ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY:

WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT

ENGAGE 
We unite business leaders, educators, training providers, and community partners from every corner of LA County. Through regular collaboration, listening sessions, and data-informed strategies, we identify what employers truly need. Then, we align training and education programs to ensure Angelenos are prepared for the good-paying jobs of today and the careers of the future. 
 
EMPOWER 
We turn complex job market data into clear, actionable insights for students, industry partners, workers, and educators. Through tools like Gladeo LA and regular convenings with industry partners, we help translate trends into practical guidance. This makes it easier for people in underserved neighborhoods to understand their options, gain confidence, and develop the skills needed to succeed in today’s and tomorrow’s workforce.
 
ELEVATE 
With deep relationships built and insights in hand, we act. We implement what we’ve learned by scaling programs, launching employer-informed initiatives, and expanding access to work-based learning and career pathways. Elevate is about impact — helping more Angelenos secure good-paying, future-ready jobs and creating lasting economic mobility for families and communities.
