Participating students are enrolled at Los Angeles Trade Tech College and the training is located at Los Angeles Southwest College, which is near LAX. Many of the students are residents of communities surrounding Los Angeles International Airport, including Hawthorne, Lennox and Inglewood, and reflect the diversity of the area. Of the total graduates to-date,\u00a064 percent are\u00a0African American and 20 percent are Hispanic.<\/p>\n<p>Many students come from troubled pasts, and for them the HireLAX program represents a second chance at a rewarding, productive life. Over the course of the two cohorts, nearly 25 percent\u00a0of the students have been female and about 46 percent of students had previous or current involvement with the criminal justice system. HireLAX includes life skills training and comprehensive mentoring support provided by Flintridge Center, 2nd Call as well as LA County and City of Los Angeles programs. By successfully completing HireLAX, students have taken a major step in their professional lives &#8211;\u00a0and many graduates have already\u00a0secured union jobs with major construction contracting firms. The HireLAX program comes as work continues on a multi-year, multi-billion dollar modernization project at the airport to improve the passenger experience, relieve traffic congestion and increase access to public transportation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PARKING<br \/>\n<\/strong>Media can park\u00a0in the Flight\u00a0Path Learning Center &amp; Museum lot.\u00a0Satellite trucks can pull along the curb outside of the building.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CONTACT<\/strong><br \/>\nLAX Public Relations Division,\u00a0<a href=\"tel:(424)%20646-5260\">(424) 646-5260<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:laxpr@lawa.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">laxpr@lawa.org<\/a><br \/>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.47&#8243; background_color=&#8221;#f7f7f4&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px|&#8221;][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.47&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px|&#8221;][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; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#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; _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_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.47&#8243;][et_pb_row use_custom_width=&#8221;on&#8221; custom_width_px=&#8221;780px&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|0px|73.90625px|0px&#8221; column_padding_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221; parallax_method_1=&#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;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;3.0.47&#8243; text_font=&#8221;PT Serif||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#363636&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;36&#8243; text_font_size_tablet=&#8221;26&#8243; text_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.4em&#8221; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||70px|&#8221;] Want new articles before they get published?
