FIRST SOURCE PROGRAM Sample Clauses

The "First Source Program" clause establishes requirements for a party, typically a contractor or supplier, to give priority consideration to certain individuals or groups—often local residents or disadvantaged populations—when hiring for jobs or filling positions related to a project. In practice, this clause may require the party to notify a designated agency or workforce center of job openings and to interview or hire candidates referred by that source before considering other applicants. The core function of this clause is to promote local employment opportunities and ensure that economic benefits from a project are directed toward targeted communities or groups, addressing issues of unemployment or underemployment in those areas.
