Health Foundation Funds Program to Assist Anchors in Filling Vacant Positions

Workforce Development

Two Anchor Members (Miami Dade County Public Schools and the City of Miami) partnered with Catalyst Miami, a community-based organization, to support recruiting individuals for hard-to-fill positions identified by the Anchors. Catalyst Miami assigned job candidates a Workforce Navigator to help them through the application process and connect them to rapid certification programs. Through the program, which began in 2021 and concluded in 2023, 143 individuals gained employment at Miami Dade County Public Schools and the City of Miami.
