About

PLACE (Preparing Los Angeles for County Employment), which prepares people with barriers to employment for, and places them in, County jobs resulting in permanent employment and a career pathway. Target populations for PLACE include, among others, individuals receiving County services, people living in economically disadvantaged areas, justice-involved individuals, transitional aged youth, homeless and housing insecure individuals, and underrepresented populations. Participants undergo a screening and selection process, 8-week classroom training, and are paired with a Case Manager who supports them for at least 9 months. From the programs inception in Fall 2018, 126 participants graduated from the PLACE program and 87 of them received conditional offers of employment with County.
