The city of Hartford has launched an online database of municipal job openings available to city residents to ensure the city and its partners comply with hiring and community-benefits pacts.
Mayor Pedro E. Segarra, Council President Shawn T. Wooden and Councilwoman Cynthia R. Jennings announced Tuesday the launch of JobsforHartford.com.
The website connects residents with city jobs. It also is being used to develop a database of residents who are looking for work. The database will be shared with contractors on public and private development projects in Hartford, as well as other potential employers.
Residents of any profession, trade or skillset are encouraged to register on the website. They must provide a Hartford address, work experience and specialized training and to list any permits or licenses.
“This is about getting Hartford residents back to work and ensuring that they benefit from current and future development that comes to the city,’’ Segarra said.
The Hartford Hires Task Force, set up in April 2014 and chaired by Jennings, spearheaded development of the JobsforHartford.com website, he said.
