The mission of University City District’s (UCD) West Philadelphia Skills Initiative is to connect West Philadelphia employers seeking talent to West Philadelphians seeking opportunity. For 20 years, UCD has worked hand in hand with institutional partners to make University City a safe and vibrant community, and the Skills Initiative leverages those relationships in order to help local residents access opportunity and thrive in the workplace, while helping employers attract a talented, qualified local workforce.
Ninety-three percent of residents who have gone through the University City District program find employment after participating, so yeah, you could call its managers job search experts.
