Workforce Development

Everyone deserves a fair shot at a good job. Yanna plans to:

•​ Support Career Changers: Launch a program to help professionals transition into teaching roles, addressing the critical need for more educators while supporting those seeking fulfilling new careers. By streamlining certification and providing resources, this initiative can help alleviate teacher shortages while tapping into the talents of experienced professionals. Communities will benefit from passionate, well-prepared educators in their schools.

​•​ Prepare for Green Jobs: Develop training programs for careers in renewable energy and infrastructure, aligning with federal investments in a sustainable future. These industries are growing rapidly, and preparing workers now ensures our community can benefit from the job opportunities they bring. This initiative will create pathways to high-paying, long-term careers while contributing to environmental sustainability.

​•​ Help Migrants Succeed: Provide language classes, job training, and support with work authorization to help migrants join and thrive in the workforce. Helping migrants integrate into the local economy not only improves their quality of life but also strengthens the entire community. By addressing barriers to employment, we can create a more inclusive and economically vibrant district.
