"Mayor London Breed has proposed cutting the [SF Office of Economic & Workforce Development] budget by more than $42 million over the next two years — including over $4 million from its job sector training programs...That wouldn’t just hurt the individual jobseekers, it would also harm our region’s employers and the broader economy." The City and County of San Francisco Board of Supervisors votes this afternoon on the budget for the next fiscal year. Learn more about how proposed cuts would affect San Francisco jobseekers, employers, and the community in the op-ed below by JVS CEO Lisa Countryman-Quiroz and Mission Hiring Hall, Inc. General Manager Omar Del Real, published today in the San Francisco Chronicle. https://lnkd.in/gFp5Nw2y #SFBudget #BudgetCuts #SFBOS #LondonBreed #MissionHiringHall #JVS #JVSBayArea

"Cutting funding to [workforce development] programs would be a disservice to the many jobseekers in California who rely on these opportunities to improve their lives, just as I did." - Edgar Alas, Registered Dental Assistant and JVS Alum Edgar is building a thriving career in dentistry after completing two programs with JVS, and he wants more Californians to have the opportunity to connect to quality jobs through career training programs. But programs that provide critical skills development and sector-based training are on the chopping block in budgets from the City and County of San Francisco to the State of California and beyond. Read Edgar's op-ed explaining the importance of funding workforce development training and how its impacts go beyond individual jobseekers in the article below, published in CalMatters. https://lnkd.in/g6U3TmMa #WorkforceDevelopment #CABudget #SanFrancisco #PublicPolicy #JVS #JVSBayArea
California faces a variety of workforce shortages. It can't afford to cut training programs

Many thanks to Anne Pasmanick for hosting JVS's CEO Lisa Countryman-Quiroz on the Power Station podcast! Listen to the episode at the link below to hear Anne and Lisa discuss JVS's mission and vision for the future, our impact on California jobseekers, and how we're using workforce development to advance racial equity and economic mobility. http://bit.ly/4cp4w4f
"I often think that we are not really doing workforce development, we are doing human development. And it applies to jobseekers but maybe even more so to the employers we are partnering with. We are helping them to think differently and sometimes for the first time about what type of work environment they are creating." Do you know Lisa Countryman-Quiroz, the indefatigable champion of people seeking high-quality jobs, those that provide good incomes, benefits, mobility and dignity? As CEO of JVS - Bay Area, she and a robust team train and certify jobseekers, primarily women of color, for highly-skilled positions that propel them from earning $40,000 to over $100,000 after 5 years. She also works with employers who are willing to make critical attitudinal and systems changes, from how they source their talent to creating opportunities for staff to advance in their careers. Lisa and her team are constantly tracking shifts in the labor market and identifying which sectors and employers require trained, prepared and motivated jobseekers. This conversation was, for me, both eye-opening and extremely heartening. Lisa and JVS demonstrate what is possible when workforce development is approached holistically, without fear of risk-taking and innovation. As she says, JVS's North Star is generating racial equity and economic mobility through workforce development. Most importantly, Lisa sees first hand the 2nd generation impacts of this approach, the children who are seeing their parents study, graduate and prosper. Hear her and share!! https://bit.ly/4bt096V #WorkforceDevelopment #labormarkets #technology #BayArea #economicmobility #jobtraining #federalinvestments #California
