Project Accountant jobs in San Bernardino, CA

The Gateways to Opportunities Collaborative of the Inland Empire (GOCIE) brings a unique, interdisciplinary, partnership-based approach to advancing “people-readiness” at all levels that places emphasis on 1) elevating and strengthening career technical education (CTE) and 2) re-thinking the exposure, skills, and experience requirements needed both today and in the future in a manner that breaks down barriers between traditional silos. 

Through High Roads Training Partnerships (HRTPs), the California Workforce Development Board (CWDB) supports community-rooted and cross-sectoral collaboratives to advance a field of practice that simultaneously addresses urgent questions of income inequality, economic competitiveness, and climate change through regional skills strategies designed to support economically and environmentally resilient communities across the state. The industry-based, worker-focused training partnerships build skills for California’s “high road” employers — firms that compete based on the quality of product and service achieved through innovation and investment in human capital, and can thus generate family-supporting jobs where workers have agency and voice.

The GOCIE aims to increase skills and opportunities for African Americans with an emphasis on women, youth, justice-involved, and those displaced by COVID-19; while significantly expanding career pathways within well-documented, high-need, and high-risk areas across the critical infrastructure sectors of clean energy, transportation, and cybersecurity.

The lead agency, Youth Action Project (YAP), maintains legal, fiscal, and fiduciary responsibilities for the HRTP project, including managing grant funds in accordance with CWDB regulations, policies, and guidelines. 

YAP is seeking a Project Coordinator to continue establishing the GOCIE network and further its goals and objectives. The Project Coordinator is accountable to the Executive Director and the HRTP Steering Committee, a governing group of the anchor organizations.

The Project Coordinator will assist with the planning and facilitation of regional convenings of the business community, educational institutions, workers/worker representation groups, and subject-matter experts in the identified critical infrastructure-related careers. The Project Coordinator will also assist with resource development, lead project committees, and communicate with internal and external stakeholders. 

The Project Coordinator for GOCIE is a full-time, exempt, 12-month contract position with the opportunity for annual renewal.  The position includes a comprehensive benefits plan that includes employee medical, dental, vision, and life insurance, paid leave, qualified expense reimbursement, and a 403(b) retirement plan.

Youth Action Project is committed to providing equal opportunity for all. We do not discriminate in any aspect of employment or service because of race, color, sex, national origin, religion, age, mental or physical disability (including HIV/AIDS), sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, political affiliation, marital or parental status, military service or any other improper criterion.

Project Goals and Objectives: The Project Coordinator will work closely with the GOCIE Steering Committee and partnering organizations, documenting progress toward the completion of stated goals and deliverables.  The Project Coordinator should be familiar with, and embedded in the region, working both remotely and in person, as the project activities dictate. 

1. Identify and secure key partners, stakeholders, consultants, and project vendors.

2. Convene stakeholders to collaboratively develop an equity-based regional strategy that leads to an increase in the people-readiness, recruitment, employment, and retention of African Americans in the identified infrastructure-related career fields.

3. Synthesize data collected from stakeholder convenings to identify the education requirements, skills, and supportive services needed for entry, retention, and upward mobility of African Americans in career paths connected to the clean energy, transportation, and cybersecurity sectors.
