CANTON  The Greater Stark County Urban League has been awarded $50,000 to start a workforce development program for underserved residents.  Diane Robinson, president and CEO of the urban league, said LaunchPoint will offer  low- or no-cost training and job placement. A key part of the program is connecting clients to community services, such as transportation and childcare, to enable long-term employment. LaunchPoint will help the unemployed and underemployed obtain education and training that will move them into middle-skills jobs that pay living wages and also provide a path for career advancement, Robinson said. There are no eligibility requirements, but the program is intended to serve African American and Latino or Hispanic residents, she said. In addition to partnering with employers and community services, the urban league uses emotional intelligence, cultural competence and trauma-informed practices to overcome societal barriers.
