A key part of the oversight system that will take charge of San Antonio’s four-year, $154 million workforce development plan has been settled mostly.
By a 10-1 vote Thursday, the City Council named a nine-member panel to guide the Ready to Work program approved by voters in November and advise Mayor Ron Nirenberg and council members on vital matters when it comes to helping some 40,000 residents enroll in job training and college degree programs.
The panel will weigh in on what skills are in demand from employers, how the city should determine the number of slots for training certificates and college degrees and how to support participants outside the classroom. City Council will have the final say.

medical imaging– today’s health care providers have access to increasingly accurate images with which to screen, diagnose and guide them when treating patients.
Mammography might be the best known of the technologies. Long a standard in women’s healthcare, millions of women the world over have had this screening that can detect a cancerous growth in the early stages or before it begins to spread.
