Economic Development Committee hears Workforce Readiness Plan
The City of Dallas Economic Development Committee was briefed on a plan to support career training and job placement for low-income and low-skilled residents in high poverty areas.
The plan would engage third-party service providers to prepare unemployed and underemployed low skill/low income residents, reach out to targeted populations, engage workforce partners, provide training and employment and support existing programs.
Low skilled/low income residents face barriers to employment because of a lack of access to training, transportation, childcare, tuition assistance, and knowledge of and access to available resources.
