Commission hears Gateway Cities jobs and training hub presentation; staff to share link
Summary
Management Analyst Tara Reyes briefed the commission on gatewaycitieshub.org, an online regional resource connecting residents across 27 Gateway cities to career training, program details, and a five‑question career questionnaire; commissioners asked how residents can access the hub and staff said the URL will be shared.
Management Analyst Tara Reyes presented the Gateway Cities jobs and training resource hub to the Paramount Planning Commission on July 1, describing features intended to help residents find training and career pathways across the 27‑city Gateway region.
Reyes said the hub aggregates program information, including program duration, cost and financial aid details, and includes a five‑question career questionnaire that generates personalized recommendations by email. “The hub features career and technical educational programs in high demand fields such as sustainability, health care, logistics, and technology,” Reyes said, and demonstrated the ‘day in the life’ and ‘explore’ features that allow users to browse by industry sector, school or city.
Commissioners asked where residents could find the resource; Reyes said the hub is available at gatewaycitieshub.org and that staff would share access details and outreach toolkits. Staff recommended summer outreach to boost participation and noted the resource supports regional workforce development and sustainability goals.
The presentation concluded with no requests for action; the commission adjourned and will reconvene August 5, 2026.
