City Seeks to Match Workers, Businesses

The city is recruiting workers and local businesses to participate in its Job Training Partnership Act program.

Under the program, the federal government will reimburse employers 50% of wages paid employees who meet certain low-income or unemployment criteria.

Employers must have been in business for at least two years, have four or more regular employees and have a steady employment record.

Workers must be 21 or older, have a good work history but lack updated skills or have a vocational certificate and face difficulty finding a job. Qualified people will receive on-the-job training and earn at least $8 per hour.
