About LARC
Champions of students, up-skillers, re-skillers, and employers.
We are a consortium of 19 community colleges, and our work extends beyond the borders of our campuses. We’re advocates of regional change, focused on opening doors for adult, disenfranchised, and incumbent workers; facilitating upskilling for the region’s existing labor force; expanding employment opportunities for students, and offering more highly trained candidates for employers.

Residents in the LA Region struggle to find work and companies struggle to find qualified, middle-skilled employees. Within this struggle, lies our objective — to bridge the gap between workforce preparedness and employer’s needs.
