In November of 2019, MTC Los Angeles Job Corps hosted their first Industry Council meeting, now known as the Workforce Council meeting, where community partners were invited on center as part of the new operator’s efforts for the center. The successful launch meeting was well attended despite the heavy rain & hail that occurred that morning.
Attendees included representatives from the following organizations:
AppleOne, Los AngelesTrade Tech College, Cisco Academy, CVS Pharmacy, Keck Medicine of USC, Los Angeles Harbor College, Goodwill and the County of Los Angeles Workforce Development, Aging & Community Services.
Staff had the pleasure of showcasing the variety of vocations and opportunities there are to work with the community to enhance technical training with labor market data. Like any center, they know how important it is to provide up to date training for students joining a competitive workforce. This meeting is now opening the doors for more community resources to join MTC L.A Job Corps in enhancing their vocations, offer more internships/apprenticeships, and increase their job placements for all of their students. Job Corps works and so do their staff when helping their students Succeed!
