| LEAP Creates Real Opportunities for Dedicated Workers |
|
As a tool to tackle unemployment in Tacoma, the City Council and Public Utility Board developed LEAP in March 1997.
Since its inception, LEAP's purpose has been to level the playing field for citizens seeking employment opportunities. The program is helping more workers get family wage jobs.
From 2007 through 2012 LEAP has achieved a 16% local resident/apprentice utilization on City of Tacoma, Public Works projects. |
|
LEAP's Mission: To provide residents of Tacoma, particularly those from the Community Empowerment Zone, with training and support services necessary to complete apprenticeship requirements which lead to family-wage jobs in the building and construction trades.
