DISCUSSION:
In 2022, the Employment and Training Division of the Library and Community Services Department was awarded additional grant funds in the amount of $210,500 from the Construction Trades Workforce Initiative (CTWI). The $210,500 from CTWI was awarded to provide opportunities for unemployed Richmond residents through certification classes at RichmondBUILD. The certification classes will be Multi-Craft Core Curriculum, MC3 construction curriculum, OSHA 10, Confined Spaces, & First Aid/CPR. Key partners in this grant program include Universal Safety & CPR and Richmond WORKS. The $210,500 will be used to serve the re-entry population, women in nontraditional roles, and community members who lost their jobs through no fault of their own or who may be seeking a career change.
This grant was awarded after the City adopted the Fiscal Year 2022-2023 budget; therefore, a resolution amending the budget is necessary for Employment and Training to be able to accept and appropriate these funds.
