Myrtle’s Message

Quality Jobs & Workforce Development “Workforce Development is about getting people the right skills for the right jobs at the right time.” - Anonymous

Quality Jobs and Workforce Development are top

priorities for me. I’m connecting Fourth Council District residents with job opportunities on my

weekly job board but my commitment doesn’t stop there. I am also Vice Chair of the San

Diego Workforce Partnership’s San Diego

Consortium Policy Board.

The San Diego Consortium Policy Board

determines the final approval of funding

initiatives, objectives, and policy. Our focus is on maximizing stewardship and our priority is to

distribute funds in the most accountable, effective, and transparent manner. We work to get people the right skills for the right jobs at the right time!

San Diego Workforce Partnership (SDWP) funds programs that provide eligible youth with work experience and work readiness. SDWP also funds job training programs that enable eligible

adults to develop the skills and knowledge needed to meet the needs of regional employers. Their network of career centers and community partners assist eligible job seekers with job

training. One of these premier career centers is in the Fourth Council District. The South Metro

Career Center located at 4389 Imperial Avenue, San Diego, CA 92113.

Cesar Chavez Day

On Monday, March 31st, City offices were closed in observance of

tremendous contribution made by Cesar Chavez who was a labor leader, civil rights activist, historical icon and visionary.

Creación de Empleos Calidad y Desarrollo del trabajador

La creación de empleos de calidad y el desarrollo de los trabajadores son prioridades para mí. Cada vez

más residentes del Distrito 4 encuentran empleo gracias a la bolsa de empleo que se publica en mi

boletín semanal, mi compromiso no termins ahí. También soy vice presidenta del Comité de Políticas de

la Asociación de Trabajadores de San Diego (SDWP).

El Comité de Políticas de la Asociación de Trabajadores de San Diego identifica y aprueba los fondos para

las iniciativas y políticas a implementar. Nuestro objetivo es maximizar la administración y distribuir los

fondos de una manera efectiva y transparente.

La Asociación de Trabajadores de San Diego ayuda a capacitar adultos para que desarrollen las

habilidades y conocimientos que buscan las empresas regionales. Su amplia red incluye a centros de

capacitación y centros comunitarios, los cuales ayudan en la búsqueda y capacitación de los trabajadores.

Uno de estos centros se encuentra en el Distrito 4. El South Metro Career Center está ubicado en 4389

Imperial Avenue, San Diego, CA 92113.
