JOTF ACHIEVES THESE AIMS THROUGH ADVOCACY, PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT, PUBLIC EDUCATION, AND RESEARCH. ADVOCACY: JOTF IS A LEADING VOICE ON WORKFORCE ISSUES IN MARYLAND, SUPPORTING A WIDE RANGE OF PUBLIC POLICY INITIATIVES AND BUDGET DECISIONS, INCLUDING INCREASED INVESTMENT IN ADULT EDUCATION AND TRAINING, INCREASED ACCESS TO WORKPLACE BENEFITS SUCH AS PAID SICK DAYS, INCREASING ACCESS TO EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH CRIMINAL RECORDS, EXPANDING THE EARNED INCOME CREDIT, AND UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE REFORM AMONG OTHERS. PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT: JOTF DESIGNS TRAINING PROGRAMS THAT CREATE CAREER PATHWAYS IN HIGH GROWTH INDUSTRIES THAT HELP LOW-WAGE WORKERS ENTER THE MARKET AND ADVANCE INTO HIGH-WAGE CAREERS.

THIS HANDS-ON TRAINING PROGRAM HAS HELPED OVER 400 RESIDENTS ENTER THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY.

RESEARCH AND PUBLIC EDUCATION: JOTF RESEARCHES PROJECTS THAT LAY THE GROUNDWORK FOR FUTURE POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS. WE ALSO HOST OR COHOST A NUMBER OF FREE PUBLIC EVENTS EACH YEAR ON A WIDE VARIETY OF PUBLIC POLICY ISSUES.
