Work and Earnings

The West Side of San Antonio has yet to realize its full economic potential. To do so, our residents need to increase skills and knowledge through workforce training. Once trained, our communities require links to jobs with salaries that will comfortably support our families. MC-SA supports several initiatives in workforce and earnings.

City of San Antonio, Department of Community Initiatives has taken the lead role in convening a table of partners working on strategies for small business development. Partners meet regularly and mentor fledgling small businesses in our neighborhoods.

The Westside Education and Training Center (WETC) utilizes an innovative and comprehensive approach to train and place workers in high-paying job pipelines that includes:

• Niche training closely matched to jobs by large San Antonio employers

• Courses transferable to two- and four-year colleges

• Dual credit course that provide high school and college credit
