THE ISSUESA Solid WorkforceBeverly's Statement: Our young people are in need of jobs. Though many of them maybe unemployable whether due to education, juvenile/criminal records. How can we build a solid workforce? More on A Solid Workforce: A solid workforce in District 5 and the City can be developed utilizing youth, elderly and returning parolees in Oakland funded by various money sources. Community Development Block Grant money comes in every year and is earmarked for the community and housing needs. (Housing and Urban Development Money) I propose stipends and internships to fund recruitment and training of these individuals. I also think that it will foster a since of pride that drug money cannot. Contact Beverly at 510.532.0333 or FayeBeck@comcast.net |
