Analysis
This resolution enables implementation of the Compete Milwaukee program in 2018, using an organizational structure similar to that of the 2017 program. Compete Milwaukee is a partnership between Mayor Barrett, the Common Council, workforce development agencies and private employers. Compete Milwaukee makes strategic workforce development investments that will address the problem of underemployment among Milwaukee residents. The approximately $539,000 Compete Milwaukee 2018 program, with an additional $452,000 in leveraged State and Federal funding, will consist of the following components:

1. Community Work Partnership - Transitional Jobs. Authorized 2018 Community Development Block Grant funds will be combined with approximately $200,000 included in the 2018 Budget and $452,000 in leveraged State and Federal funds, to provide the funding necessary to place and compensate approximately 70 transitional job placements within City departments (Public Works, Neighborhood Services, Police, and the Port) and City contractor work sites in 2018.

2. Career Pathways. Authorized 2018 Community Development Block Grant funds will be used to provide the skills training and certification that program participants need to secure permanent, unsubsidized employment in the private sector. The City will contract with Wisconsin Regional Training Partnership/Big Step (WRTP) for these purposes.

3. Employ Milwaukee - Workforce Development Services. Authorized 2018 Community Development Block Grant funds and 2018 Budget funds will be used for the contracted services of Employ Milwaukee to support the delivery of workforce development services and reporting to City agencies on Compete Milwaukee participant progress.
