PHILADELPHIA — The City’s Department of Commerce today announced its latest investment through the Workforce Solutions Grant, selecting four new organizations to develop innovative workforce solutions for local job seekers to prepare for and connect to sustainable career pathways that pay a living wage. The Workforce Solutions Grant invests in programs from organizations that strive to elevate evidence-informed approaches to address specific challenges Black, brown, and other historically disadvantaged Philadelphia residents face when preparing for and entering the workforce.

We remain laser-focused on quality jobs— with family-sustaining wages, benefits, and a path to economic mobility,” said Mayor Cherelle L. Parker. “The Workforce Solutions Grant is one of the responses to support the workforce needs of residents and businesses. These awardees are well-equipped and ready to help us advance equitable workforce development in Philadelphia. I am grateful for the intergovernmental efforts including with the Department of Commerce to ensure residents can feel and see our commitment towards economic opportunity for all.”
