Pathways to Work (PTW)
at a Glance
Our Mission:
To bring together people in
need of casual work regardless of race,
national origin and gender as part of an
organized and fair system of obtaining
employment. We provide opportunities for
education and training in various aspects
of life such as job skills, language, safety,
civics and worker rights and duties. We do
this in an environment of respect, support,
cooperation and harmony, thus making
our community a better place to live for
everyone.
PTW is a nonprofit coalition of community
and faith-based groups who have
come together to provide a pathway for
linking day laborers with employers. To
this end, we provide a workers’ center
where workers and their employers
can meet and connect.
What Makes This Work
The core component of a successful
workers’ center is a strong referral system.
• PTW's staff registers workers and
confirms their identities.
• PTW workers obtain jobs according to a rotation approved by the workers, but you may ask “by name” for a specific worker again.
• PTW workers are implementing several quality control measures, such as a worker
evaluation form.
