2010-2020 Mayor's Press Releases: on Jobs


Tom Barrett: Supported employer-driven training in manufacturing

To ensure Milwaukee's local manufacturing companies have the workers they need, Mayor Barrett created the Mayor's Manufacturing Partnership. The Partnership directly addresses the skills gap by working with companies to develop employer-driven training--training potential employees for specific job openings in manufacturing. Since the Partnership began in spring of 2012, more than 800 individuals have been trained, placed or advanced their skills in the manufacturing industry.

Julian Castro: 2009: Convened San Antonio Job Summit

On December 16, 2009, Mayor Julian Castro convened the 2009 San Antonio Job Summit, a half-day forum bringing together key stakeholders in the community. More than 100 leaders from the business and public sectors joined to provide answers to questions posed by President Obama's Forum on Jobs and Economic Development. The stakeholders represented the following economic sectors: manufacturing, aviation, technology, cyber security, government, insurance, utilities, communication, non-profit, education, small and micro-business, hospitality, labor, and local Chambers of Commerce. After presentations by Mayor Castro and a local economist on the state of the national, regional, and local economies, attendees were divided into 12 roundtable discussions. Conclusions on Federal Policy Implications include that the federal government should enact policies that encourage the resumption of lending nationwide.
