WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT

The Partnership has a long history of offering technical assistance and networking opportunities to help businesses grow and thrive in the San Gabriel Valley. Now, as we expand our services to meet the needs of the region, we are helping businesses collaborate with educational institutions to expand the pool of skilled and work-ready graduates and professionals in growing job sectors in the San Gabriel Valley.
 

Pathways Programs for the Future Workforce

Career Pathways serve as a two-way street. Companies in growing industries are able to expose students to real-life work experiences and work with educators to ensure that high schools and community colleges are teaching students the skills needed for employment. At the same time, students gain the skills needed to become the future workforce of these companies upon high school or college graduation.

In the San Gabriel Valley, we know that there is a need for skilled workers in health and bio-med, business and information technology, aerospace manufacturing, and hospitality and tourism. Many of our local high schools and community colleges have created pathways for students in these fields and are looking for companies in the industry with which to partner.
