Aero-Flex:
This apprenticeship program is aimed at engineering and manufacturing across California. Aero-Flex is a highly successful career pathway program that uses pre-apprenticeship and registered apprenticeship to develop workforce pipelines for the aerospace industry.
The employer-centric earn and lean model was designed to provide the ability for the employer to ‘Flex’ the curriculum to customize training for each participant.
Since the program’s inception, many career pathways have been developed for technicians and engineers, including the first Aerospace Engineering apprenticeship in the nation requiring a degree to be registered with the DOL.
Countywide Youth Bridges Program (CYBP):
Works with at-risk and disconnected youth. Our focus is on creating a career path that leads to full-time employment with the County of Los Angeles. We offer supportive services and personal enrichment training to help secure and ensure your success as a LA County employee.
CYBP uses a three-step program for your success. Completion of our 120 hours in our Youth@Work program; followed by a one-year paid internship in a LA County position, through our Youth Worker Training Program; and finally, the opportunity to compete for a full-time position with LA County.
These steps not only prepare you for a major career opportunity but it gives you access to a brighter future and a more productive life.
