The Mayor’s Office of Employment Development (MOED) is pleased to work with the developers of the new 25th Street Station to prepare Baltimore City residents for the employment opportunities associated with this project. With its commitment to community hiring, 25th Street Station will give a boost to our local economy by adding more than 700 jobs by the project’s planned opening. They include opportunities in retail and construction, as well as entry level and management positions. All job seekers, especially those with experience in retail, hospitality, customer service, food service or construction, are encouraged to contact us at 410-396-3009 or stop by one of our three One-Stop Career Center locations. Our professional staff will provide access to employment training and education opportunities that will help our City’s job seekers gain the required skills to compete for these future job openings.
