  3. JOBS!



Community Partners are essential in helping achieve our goal of connecting young adult jobseekers with Los Angeles area employers who have jobs to offer.  Our Job seekers participate in a three step process that prepares them for the entry level employment.  We rely on Community Partners to reach out to the public they serve by offering their clients the opportunity to become job ready candidates.


STEP 1:  JOB SKILLS WORKSHOPS

  1. Conducted by a volunteer business professional, attendees role play interviewing techniques, share job search tips, learn how to dress appropriately for  job interviews, and complete a professional personal resume.


STEP 2:  WORK READINESS CERTIFICATE

  1. The Certification is a mock application process, scheduled by appointment.  Participants must arrive on time, present their resume, complete a written job application, pass a math skills test and a customer service assessment, and sit in a practice interview with a volunteer professional.

STEP 3:  HIRING EVENTS

  1. The Office of Mayor Antonio R. Villaraigosa, the Community Development Department and the L.A. Area Chamber of Commerce, have developed a network of private, public and non-profit employers who have pledged entry level employment opportunities to HIRE LA’s pre-screened job seekers.

Mayor Antonio R. Villaraigosa and the L.A. Area Chamber of Commerce have challenged local employers to HIRE LA’s Youth, ages 16 to 24.  As community partners, your young adult jobseekers can connect with these employment opportunities.  L.A. Youth at Work offers a three step process to train and prepare candidates to get and keep the jobs that employers want to fill.
