Maricopa County strives to promote a diverse and inclusive environment that accepts individual’s differences, embraces their strengths, fosters inclusion, and helps all employees achieve their full potential (Policy A1510, 2020). Understanding the importance and necessity for a diverse and equitable workforce is a staple for Maricopa County. The 20 of 21 Maricopa County Workforce Development Division (WDD) is working to attract Maricopa County residents who have previously been excluded from the labor market into careers. WDD provides comprehensive workforce services for job seekers and employers in Maricopa County. They operate two comprehensive career centers and offer services at partner sites and Maricopa County Library District locations across the Valley. At these sites, WDD provides services to assist career seekers in gaining the knowledge and skills to become self-supporting. Special programs exist to provide help for participants who are laid off, low income, and/or veterans. Services provided at no-cost include apprenticeships, career exploration, computer labs, interview skills training, job leads, labor market information, occupational skills training, resume assistance, and support services. The WDD places a prioritization on in-demand industries, many of which directly reflect the workforce needed for clean energy programs and projects such as construction, advanced manufacturing, and roles within information technology. Support of these industries can take shape in many forms, however, the most common provided include: • Career Pathing and Exploration for those curious about the industry • Tuition support for occupational skills training programs leading to industry recognized credentials • Tuition support for Registered Apprenticeship Programs, most of which support the above mentioned industries, including four different programs supporting electricians. The WDD also proves employer services, such as job postings, wage comparisons, and other useful labor market information of interest to companies just starting up or actively recruiting. The WDD conducts ten job fairs or hiring events per quarter across the valley, ensuring the entire workforce in Maricopa County has equitable access to information and opportunities provided by EV and Clean Energy Companies. 21 of 21 SCHEDULE K CIVIL RIGHTS AND TITLE VI 1.
