English Class
Formal English classes are offered throughout the year in person at the Labor Center or online via zoom. Drop in English classes are offered when the Labor Center is open so members waiting jobs can take advantage of classes.
Requirements:
Skill Training
Skills trainings are offered year round, most offerings are in the winter when job placements are slow. Offerings are based on community surveys, employer feedback from job placements, and demand for skills.
Skills trainings seek to upskill and reskill registered members to promote economic mobility. Higher skilled jobs offer more compensation and more job stability compared to seasonal labor or landscaping jobs.
We partner with local businesses, organizations, and volunteers to provide skills training courses. To benefit the majority of our members these courses are offered in Spanish and English, or interpretation is provided.
Requirements:
Wage Theft Assistance
We provide assistance and financial literacy to promote economic stability. Wage theft is common within the day-laboring or temporary job placement community, when wages are not paid as promised. Many members are connected with us through Wage Theft claims.
