The City of San Francisco's recent government meeting highlighted significant achievements in workforce development tied to the construction of the California Pacific Medical Center (CPMC). Key discussions centered around the successful hiring initiatives that have exceeded expectations, particularly in meeting diversity and local business goals.

The meeting revealed that construction requirements were completed in July 2019, with Sutter contractors surpassing hiring goals for both union apprentice candidates and journeymen. Notably, the local business enterprise program goals were also exceeded during the construction period, showcasing a commitment to community engagement and economic inclusion.

In a detailed report on the First Source Hiring Program, it was noted that CPMC operations have successfully met their requirement to hire at least 40% of entry-level positions from a designated referral network. As of July 2022, this goal was surpassed, achieving a 47% success rate with 48 hires made from a total of 102 referrals. Impressively, 67% of these new hires came from priority neighborhoods, underscoring the program's focus on supporting local communities.

These accomplishments reflect a strong commitment to workforce development and community engagement, setting a positive precedent for future projects in San Francisco. The city anticipates continued success in these initiatives, which not only enhance employment opportunities but also foster economic growth in underserved areas.
