CONNECTING PHILADELPHIANS TO FAMILY-SUSTAINING CAREERS
Helping Philadelphians connect to family-sustaining careers is crucial to our recovery from COVID-19, stemming the tide of gun violence, and breaking the cycle of poverty. 47% of Philadelphians work in low-skill occupations, but there are many high opportunity, middle skill careers that typically don’t require a college degree and can lead to an average wage INCREASE of $8.30/hour. I’ve been focused on workforce development since Day 1 because I know we can make a real difference in people’s lives.
