The Baltimore City Mayor’s Office of Employment Development (MOED), on behalf of the Mayor and City Council, requests proposals for adult education services as part of the Train Up program to help residents obtain their GED and/or improve their grade levels in literacy and/or math so that they can more easily access occupational skills training programs and/or so that they can enter employment with higher literacy levels.

Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake announced the appointment of Jason Perkins-Cohen as director of the Mayor's Office of Employment Development (MOED)—the office responsible for workforce development initiatives responsive to the needs of Baltimore City employers and job seekers. Perkins-Cohen succeeds longtime MOED director Karen Sitnick, who retired last month.
