CITY OF TUCSON WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT
Workforce Development is defined as activities and services
aimed at: 1) making all Tucson citizens (from children to adults)
motivated, productive, and competitive in the new economic age; and
2) positioning the local business community in this new economic age
so that it can develop and produce high value products and good paying
jobs with career pathways for Tucsonans. The table below identifies
city funding of workforce development in two areas: building capacity
of individuals and building capacity of businesses.
The workforce development funding reflected in this table
represents program allocations for Fiscal Year 1999-00. The Fiscal Year
2000-01 Recommended Budget does not include a recommendation for total
workforce development funding because it has been the cityís and the
Mayor and Councilís practice to determine workforce development allocations
as part of several distinct funding processes. These processes include
Outside Agencies, Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Supportive
Housing Program, and Unallocated Youth Funding, in addition to the regular
city budget process.
In addition to directly funding workforce development
programs and services, the city participates in the allocation of federal
Workforce Investment Act dollars by sitting on the Pima County Workforce
Investment Board.
