Supervisors Approve $2 Million Program to Help Residents Land Jobs, Support Local Businesses
Redwood City — The San Mateo County Board of Supervisors today approved a $2 million program intended to help county residents land full-time jobs while supporting local businesses that are adding new positions.
Proposed by District Three Supervisor Ray Mueller, the Workforce Entry & Economic Growth Initiative allows the County to subsidize the wages of new hires who are entering or returning to the workforce, including recent graduates and other adults who recently completed degree or certificate programs.
The subsidies would be available to small and medium-sized businesses that create new, full-time positions and meet program requirements. The Board approved the program on a 5-0 vote.
