Entering into the free, 8-week program are 8 women, 13 individuals who have been involved with the criminal justice system, and people who have recently become victims of housing insecurity and homelessness. As these individuals embark on this exciting program, they will be offered new experiences, training and support, and the opportunity to succeed in reaching their dreams. &nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; background_color=&#8221;#f7f7f4&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px|&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.47&#8243;][et_pb_row make_fullwidth=&#8221;on&#8221; custom_width_px=&#8221;680px&#8221; use_custom_gutter=&#8221;on&#8221; gutter_width=&#8221;1&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||2px|&#8221; make_equal=&#8221;on&#8221; column_padding_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221; background_color_2=&#8221;#efefe9&#8243; parallax_method_1=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax_method_2=&#8221;off&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.47&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.47&#8243; column_padding_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221; parallax=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax_method=&#8221;off&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.careersingovernment.com\/tools\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/lax.jpg&#8221; animation=&#8221;off&#8221; sticky=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.62&#8243;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.47&#8243; column_padding_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#efefe9&#8243; parallax=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax_method=&#8221;off&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.careersingovernment.com\/tools\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/la-tr-lax-terminal-moves-20170502.jpg&#8221; animation=&#8221;off&#8221; sticky=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.62&#8243;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; disabled_on=&#8221;off|off|&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.62&#8243; text_font=&#8221;PT Serif||||&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;24&#8243; text_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#818178&#8243; text_line_height=&#8221;1.4em&#8221; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;20%|10%||10%&#8221; custom_margin_tablet=&#8221;|10%||10%&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, HireLAX is \u201charnessing the talent and\u00a0<\/span>hardworking spirit of Angelenos today \u2014 so they\u2019ll be well-prepared to build for tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px|&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.47&#8243;][et_pb_row use_custom_width=&#8221;on&#8221; custom_width_px=&#8221;1200px&#8221; use_custom_gutter=&#8221;on&#8221; gutter_width=&#8221;4&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px|&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;0px|||&#8221; column_padding_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221; parallax_method_1=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax_method_2=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax_method_3=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax_method_4=&#8221;off&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;row&#8221; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.47&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.47&#8243; column_padding_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221; parallax=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax_method=&#8221;off&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.62&#8243; text_font=&#8221;PT Serif||||&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;20&#8243; text_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#363636&#8243; text_line_height=&#8221;1.4em&#8221; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;60px||0px|&#8221; custom_margin_tablet=&#8221;40px||0px|&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally the program&rsquo;s participants will receive well-rounded case management to assist them in developing the skills they need to overcome roadblocks that often prevent gainful employment including things like the lack of high school diplomas or <g class=\"gr_ gr_13 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace\" id=\"13\" data-gr-id=\"13\">GEDs<\/g>, transportation issues, unaffordable or inaccessible childcare, homelessness, criminal records, and the lack of access to necessary trade tools and safety equipment.
