About this listen
In this episode we explore San Antonio's Ready to Work program, a transformative workforce development initiative funded by voter-approved sales tax. City Manager Erik Walsh, Advisory Board Chair Ben Peavy (Accenture), and Program Director Mike Ramsey discuss how this program is connecting local employers with trained talent while transforming lives across the community. With over 24,000 people through the intake process and 1,100+ companies hiring from the program, Ready to Work is bridging the gap between employers' needs and job seekers from underserved communities. Learn how businesses of all sizes can tap into this workforce pipeline, the role of apprenticeships, and why this represents the largest economic development investment a city is making in itself anywhere in the country.
