Thanks to funding from @SkillWorks_MA we have exciting new developments coming at the Job Training Alliance, and we are excited to be working with @dre4theville and an organization that seeks to transform #workforceDevelopment

[SkillWorks @SkillWorks_MA]

In @BosBizJournal, our Executive Director, Andre Green @dre4theville, compels us to move beyond job training to transform #WorkforceDevelopment and ensure that all workers have the resources and growth trajectory they need to succeed.

@IamJonSantiago: "It is because of programs like @JTABoston and its organizations that my family is here... The social determinants of health is what keeps bringing patients back to BMC.. that is why I jumped in this race for Mayor of Boston." #bospoli #bostonstronger

“Immigrants are vital to our communities, and my work on this issue is personal to me.

My mother took ESL classes at UMass Boston, but there aren’t enough opportunities for people like her to learn English and support their families.” - @IamJonSantiago

@wutrain "This is a moment that we cannot let slip out of our grasp. We have the opportunity with federal funds, and political will - we cannot be putting Bandaids, but must deliver transformational change - Job Training will be a critical part of that." #bospoli #bostonstronger

[JTABoston @JTABoston]

@JohnFBarros "My parents came in with every little to no English - We must focus on English acquisition classes. I know that the members of JTA are partnering with immigrant communities [and we must continue that]." #bospoli #bostonstronger

[JTABoston @JTABoston]

"Access to job training and programs should be available to folks regardless of their immigration status. Programs should be free and include ESL training. How do we eliminate barriers?" - @andreaforboston #bospoli #bostonstronger

[JTABoston @JTABoston]

"The times that I have visited @JVS, @AACA - you know what we need to do for our new Americans. I was proud to lead the charge to make sure Boston passed a language access ordinance." -@wutrain #bostonstronger #bospoli

[JTABoston @JTABoston]

"In my job on Beacon Hill, I have been committed to fighting for immigrants. I have continued to be a sponsor of the #safecommunitiesAct and the Driving Families Forward Act." #bosstronger #bospoli #mapoli
