Project Director
Metropolitan Washington CareerPath Project
Metropolitan Washington CareerPath Project Overview
The Metropolitan Washington CareerPath Project (CareerPath) is an innovative, workforce development project that places unemployed workers-- initially dislocated DC General employees, and soon other workers-- into some of the region’s better jobs through developing employer/union partnerships in health care, hospitality, and construction. By using union relationships to convene and coordinate employers by sector, CareerPath will provide the most effective services both to those job-seekers and to some of the most significant employers in the area. As a project of the District of Columbia’s One Stop system, CareerPath will coordinate with other public services as well.
CareerPath is a project of the Community Services Agency (CSA) and the Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO. It was initialized with assistance from the AFL-CIO’s Working for America Institute (WAI) which will continue to provide technical and other assistance to the project. WAI’s responsibility is help the Agency develop its capacity to deliver state-of-the-art, best practice quality services (job counseling, training, job development and employer-partnership development, referral and placement).
