The City of San Antonio is on the lookout for new members to join its Ready to Work Advisory Board, and they're casting the net wide. Applications are open until August 15, with a clear call for a diverse range of voices from the local community.
The board's mandate is nothing short of pivotal — they advise the Workforce Development Office on key aspects such as identifying in-demand jobs, tailoring training to meet those needs, and deciding on the annual distribution of certifications and degrees. According to the City of San Antonio announcement, these board members don't just strategize behind closed doors; they're also tasked with championing the program in the broader community and weighing in on how funds are allocated.
Successful applicants to the Ready to Work Advisory Board are required to attend bimonthly meetings held every third Tuesday from 1 to 3 p.m. The board advises on workforce development initiatives in San Antonio, aiming to align programs with the city’s economic needs and address challenges faced by residents seeking employment or skills training.
