Myrtle’s Message
Quality Jobs & Workforce Development “Workforce Development is about getting people the right skills for the right jobs at the right time.” - Anonymous
Quality Jobs and Workforce Development are top
priorities for me. I’m connecting Fourth Council District residents with job opportunities on my
weekly job board but my commitment doesn’t stop there. I am also Vice Chair of the San
Diego Workforce Partnership’s San Diego
Consortium Policy Board.
The San Diego Consortium Policy Board
determines the final approval of funding
initiatives, objectives, and policy. Our focus is on maximizing stewardship and our priority is to
distribute funds in the most accountable, effective, and transparent manner. We work to get people the right skills for the right jobs at the right time!
San Diego Workforce Partnership (SDWP) funds programs that provide eligible youth with work experience and work readiness. SDWP also funds job training programs that enable eligible
adults to develop the skills and knowledge needed to meet the needs of regional employers. Their network of career centers and community partners assist eligible job seekers with job
training. One of these premier career centers is in the Fourth Council District. The South Metro
Career Center located at 4389 Imperial Avenue, San Diego, CA 92113.

Infrastructure Improvements | Holly Drive Improvements
Project Groundbreaking Ceremony
I am excited to announce that we will break ground on this $1.89 million project that will provide for construction of curbs, gutters,
sidewalks, driveways, curb ramps, and pavement on Holly Drive from South Willie James Jones Avenue to South Euclid Avenue.
This is a community event and open to the public. The Groundbreaking Ceremony is scheduled for Wednesday, April
30th at 11:30 a.m. The staging area will be at the corner of Holly
Drive and Willie James Jones.
Cesar Chavez Day
On Monday, March 31st, City offices were closed in observance of
Cesar Chavez’s birthday. We took this day to honor and reflect on the
tremendous contribution made by Cesar Chavez who was a labor leader, civil rights activist, historical icon and visionary.

Creación de Empleos Calidad y Desarrollo del trabajador
La creación de empleos de calidad y el desarrollo de los trabajadores son prioridades para mí. Cada vez
más residentes del Distrito 4 encuentran empleo gracias a la bolsa de empleo que se publica en mi
boletín semanal, mi compromiso no termins ahí. También soy vice presidenta del Comité de Políticas de
la Asociación de Trabajadores de San Diego (SDWP).
El Comité de Políticas de la Asociación de Trabajadores de San Diego identifica y aprueba los fondos para
las iniciativas y políticas a implementar. Nuestro objetivo es maximizar la administración y distribuir los
fondos de una manera efectiva y transparente.
La Asociación de Trabajadores de San Diego ayuda a capacitar adultos para que desarrollen las
habilidades y conocimientos que buscan las empresas regionales. Su amplia red incluye a centros de
capacitación y centros comunitarios, los cuales ayudan en la búsqueda y capacitación de los trabajadores.
Uno de estos centros se encuentra en el Distrito 4. El South Metro Career Center está ubicado en 4389
Imperial Avenue, San Diego, CA 92113.

Natalicio de Cesar Chávez
El martes 31 de Marzo las oficinas de la ciudad de San Diego fueron cerradas para conmemorar el
Natalicio de Cesar Chávez. Durante ese día reflexionamos y celebramos el legado de Cesar Chávez, líder
de los trabajadores, activista de derechos civiles e icono de la historia.
