St. Pete Works program ends after five years
June 20, 2025 - The St. Pete Works job placement initiative will end this month after five years of connecting hundreds of residents with employment, career training and support services. St. Petersburg College partnered with the City of St. Petersburg and community organizations to facilitate the program, designed to bridge the gap between underserved job seekers and employers. SPC President Tonjua Williams called St. Pete Works "more than a job placement program - it was a symbol of hope, opportunity, and community-driven change."
