On Wednesday, March 9, 2022, Baltimore City’s Mayor Brandon Scott will hold a press conference at the Jane Addams Resource Center to formally announce Train Up - a free job training to unemployed and underemployed Baltimore City residents impacted by COVID-19.

The Mayor’s Office of Employment Development seeks responses to a Request for Proposals (RFP) to provide behavioral health services as a support service to participants in employment development programs.

The Baltimore City Board of Estimates approved the $250,000 American Rescue Plan Act, (ARPA) funds for the Mayor’s Office of Employment Development’s (MOED) apprenticeship initiative. MOED’s  Employer Services division will lead the apprenticeship program as part of MOED’s overall workforce strategy to help Baltimore employers and residents overcome the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. These funds offer incentives to Baltimore City employers to create apprenticeship opportunities that provide paid on-the-job skills training to workers.

Train Up: Community Connections For Baltimore City Residents in the COVID-19 Economic Recovery

The Baltimore City Mayor’s Office of Employment Development (MOED), on behalf of the Mayor and City Council, requests proposals for community-based organizations that will conduct intensive, neighborhood-based outreach to unemployed and underemployed residents in Baltimore City who are in need of training, employment and/or support services and who were impacted by the COVID-19 economic crisis.
