The LA Regional Job Placement and Employment Success initiative—recognized as a Cornerstone Project for the Los Angeles Region—champions a bold, student-centered vision for workforce success. It builds a lasting regional infrastructure that empowers every community college to deliver high-impact employment services, strengthen employer partnerships, and track job placements in real time.
Guided by the mission of the Strong Workforce Program, this initiative connects students to meaningful, in-demand careers through coordinated systems that expand opportunity and equity across the region. By integrating data-driven tools, employer collaboration, and wraparound student support, it ensures learners are equipped with the confidence, connections, and resources to thrive in today’s workforce.
Through united efforts among colleges, intermediaries, and industry leaders, the project transforms how education and employment intersect—creating a seamless, inclusive pathway from the classroom to career success for every student in the Los Angeles region.
