Overview of Doris Ward Workforce Development Employment & Training Program
EMPLOYMENT/ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT–The Doris Ward Workforce Development Employment & Training Program began in San Francisco in 2011 and has added a parenting and civic engagement component to the job readiness curriculum. The program, which has served over 270 in San Francisco (with a 60% employment rate), engages unemployed/underemployed women and provides a hour stipend for program participation. Created by former chapter member and chairperson of the NCBWSF Golden Girls ‘Bridging the Generations’ Hats and Gloves Tea, Jackie Wright, the program received NCBW’s National Economic Development Program of the Year Award in its first year. The Doris Ward Workforce Development Employment & Training Program (The Program) objectives are to see (1) Black female trainees obtain workforce skills by enrolling in hospitality/restaurant industry skills trainings (2) At least 70-80% complete vocational training (completion of 12+ instruction hours per trainee); (3) At least 70% obtain employment by completing their job shadowing training for up to a 90-day period (4) 70% will ultimately be placed in unsubsidized employment.
*Although SF visitor spending is expected to net a 42% decrease from 2019 to 2021 due to COVID-19 [SF Travel], SF’s Black women have an opportunity to obtain individual skills during the City’s imminent rebuilding.
NCBWSF Program participants will: (1) Obtain skills
relevant to one of the City’s most primary industries, tourism (through its
connection to the food/hospitality industries); (2) Improve the City’s overall
economic condition; and (3) Work towards individual self-sufficiency.
The program speaks directly to NCBWSF’s mission where gender equity and sociopolitical advancement drives
meaningful change to benefit women of color. For more than 40 years nationally,
NCBW Inc. has provided the foundation for leadership in the service of Black
Women. For nearly 20 years locally,
NCBWSF has supported Black women through programs that elevate their quality of
life, drive solutions to their issues of concern, and that build their own
personal and professional development, all leading to overall empowerment.
Meeting each of these core values, The Doris Ward Workforce
Development/Job Training Program is an exemplary model for driving equitable
pathways to good paying jobs and to addressing challenges to diversity and
inclusion in the lives of San Francisco’s Black women.

Our Black History. Vaccinations. Read. Stop the Conspiracy and Misinformation on Vaccinations. January 2022
It comes down to a matter of capitalism\profit vs the good of the community and society.
'.....since 1706, when preacher Cotton Mather learned it from Onesimus, a man he held as a slave, who – like many of his peers – had been inoculated in Africa before they were kidnapped.[46] This practice was widely criticized at first.[47] However, a limited trial showed six deaths occurred out of 244 who were variolated (2.5%), while 844 out of 5980 died of natural disease (14%), and the process was widely adopted throughout the colonies.'
RE-EDUCATION for the benefit of the communities and society?
What of those accused of corruption at at national level globally?
Are they prosecuted?
Jail time in their nation of origin?
Flight to foreign nation for avoid court trail?

Finally!
It shouldn’t be a surprise that a jury found Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes
guilty this afternoon on four charges
of fraud and conspiracy. It was obviously hard for jurors to
look past evidence that, for example, Holmes had doctored paperwork by adding
the logos of pharmaceutical companies such as Pfizer to suggest they were
believers in Theranos’ technology. Holmes now faces as long as 20 years in
prison.
There’s
a case to be made that Holmes shouldn’t go to prison, though. After all, what
would it achieve? Her career as an entrepreneur is over. After a conviction on
charges of defrauding investors, it’s hard to imagine anyone would back her in
another venture. The U.S. imprisons people at a far higher
rate than any other country—and of course it is
disproportionately people of color who are the victims, not white people like
Holmes. Even so, we routinely accept prison as a penalty without thinking
through the logic of whether it makes sense.
And
it has to be said that there is a degree of unfairness in how Holmes has been
treated. Is she the only entrepreneur who has pushed past the line of hype and
exaggeration into outright falsehoods? Surely not. Holmes became a business
icon, in the media as much as among some investors, because she was a young
female founder—occupying a role usually played by men. That set her up for a
harder fall, but it doesn’t justify a prison sentence.
The Global Conference on Hop Hop Education on February 3-8 2021
Our objective with the GCHHE is to bring together scholars, artists, advocates and practitioners who engage in Hip Hop to both define Hip Hop Pedagogy, and explore how Hip Hop Pedagogy can be used to empower our global community. Due to the ongoing spike of COVID-19, the Global Conference on Hip Hop Education will be held virtually again! Nevertheless, we are excited to explore what Hip Hop pedagogy looks like during these times. This year, the theme is "Exploring the Foundation of Hip Hop History and Education" and is co-sponsored by HHAAE and ASA College.
