Five Action Areas to Increase Access to Opportunity

Launch more sector strategies

for workforce development that

offer a larger menu of pathways into family supporting

careers.

Increase the availability,

awareness, and completion of Adult

Basic Education (ABE) and GED

preparation courses.

Improve the availability of transportation between low-

income neighborhoods and

high-growth job centers.

Eliminate policies, practices, and

institutional cultures that promote and

support structural racism that leads to biases against people of color.

Increase the level of resources available to industry and

workforce development organizations.

…the  majority  of  the  opportuni2es  come  from  replacement  jobs,  not  job  growth  

Goal  A:  Improve  pathways  to  the  middle    

Photo  of  an  appren2ce  readiness  program  in  proper  use  of  harnesses.  

1. Expand job-focused basic skills training.

2. Establish industry-driven, sector-based regional training partnerships.

3. Improve career navigation systems and support pathways, at the K-12 level and beyond.

Goal  B:  Grow  the  economy,  with  an  emphasis  on  middle-­‐wage  jobs  

4. Focus economic development resources on industries of opportunity, business formation and expansion and policy coordination among jurisdictions.

5. Develop land use plans that support transit-oriented jobs, industrial uses and housing.

6. Rebuild and expand infrastructure in a way that supports economic development and job growth.

7. Manage the region’s transportation as an integrated system that is easy to navigate.

Goal C: Upgrade conditions in existing lower-wage jobs with an emphasis on increasing workers’ economic security.

8. Raise the floor by increasing minimum standards for equal opportunity, working conditions and compensation.

9. Organize and professionalize industries to improve wages, benefits and career ladders.

10. Establish standards to ensure that investment of public dollars is aligned with the goal of economic opportunity.

Oakland  Army  Base  

To achieve economic prosperity, we have to balance pathways to the middle, economic growth and economic security.
