Summary:

The CONNECT program at The Neighborhood Developers seeks a dynamic Workforce Development manager to join a new and growing Workforce Development Unit dedicated to both rapid reemployment and building long-term sustainable jobs while working in coalition with other partners. This is an exciting time to help develop and lead our Workforce team serving the diverse neighborhoods of Chelsea, Revere and Everett. This is a full time, exempt position reporting to the CONNECT Director. The position is hybrid with some in-person work and some work-from-home.

Overview:

The Neighborhood Developers (TND) is a community development corporation based in Chelsea and serving Chelsea, Revere and Everett.

CONNECT provides direct services for residents of Chelsea, Revere and Everett and also works with partner organizations to ensure those residents receive holistic services. We have just created a new Workforce Development Unit and are working closely with local partners to help get our community members back to work.

Chelsea and the surrounding communities were hard hit by the pandemic –with a great deal of job loss and financial instability for our low income, largely immigrant communities– so this is a particularly important time for work force development in the area and the Workforce Development Manager could make a critical difference in our constituent families’ lives.

The Workforce Development Manager oversees the in-house job navigator staff and handles a caseload of job-seeking clients. The Workforce Development Manager, working closely with CONNECT’s Director, also manages the strategic mission for the unit and develops new policies, processes and programs as necessary.

The Workforce Development Manager serves as one of the primary liaisons and managers of CONNECT / TND’s broader workforce development efforts. The Workforce Development Manager work in coalition with our community based and municipal partners on broader reform efforts to help promote economic mobility among the under- resourced, largely immigrant, communities we serve. The Workforce Development Manager will serve as a primary liaison, along with the CONNECT Director, to the Chelsea Good Jobs Coalition, Revere Works, and Mass Up (a cross-city coalition that links GJC and Revere Works under a special grant).

Working with other coalition members, the Manager will help develop a policy advocacy agenda and other vehicles to promote broader workforce development in Chelsea and Revere.
