Sierra Jobs First - Coordinator

Project Description: MLTPA is pleased to have been identified as an Industry Sector Coordinator assisting the Sierra Jobs First team in support of the “Sustainable Recreation and Tourism” industry sector for the Sierra Jobs First Collaborative. Industry Sector Coordinators are boots-on-the-ground specialists, deeply knowledgeable about the industries and communities they serve. They are available to provide one-on-one, specialized technical assistance and counsel on Catalyst and Implementation processes and protocols and to facilitate representation, engagement, and collaboration within sectors. The Collaborative seeks to engage Sector Investment Coordinators to advise on how to fund $9 million in pre-development activities and provide technical assistance for Catalyst and Implementation Fund grant applications in execution of the California Jobs First Catalyst grant awarded to the region.
