1000 Opportunities Initiative

This summer, Mayor Bowser launched the 1000 Opportunities Initiative. The initiative was designed to match 1,000 D.C. residents with compensated workforce training and employment. It focuses on communities that have been the hardest hit by unemployment and scarcity of economic opportunity. With two weeks remaining, we are proud to report that we reached the 1,000 target, and continue to match even more residents with training and employment opportunities. Opportunity Seekers

DC residents are eager to participate in employment and training opportunities. Over 2,900 Opportunity Seekers have applied to participate in the Initiative through the 1000 Opportunities Initiative website. Of these:

● 41% of seekers have a high school degree or equivalent. ● 68% of seekers are from Wards 7 and 8. ● Most seekers are are between the ages of 15 and 75 with the average Opportunity

Seeker being 36 years of age (age range: 15-75). ● 37% of seekers self reported that they have 15+ years of work experience. ● 62% of seekers indicated that they are not employed. ● Most seekers are interested in multiple opportunities though one-quarter are

interested in Office and Administrative work. ● 6% of interested seekers were ineligible for the program due to non-DC residency.

Countless more seekers have sought placement through the DC Infrastructure Academy, the University of the District of Columbia, and the Department of Small and Local Business Development. 891 participants in the 1000 Opportunities Initiative registered through DOES’ DCNetworks. Below represents key demographics:
