Good Jobs, Great Cities selection

Tempe has been selected to join a new national cohort to accelerate the city’s design and launch of a workforce initiative that builds pathways into good jobs.

The Good Jobs, Great Cities Academy, led by the National League of Cities and the Department of Labor, works with municipalities to spur innovative and scalable city-supported solutions that upskill and reskill workers into quality, high-demand jobs in infrastructure, clean energy and advanced manufacturing.

Tempe’s Office of Education, Career and Family Services will lead the city’s efforts, in collaboration with the Mayor’s Office and the city’s Economic Development Department and Sustainability and Resilience Office. Read the city's news release here.
