eventually comes together into small pebbles and then large rocks, and then bigger rocks, and eventually forms planets. So, i mean, this is really the. Youre seeing the natal environment of planets. Simon this alma graphic illustrates just how new planets are formed. But will there be life on them . We all know thats the ultimate question. And even at this early stage in its journey, alma has seen evidence that there might be. It has identified chemicals close to newborn stars that are similar to what we find here on earth, which form the Building Blocks of life. Peck we found a simple sugar called glycolaldehyde. Now, this is a molecule that we consider prebiotic. That means that it could lead to conditions where life could form. Simon excuse me, i cant resist. Theres sugar out there . Peck yes. Theres sugar out there, theres alcohol. Simon this is very good news. laughs peck yes, indeed. Indeed. laughs simon the scientists at alma arent the first people to gaze at the skies from this desert. For generations, the Indigenous People of the atacama were fascinated not by the brilliance of the stars, but by the very same dark corners of space. Chilean physicist eduardo hardy, almas director of north american operations, showed us how they saw the universe. Eduardo hardy they saw the equivalent of constellations. But instead of loking at stars to draw the shapes of the constellations, they used the dark patches to do that. Simon the greeks used the stars. Hardy the greekused the stars. The local populations used the dark patches, which is precisely what alma is looking at. Simon and in these dark patches, they saw reflections of their daily lives llamas, for example. They spun a whole mythology around them. The milky way. Hardy here, the milky way is a river. And it actually does look like a river, but its a river that will take the souls of the dead people and take them to heaven. Simon its fitting, then, that scientists at alma are scanning the skies on chatnon tor, this place of departure. And even though theyve already taken us far into darkness, theyre just getting started. Hardy we dont even know what has been discovered. People who have made observation with alma are working hard to get the data out and publish it. In the next few years, we will be very surprised. The only thing i can predict is that we will be very surprised. Simon surprised, yes. But alma is destined to take science further back in space and time than had ever been imagined, closer than ever to an understanding of what it means to say in the beginning.

Cooper of all the different species of crocodiles in the world, africas nile crocodile is the most dangerous and deadly. They can grow up to 20 feet long, weigh as much as a car, and bite as hard as a tyrannosaurus rex. Crocodiles are prehistoric creatures that have been around since the time of dinosaurs, but we still dont know a lot about them because studying them up close on land is treacherous, and underwater was always thought to be impossible. As we reported last year, two for the last six years, Brad Bestelink and his wife Andy Crawford have been risking their lives filming these maneaters in the most da protected in botswana, but brad and andy believe more needs to be known about their behavior so that humans can better avoid them. Theyve invited dr. Adam britton, an australian zoologist, to dive with them. When you first heard about what they were doing here, what did you think . Adam britton look, ill be honest. When i. When i first heard about this, my instant, Immediate Reaction was that sounds crazy. Cooper dr. Britton has been studying crocodiles for almost 20 years. Britton i describe crocodiles like ferraris theyre just extremely finely honed creatures. They are. Theyre. Theyre just perfectly adapted to do what they do. Theyre, you know, the smartest of. Of all the reptiles. Cooper britton is building a genetic database on nile crocodiles in the delta to better understand how to protect them. For years, the only way to study them up close was to capture them. Bestelink croc on. So, once ive got him by the mouth. Cooper it is difficult, dangerous work. Britton sit on him. Get his legs back. Pin his legs between his knees, as well. Hes got no leverage. Cooper so, what are you doing now . Britton i am just going to cover his eyes so that he cant see what were doing. Cooper so, hes not injured at all . Britton no, no, hes not injured at all, apart from his pride, perhaps. Cooper this crocodile is not sedated; its simply trying to conserve its energy. Why are you doing this . Britton if we can get a sample of all the dna from every single crocodile across the delta, then we can start to build up a picture then of exactly not only where these crocodiles came from, but how theyre moving within the delta. Cooper because right now, you dont really know that . Britton no one really knows anything about that at all. Cooper when you actually see the crocodiles up close, there is a beauty to them. Often, in pictures, theyre covered in mud. They look very drab. But up close, you see the variety of color not just on the top, but also on the bottom. And the tou. To the touch, its really. Theres a softness to them, particularly on the. The feet like this. The claws are about an inch, an inch and a half, but the pads of the feet are actually incredibly soft. Capturing crocodiles is stressful for the animal and for us; putting them back in the water is just as hard. Its tail, though, makes up about half its length. Crocs have the amazing ability to actually slow their heart rate down. They can close off one of the valves in their heart, which stops the flow of blood to some of its organs and allows them to stay underwater for hours at a time. It. Its amazing how close the crocodile is. You cant tell if its watching you or not. Suddenly, the crocodile backs away. Its not taking its eyes off me. I have no idea what its going to do. My heart is pounding. Neither of us moves. Then, with a flick of his tail, hes off. We move further through the undergrowth and find yet another crocodile. This time, its facing me head on. On the stick im holding, i have a small camera, and i move it closer to try and get a better shot. I know i should be terrified, but the truth is, its actually thrilling. Its extraordinary that i can get so close. Im literally looking at it right in the face, staring at it face to face. The crocodiles front vision is not very good, so this is actually a relatively safe place to be. The crocodile is also laying low, which is a good sign. If it felt threatened, it would rise up on its feet. That would be an indication it might be ready to strike. When it finally takes off, we start following it. The crocodile is kicking up so much sand and sediment, we cant see where were going. We are trying to pursue the crocodile right now, but i cant tell how large it is. Its tail is so powerful, i am almost right on top of it. I can reach out right now and just touch the tail, but i am worried if i do that, it will somehow turn around. It just doesnt seem like a good idea, but i got to say its so tempting. The croc is moving so fast, we cant keep up for long. Its time to surface and find the boat. That was amazing. I was right. Right on top of it. Bestelink eh . Cooper i was right on top of its tail. I mean, i could have touched it. Bestelink yeah, i know. And then he turns around. Cooper and then he turns around laughter i swear, there was a moment where i thought, jesus, he could just attack, and theres nothing i could do about it. Bestelink absolutely. But did you ever feel like he was going to attack . Cooper no. Well, may. laughs . Maybe a little bit, actually. Ive dived with great white sharks before, but, in terms of numbers of People Killed each year, nile crocodiles are far more deadly. Once ruthlessly hunted, still vilified as mindless killing machines, we can finally observe them as they really are perfectly evolved denizens of the dark, ancient creatures now, for the first time, fully visible in the light. Did Anderson Cooper put his life at risk . Hear it from him. Go to 60minutesovertime. Com. My name is karen and i have diabetic nerve pain. Its progressive pain. First that feeling of numbness.
