The Southeast Los Angeles WorkSource Center (WSC), managed by EWDD’s partner Watts Labor Community Action Committee (WLCAC), excitedly shared that 12 of their participants became HireLAX Construction Career Training Program graduates on October 20, 2023. The participants successfully completed the 8-week HireLAX training program that included learning about the construction field, receiving hands-on training, and exploring the various trades to become apprentices.
The WSC also provided students with a stipend to keep them motivated and assist with personal expenses. Participants who may have been involved with the criminal justice system or recently become victims of housing insecurity and homelessness were connected with case managers for further support.
The HireLAX Construction Career Training Program hopes to continue its success as it prepares to welcome the next training class, set to begin January 2024. Alphonso Reed, Business Services Representative at the Southeast LA WSC, is looking forward to the next class of students ready to change their lives and be part of the program. "This program and stipend is for a person to receive training, support, and an opportunity to succeed," Reed expressed.
