Targeted Local Hire
The City of Los Angeles seeks to connect all Angelenos to employment opportunities, particularly those that may face significant barriers to employment. The Targeted Local Hire Program is an effort to help an underserved population find an alterative pathway to rewarding Civil Service careers with the city of Los Angeles. Individuals hired through the program will receive on-the-job training and must successfully complete an assessment period before transitioning to regular Civil Service employment.
Orientation/ Application sessions are held every Tuesday at 11 AM by The Targeted Local Hire Program Coordinator Melissa Young. Once scheduled you will need to come with your right to work documents (i.e. ID / Driver’s License & Social Security Card) and resume. For more information or for any questions you may have please call.
