JPMorgan Chase Commits Over $1.3 Million to Increase Skills Training and Job Growth in Detroit - Seite 3

• United Way for Southeastern Michigan ($150,000): The Detroit Regional Workforce Fund (DRWF), through its Access for All program, will create a pipeline of 100 new workers that have the necessary training and skills for careers in the construction and manufacturing industries. Also, the investment will support the growth of a prisoner re-entry program that connects ex-offenders to employment opportunities in skilled trades and other critical services.

“We want to thank JPMorgan Chase for providing the funding to support the growth of Access for All, a market-driven demand strategy of the DRWF that provides pathways to opportunities, including a pipeline of 100 new workers for careers in the skilled trades industries,” said Karen Tyler-Ruiz, Director, Detroit Regional Workforce Fund. “The DRWF, which is housed at United Way for Southeastern Michigan and is an innovative, fiduciary collaborative of public-private sector organizations, responds to gaps in workforce and trains unemployed or underemployed Detroiters for good jobs that will improve their lives as well as the lives of their families and the entire Detroit community.”
