Rodriguez Focuses Campaign on State Employment Opportunities
TRENTON, NJ – Mayoral candidate Oscar Rodriguez is centering his campaign around improving access to state employment opportunities for Trenton residents, highlighting what he calls a disparity in local hiring practices. Rodriguez has spent the past week touring the city,holding meetings with community groups and outlining a plan to actively recruit and prepare Trentonians for available positions within state government.
“Too frequently enough,Trenton residents are overlooked for good-paying jobs right here in our state,” Rodriguez stated during a campaign stop Tuesday. “We need a proactive approach to ensure our community benefits from the economic engine that is New Jersey state government.”
Rodriguez’s plan includes establishing a dedicated job training program tailored to the requirements of common state positions, partnering with local educational institutions to offer relevant coursework, and advocating for a more transparent and equitable hiring process within state agencies. He argues that increased local employment will boost the city’s economy and reduce reliance on social services.
