Statement of Purpose
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: This resolution authorizes city officials to enter into a sub-recipient funding agreement with Independent School District 709 Adult Basic Education for employment and training services designed to prepare women and girls of color, women over age 50, and low income women by increasing awareness, exposure, and access to occupations in the skilled trades, and preparing them with the skills needed to enter into employment as carpenters, machine operators, plumbers, pipefitters, sheet metal workers and/or iron workers. ISD 709 ABE will provide curriculum development, contextualized and training instruction, and basic education services for up to 46 women for an amount not to exceed $6,579. This effort is funded 100% from a $141,499 DEED grant that was recently awarded to the Duluth Workforce Development Board/Duluth Workforce Services Department to provide job readiness training and support to women interested in pursuing high-wage, high-demand and non-traditional jobs available in Duluth.
