so in working on the police commission, i would use my listening skills and also my skills in trying to make sure that everybody is hearing correctly as well as watching out for the impact on the matter before us. members of the community, for example, perhaps researching what is happening in other cities around the matter, the mayor, indivudal supervisors who are close and work collaboratively with police commission, the police department, the community, and other branches of government. so in terms of mediation skills, that is my perspective on that. in terms of the racial issues you raised and how to deal with the multicultural community that we live in, i have noticed just living here and talking with folks that we have a number of policies already in place formally and informally to encourage and facilitate the understanding of people that speak where their first languages is other than english, and roughly a third of our city is comprised of folks whose first language is other than english, pointing to our importance to help us unerstand what they are saying and also for us to

want people to have diverse skills. as the jobs become more clear, if we need to change or switch up in terms of training and academies that we offer, we need to be able to do that. that would be across the board. supervisor maxwell: with often talk about women. construction is often male- dominated. what about things like retail jobs? would you have those kinds of things? >> you can see the proposed timeline and the staggering. the idea of the training is coming on line by september. we're getting folks ready for six or seven seconds. the real focus on retail is customer service. we have a number programs that are focused on basic job readiness skills. it is a lot of what you need in retail. is the basic stuff for entry- level jobs, team building, customer service, showing up on time, all of those kinds of things. depending on the kind of retail that winds up as part of this mix, we have learned with lowe's that those companies come in with a set of training that is specific for there's stores -- their stores. they've

carol kingsley possesses these skills. when she takes on something, she makes sure she is informed and understands the issue before making a decision or judgment. her integrity is beyond -- [buzzer] without question, mayor newsom could not have found a better person to serve on the police commission. the people of san francsico will be fortunate to have carol kingsley. i urge the committee to support her appointment. may i read a short letter from my wife in support of ms. kingsley? supervisor campos: any objection? go ahead. >> to members of the rules committee, the honorable david campos, alioto-pier, mar -- as a resident of district 2, a business owner and attorney, i unequivocally recommend carol kingsley to the police commission. i have known her since graduation from law school in 1981. carol is intelligent, a skilled analyst with good judgment and unwavering principles. she is tenacious and has a wonderful sense of humor. her commitment to whatever she tackles will make a difference to the police commission. i urge

but their skills are for the 80s and the 90s.nd we need people with skills to go forward into this decade so i can't put enough emphasis on education. and i hope that the people who are thinking about manufacturing careers realize that they going to be doing a lot of thinking and intuition on the floor and they're going to need all the education skills that they can get. >> and are these the kinds of things you are hearing from people you talk to inside these industries? >> yes, you know, look at the numbers of people who apply for jobs, new factories like honda and toyota and nissan and elsewhere. they can have their pick. and they don't need to pick someone because they performed well on the high school football team or because they were friends with someone. they can go through anything they want from analytical skills to braun to any kind of thinking on their feet. it's very tough. i actually once took the training program to become an autoworker at toyota. and i flunked after ten minutes. so clearly the skills that make you

all of that until we get a team are skills you can use individually. you can apply them to assisting the team. we focus on what it is you can do for yourself first and your neighbors. we teach incident command system. we teach about how to communicate with the fire department, which is not run to your station and knock on the door. it's about trying to maximize getting the most help to the greatest number of people when our resource are overwhelmed when all 300 of us our put in use how do you communicate what your individual needs are to the fire department. so we cover that in the training program. you get to practice the skills. we always have advanced training opportunity. we have drills where you practice using the skills you learned in the training. we communicate by e mail. we ask you continue with some of the skills every 2 years to renew and stay with the program. in keeping with this summit, nert is a community building program. it's neighbors reaching out to each other. once you graduate from the program it's about you staying involved in you

these are skills i hope to build upon in the future. having a job means a great deal to me. i have grown in confidence and a happy to get up in the morning as my life has purpose and meaning. [applause] i am able to pay my way and provide for my family, which has had a positive influence on our lives. i am able to spend time with my daughter and do the things with her instead of looking for a job and constantly worrying about money. this past month, i was able to buy her a bike and enroll early summer camp, which made us both very happy. [applause] i am now a positive role model for her, and to benefit from my improved attitude to life. finally, as a bonus, we get to use the service. i never knew how much she loved reading prior to working year. she read several books per week and we have for friends over for book review parties. it is hard to stop her from wanting to read all the time.

we teach skills. as i mentioned earlier, we talk about the lack of positive communication; that things have sort of flipped maybe from the time they were children to when they became an adolescent, things have flipped from positive communication to being characterized by negative communication. and how do you get that back? and greg, how did you get help? what type of treatment program were you exposed to? you know, after i was involved in a crisis, a car accident, you know, hospitalization, my family enrolled me into a chemical dependency residential program in pennsylvania and, you know, i spent 3 or 4 weeks there with a group of peers. so that was really an important part of my treatment was connecting with the 20 or 30 other young people that were just like me who used and drank just like me because, you know, i could denyi met her people in recovery or you know, came across other counselors and stuff, i could deny that i had an issue. but as soon as i heard from other young people my story and th

we need better systems of training and skills -- and better skills development to help them move into new industries. i come from a small business manufacturing background, and i have seen firsthand that unemployed workers who receive additional training for new skills can obtain a higher paying job which can radcally transform their way of life. we cannot afford to approach the work force and job needs of this country in a piecemeal way. the american people deserve a real comprehensive training bill. i introduced h.r. 4271, the work force investment act of 2009, to begin the process of re-authorization of weea. but unfortunately my bill has not been taken up by the education and labor committee. i do support this bill today. but i believe it's a disservice for the american people to not have an updated, comprehensive work force development bill, and i ask this congress to take full action on weea as soon as possible. i do ask my colleagues to support this bill before us, however, and i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves. the gentleman from

leadership skills, the goal attainment -- it was a fantastic class. it was a four-week academy where they learned a lot about themselves. again, we came from an environment where the explorer program is probably referencing exactly what you're talking about. each police station in los angeles had somewhere between 25 and 40 explores in each of those stations, leadership skills, and a lot of those explorers went on to beat full-time members of the police department. i think it is something that is severely needed here, and it is something i think can take a lot of discussion. it needs to be acted on. i concur with what you're saying. we lose people for retirement purposes. it would be nice to bring them in from the ground up at a younger age and to groom them in law enforcement if in fact that is what they desire to do for a career. i agree with you. that program needs to be propped up as soon as possible and needs to start going out into the community, bringing the young men and women in to give them an opportunity, and at the end of the day, even if
