WERC has launched a career preparation partnership with the County of LA. Preparing Los Angeles for County Employment (PLACE) readies county residents for good entry level jobs. PLACE provides opportunities for individuals who want to serve the public.  WERC creates a dynamic learning environment for participants that includes workplace prep workshops, skills and technical education, classroom and on-the-job training, and support in applying for County employment.  We assign each participant a WERC Case Manager to provide robust supportive services identifying challenges and solutions, and support participants’ success. Case Managers will continue to work with participants for at least 6 months into their new position.
