Secures Major Grant for Recession Response Program
November, 2003 SAN FRANCISCO - Employment Development Department Director Michael Bernick and California Board of Equalization Chairwoman Carole Migden presented Jewish Vocational Services with a grant for $300,000 to fund that organization's Recession Response program today. The funds will be used for job placement and vocational training for people who have been dislocated from the workforce and focuses on preventing dependence on welfare programs. Chairwoman Migden wishes to thank outgoing Governor Gray Davis for his openness in providing these much needed job-training funds. "At the BOE, we're trying to eliminate tax givebacks for anachronistic employment development programs, and it's just as important to fund programs that provide appropriate skills for this moment in history," said Migden. "Governor Davis has proven in the last days of his administration that he has a commitment to employment that make sense for San Francisco," she said. |
