Yesterday, Philadelphia took a monumental step toward shaping the future of its workforce during the Inaugural Philadelphia Workforce Hub Convening at the FINISHING TRADES INSTITUTE OF THE MID ATLANTIC REGION. The press event, where policy and passion intersected, welcomed key figures such as U.S. Acting Secretary of Labor Julie Su, White House Domestic Policy Advisor Neera Tanden, and Mayor Cherelle L. Parker, and marked the beginning of a new era for the city. The day was more than a press opportunity – it was a call to action for all who believe in fostering a more inclusive and equitable workforce. Attendees gained firsthand insights into the Biden-Harris Administration's latest investments and partnerships that promise to revolutionize Philadelphia's job landscape, providing quality employment opportunities for all residents. A special highlight of the convening was the focus on empowering women in trades, celebrating the success of the WINC Tradeswomen Readiness Program, and its promise to pave the way for high-paying careers in the trades for women. With an emotional participant testimony of how the program offers a clear path to a good job and self-sufficiency, we've never been more optimistic about the future of Philadelphia's workforce. Check out the FACT SHEET for more information. Huge acknowledgment to leadership at the City of Philadelphia, The Chamber of Commerce for Greater Philadelphia, and Philadelphia Works, Inc. for driving the work behind these investments. Here’s to building a workforce ecosystem that mirrors the diversity of Philadelphia itself. #PhiladelphiaWorkforceHub #EquityInEmployment #EmpoweringWomenInTrades #FutureOfWork https://lnkd.in/eUHmysGS

As we gear up for our Apprenticeship Accelerator event next week, the conversations are already buzzing about Group Sponsorship! Here is what a Group Sponsor had to say about their experience using the group model in running their program. “For our industry, the group model has been extremely beneficial. Many of our employer training partners run busy salons and spas and lack the resources to set up curriculum, administer the program, and hold apprentices accountable. Under this system, our partners focus on providing excellent service, while we handle the administrative aspects.” -Jessee Skittrall – Founder and Program Coordinator – Atarashii Apprentice Program Program: Cosmetology Interested in learning more about Group Sponsorship?
