San Antonio's Ready to Work workforce development program, created to help low-income residents train for higher-paying careers, could eventually end under a proposal from Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones to address the city's financial challenges.

Jones is asking the San Antonio City Council to consider redirecting the remaining funds from the voter-approved program as the city faces a projected $158 million budget deficit or seeks to increase borrowing capacity for the 2027 bond program.

Ready to Work was approved by San Antonio voters in 2020 and launched in 2022.
