Established in 1996, JOTF is an independent network of service providers, employers, and community members concerned about low-wage, low-skill employment, the insufficient numbers of jobs that pay family-supporting wages, and the impact of these issues on the economic development and revitalization of the Baltimore region. In 2000 JOTF incorporated at a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with full-time staff.

 
Our first major achievement was the publication in May 1999 of Baltimore Area Jobs and Low-Skill Job Seekers: Assessing the Gaps. This report describes and quantifies the region's workforce and total job market, and identifies strengths, opportunities, and problems. The problems include large concentrations of unemployed and unskilled residents; lack of enough jobs that offer adequate income, benefits, and career opportunities for these residents; lack of accessible public transportation to major job centers located throughout the region; and a scarcity of qualified workers for higher skill jobs.

We seek to integrate workforce development with economic and community development, and to respond to the workforce needs of both employers and job seekers. We bring together various components of the workforce system - employers, workers, job seekers, educators, trainers, service providers, public administrators, and policymakers - to identify what works, what needs to be changed, and how to improve outcomes.
