Monday marks the official launch of a $230 million program city leaders hope will move thousands of residents into good-paying jobs.
Amanda Wright, who will sit on the SA Ready to Work advisory board, said an earlier city-backed workforce development program gave her the training necessary for a job that lifted her family out of homelessness.San Antonio’s new jobs training and placement program officially launched Monday, opening enrollment to what city leaders hope will help thousands of residents develop lifelong career skills that should immediately lead to good-paying jobs.
He predicted the program would change the trajectory of thousands of working families, but added, “I would consider it a success when a single family is able to change the cycle of poverty, and give their children and grandchildren a chance.” The reduced projection echoes SA Ready to Work’s predecessor program, Train for Jobs SA, which fell far short of its goals. Launched in the early months of the pandemic, Train for Jobs SA sought to help up to 10,000 residents find jobs, though only about 1,600 have so far.
Throughout the process, applicants will receive individualized support, potentially including emergency funding to cover expenses such as housing, utilities, day care, food, transportation, internet access or other last-minute expenses with the potential to derail a person’s progress in the program.
