High Road Training Partnership Resilient Workforce Program (RWP)- Round 3

Details
Purpose:
This evolution informs the HRTP Resilient Workforce Program (RWP). HRTP RWP aims to achieve the HRTP Initiative's objectives by funding training partnerships that increase access to quality jobs for workers from disadvantaged and underrepresented communities and to create advancement for incumbent workers already employed by high road employers.
Description:
California and CWDB is committed to strengthening the 'High Road' economy. The High Road vision consists of four elements:
·Design quality jobs. Job quality refers to jobs that pay at or above local or regional living wages, provide health and retirement benefits, create safe working conditions, establish fair and predictable scheduling practices, include worker voice and agency, and ensure career advancement opportunities are equitable and transparent.
·Ensure equity for workers. Equity ensures that gender, race, ethnicity, or other demographic characteristics do not affect access to and/or advancement in quality jobs. Equity within the context of High Road means economic equity and therefore requires close attention to job quality.
·Amplify worker voice. Worker voice refers to creating opportunities for workers to participate in decisions that affect their livelihoods. These opportunities can occur through many types of structures, including, but not limited to labor unions, worker centers, labor-management partnerships, or other entities with a demonstrated history of providing consistent and independent worker voice that informs employer decision-making.
· Invest in environmental sustainability. Environmental sustainability refers to supporting efforts toward a carbon-neutral economy. Supporting these efforts requires giving special attention to industry sectors on the frontlines of the transition to a carbon-neutral economy (e.g., energy generation and distribution, buildings and construction, vehicle and components manufacturing, forestry services, and agriculture).
