Work-Based Learning
Apprenticeships, paid internships and other work-based learning opportunities turn career preparation into real-world experience. Participants can earn while they learn, apply their skills on the job and build the confidence and connections that often open doors to good careers. Employers also help shape programs around the skills they need, creating stronger pathways into high-demand fields.
A Thriving Workforce Ecosystem
High-quality career pathways cannot grow through isolated programs alone. They require schools, colleges, employers, public agencies and community organizations to work together. We invest in the intermediaries and partnerships that coordinate these efforts, strengthen program quality and help effective models reach more Angelenos – especially in fields with strong opportunities for economic advancement, including technology, aerospace and healthcare.
