Menlo Park-based career and vocational training nonprofit JobTrain will have a new leader at its helm, starting Nov. 1.

Barrie Hathaway, who has been the executive director of the Stride Center in Oakland for the last 12 years, has been named JobTrain’s CEO.

Stride Center provides technical education and workforce and professional skills training for people “with barriers to employment” and has operations in Oakland, San Jose and San Pablo.

Mr. Hathaway is a former supply chain management executive who worked for Sun Microsystems, Bay Networks and Marconi Communications.

“This background, together with his understanding of workforce development, make him the right person for JobTrain now as we continue to grow and explore new possibilities,” said JobTrain board chair Tamar Pichette.

Steven Schmidbauer, chief operating officer, has been the interim president and CEO since June, when former CEO Nora Sobolov departed due to illness in her family. The search for the new CEO began in May, he said.
