After delaying its start for nearly a year, the city this week extended program’s first...
For Johnson, who’d done several stints in jail — the last time in 2010 — truck driving is a departure from the minimum wage warehouse jobs he’s held in recent years, mostly loading and unloading trucks. With his background, he said, that was the only work he could get.Concerns being raised as Ready to Work job training program continues to lag goals for enrollment
Though city staffers have cheered the idea that since late 2020 San Antonio has begun establishing a novel job training system from scratch, its rollout has been scattershot. Last week, the city argued that moving the end of the program’s first year to June 30 from the end of March makes sense because Ready to Work didn’t fully launch until June. So the June 30 results will be closer to a full year of data, Ramsey said.
The delay will likely prevent the contractors from reporting paltry first-year results for Ready to Work by giving them three extra months to enroll participants. Organizers are trying to bridge the gaps they’re seeing as they arise — primarily employers not being willing to hire graduates straight out of training.
“Do I have the passion or the courage to want to do this?” Johnson recalled asking himself at the time.
