Indego has teamed up with the Better Bike Share Partnership and the City of Philadelphia’s Office of Transportation, Infrastructure, and Sustainability to launch Wheels to Work, a 4-week training course for adult job seekers that combines workforce development with learning about Indego and bicycling.
Participants will learn skills including building their resume and LinkedIn page, while completing assignments related to Indego and bike safety education. Each week starting May 7th, classes will be held online via Zoom. All the work for the course will be done online at the participants’ own pace.
