Description
King County can leverage its multi-billion-dollar capital project budget to create career and workforce development opportunities within frontline communities affected by climate change. County capital project managers have reported wanting more resources to connect workforce development to their capital projects. King County will create a resource guide and sample contract language library for Capital project managers. This guide will help project managers access and use available tools, including small contractor and suppliers utilization, job training, internships, and employment opportunities for people from disadvantaged areas in their projects. The goal is to ensure that County projects benefit a diverse range of people and businesses.
