The City of Phoenix is one of 15 cities awarded $1 million dollars in the 2021-22 Bloomberg Philanthropies Global Mayors Challenge, to drive futures forward with a data-directed Mobile Career Unit (MCU) that helps unemployed residents overcome barriers and obtain employment.
Trainings, enrolling in career services, creating an email account, computer access and interview opportunities (virtual and in-person) are some of the many tools available with the MCU.
