Who we are
Since the inception in 2005, HIRE LA’s Youth Campaign has placed more than 28,000 local youth in crucial, first-time paid positions through the City’s OneSource Youth Opportunity System and its many program partners.
HIRE LA’s Youth has a formula - training, certification and access equals success.
Through HIRE LA’s Youth, participants attend Job Skills Workshops to learn interviewing techniques that build a strong foundation of critical skills to carry out responsibilities and learn on the job.
The Work Readiness Certification streamlines the hiring process by identifying a work-ready pool of job applicants. Once candidates are certified, they are connected to a pool of private employers, where they gain access to job leads and hiring events and prove they are work-ready.
This year, because of new federal stimulus dollars, HIRE LA’s Youth will serve even more youth than ever before.
