Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) is honored to be the recipient of two notable awards in recognition of their outstanding contributions to the Los Angeles community. WTS-LA, the Los Angeles chapter of Women\u2019s Transportation Seminar, presented LAWA officials with the Rosa Parks Diversity Leadership Award and the Innovative Transportation Solution Award during its Annual Scholarship and Awards Dinner that was held at the Millennium Biltmore Hotel in Downtown Los Angeles on November 9, 2017. The event was host to more than 400 attendees. Approximately $71,000 in scholarships were also awarded to the upcoming generation of transportation professionals during the exciting event.<\/p>\n
Rosa Parks Diversity Leadership Award<\/h4>\n
The group\u2019s Rosa Parks Diversity Leadership Award was presented to LAWA in honor of its dedication to fostering diversity and bridging the gap between a rich tapestry of people, places, and cultures. Through a wide range of initiatives, LAWA promotes diversity in its educational, hiring and employment practices. Through LAWA\u2019s Gender Equity Program, gender equality is ensured across a multitude of roles and job classifications. The program concentrates an intense focus on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) positions- areas in which women and minorities have historically been inadequately represented. LAWA has also encouraged diversity through the Gateways Internship program, which offers paid internships to students in the area, and the Hire LA\u2019s Youth Program, which enables high school students to discover the exciting opportunities available in aviation.<\/p>\n
Additionally, LAWA recently celebrated the graduation of the first class of students in the HireLAX Apprenticeship Readiness Program. The innovative program featured a very diverse population. Approximately 19 percent of participants were women and about 60 were African American. As members of the graduating class pursue their careers in construction, they will play an important role in the future of LAX.<\/p>\n
The Innovative Transportation Solution Award<\/h4>\n
Presented to LAWA due to its extensive, LAX Northside Project, the Innovative Transportation Solution Award honors LAWA for its dedication to the well-being, convenience, and enjoyment of the Los Angeles community. The project is funded by LAWA\u2019s massive, $14 billion capital improvement program that will soon transform the future of LAX. Through the LAX Northside Project, approximately 340 acres of land that is located to the north of LAX will become a modern, mixed-use development that features a three-mile, landscaped pedestrian pass, an abundance of open spaces, and construction that complies with CalGreen Tier One regulations. The project will reinforce the community\u2019s commitment to revitalization, support local businesses, bring much-needed amenities to the area, and provide more jobs to current residents and newcomers alike.<\/p>\n
