Mayor McGinn announces City funding awards to six community agencies for a job readiness training program for immigrant and refugee youth and their families. In January 2012, the Human Services Department (HSD) released a Request for Investment (RFI) in response to community feedback heard during Mayor’s Youth & Families Initiative community meetings and HSD’s Strategic Plan community engagement. The job readiness training program is unique in its approach to involve both established agencies that serve this population and smaller “developing” agencies that are based in the community.
