EWD Pulse Newsletter – The Rise of Workforce Intermediaries
It’s not enough to offer training classes for specific jobs and employment opportunities. In many cases, companies struggle to find the people capable of doing their work, even when there’s training available. Consequently, too many Los Angeles residents can’t find work because they can’t find the training or the connections they need to secure the position.

In today’s Pulse article, we’re exploring how the “LABRPU” is addressing equity, education, and occupational challenges.

On the EWD Pulse website, you’ll find resources addressing how the area has coped with today’s – and yesterday’s economic calamities.
