Phoenix, USA
Creating a mobile resource for job seekers
Winner of the 2021 Bloomberg Philanthropies Global Mayors Challenge, the US city of Phoenix, Arizona is working to bridge the divide between jobseekers and potential employers with “Mobile Career Units” that provide targeted support to job seekers where they live—including trainings, interview opportunities, translation services, and connections to employers ready to hire them on the spot.
