Historic Stakeholders' Meeting

3/1/2023

0 Comments

 
WIN (Workforce Investment Network) peer mentors, Golden Gate Transit and Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1575 leadership attended the annual apprenticeship stakeholders meeting held at the College of Marin. Also in attendance were California Transit Works, College of Marin and Santa Rosa Junior College (SJRC) staff, and John Dunn from the Bay Area Community College Consortium.

The attendees went over the progress made in the last year and discussed what is working and what needs to be improved. They presented an overview of the program, best practices, and building and implementing the apprenticeship program. SRJC did a presentation on the Pre-Apprenticeship Program and we ended with the road ahead and what to expect. 

​What an inspiring day to watch this incredible group work together during this historic gathering of Colleges, Labor, and Management!

Mentorship: It Takes Heart

“The training and mentorship programs position transit workers as leaders who set quality service standards for the industry, provide support to new workers, take ownership of operations, and create solutions rather than problems…As a testament to the power of integrated worker voice, the mentoring program creates leaders in both management and unions, who in turn reinforce the value of working in partnership.”

​On Thursday, November 18th, CTW was invited by ZEBRA (Zero Emissions Bus Resource Alliance), to give a presentation on ZEB impacts on frontline worker training programs. ZEBRA (Zero Emissions Bus Resource Alliance) is composed of 48 agencies whose goal is to advance transit agencies’ capacity for ZEB adoption through information exchange, training programs, shared research and public education. We at CTW are excited to be working together with key personnel to meet the 2040 mandate that requires all buses in California to be all electric or hydrogen fuel cell by 2040.
