~ Rochester Launches Mobile Workforce Development Shuttle to Bring Career Resources to Residents

Mayor Malik D. Evans has announced the launch of a new mobile workforce development shuttle in the City of Rochester. The shuttle, operated by the Department of Recreation and Human Services, aims to provide residents with career readiness resources and employment information directly in their neighborhoods.

According to Mayor Evans, this initiative is about supporting Rochester residents where they are. "We're bringing job resources, career support, and opportunities directly to the neighborhoods that need it most," he said. "Whether someone is just starting out, changing career paths, or looking for a second chance, we can now come to you because we believe in your future."

City Council Vice President LaShay Harris also emphasized the importance of workforce development programs in supporting residents. "This new mobile unit and the staff who operate it will improve access to employment and workforce development resources and opportunities for those with transportation barriers," she said.

Residents are encouraged to take advantage of this new resource and learn more about workforce development.
