creating hundreds of additional
jobs.)

• Be a creative partner.
Engage colleges, especially
Oakland Community College,
as an ongoing partner in
training or retraining Jewish
community members for jobs
in the pipeline (ACCESS, the
Arab Community Center for
Economic and Social Services
in Dearborn, has a relationship
with Oakwood Health System
and Henry Ford Community
College. Oakwood identifies
the job skills it needs. Then,
ACCESS and Henry Ford col-
laborate to deliver candidates
with these skills.)

• Reach out to Ann Arbor
for opportunities. Think
beyond Metro Detroit. The
University of Michigan con-
tinues to be the state's major
spawning ground for startup
businesses, innovation, creativ-
ity and new economy jobs (Ann
Arbor SPARK is a national
model for growing, retain-
ing and attracting business to
Southeastern Michigan and a
source of job leads.)

• Coordinate what we have.
Bring order and efficiency to
our existing hodge-podge of
agencies, organizations and
networking groups by creat-
ing a reliable central address
for jobs and job creation in
the Jewish community (For
starters, do a reassessment of
ParnossahWorksDetroit).
Can the community afford
a job czar? Based on the chal-
lenges we face in Michigan and
especially in our Jewish com-
munity, can we afford not to
have one? Federation has the
financial means. It needs to
match them up with priorities
that revitalize our own Jewish
community and help assure its
survival. ❑
