These funds support job training programs and business services delivered by the Career Transition Center, Youth Opportunity Center, Harbor WorkSource Center, and selected community-based organizations, to assist local residents in acquiring skills leading to employment in high-demand occupations with local employers.
On November 15, 2011, the City Council approved the acceptance of up to $2,816,309 in grant funding from the United States Department of Labor (USDOL) to administer a Health Sector training project. The four-year project provides training and educational support for hundreds of individuals in the healthcare industry at various campuses in Long Beach and Orange County. Project activities focus on employment and training activities in advancement toward a variety of occupations.
