SA: Ready to Work

After being approved by voters 18 months ago, Ready To Work is taking its first applications this week. The job training program is expected to place more than 15,000 people in jobs by the time it ends in the late-2020s.

SA Ready to Work — the $229 million, voter-approved job program — passed following the worst unemployment spell the city has seen in generations. Now with San Antonio experiencing historic low unemployment, do we still need job training?

San Antonio’s $180 million job training program SA Ready to Work is nearly ready to open applications after the San Antonio City Council approved several final contracts Thursday.
