Last month HPP participated in a San Mateo Workforce Recovery Stakeholder Network Meeting with other local partners interested in shaping an equity-driven workforce recovery response to COVID-19. Spearheaded by NOVAWorks, participants included county staff, local educational providers, non-profits, business organizations, labor, and others to discuss how we can leverage our collective resources in the county and design innovative workforce initiatives to target the most vulnerable and highest need residents. Joining together in collaboration across disciplines and industries is important for effectively serving these populations. We look forward to future network meetings this fall and early next year that will inform the allocation of American Rescue Plan Act dollars toward workforce efforts. Stay tuned for more information soon!
