27 Southeast L.A. Cities Unite to Simplify Access to Career Training

Developed by a coalition of southeast Los Angeles colleges, adult schools, training centers, apprenticeship programs, and community partners, the platform connects residents with local training, industry-recognized credentials, personalized support, and job opportunities close to home.

The Hub offers one-on-one guidance and brings together more than 30 workforce training providers, community colleges, adult schools, labor unions, and community organizations to create a clearer path from training to employment.

Local talent can discover free and low-cost programs in four of California's fastest-growing sectors: green jobs, healthcare, logistics, and technology, with later integration of resources for local government jobs.

Gateway Cities Council of Governments (Gateway Cities COG) and a coalition of agencies, community colleges, adult schools, training centers, apprenticeship programs, community organizations, and education partners today announced the launch of a new website: Gateway Cities Hub (“The Hub”), serving 27 southeast Los Angeles County cities. The platform was developed through a Catalyst Grant awarded to the Gateway Cities COG from California Jobs First Initiative sponsored by the California Community Foundation in coordination with the Gateway Cities COG.
