When Corpsmembers have obtained basic work experience, life skills programming, and vocational training, the Transition team works to adequately prepare them full-time employment and/or post-secondary education.
At the LA Conservation Corps, we know that preparation is the key to success. This is why we have a dedicated team of staff to support corpsmembers in a variety of services related to post-secondary education. We support our corpsmembers in the following ways:
During the first month of program enrollment, Corpsmembers receive basic safety and tool training, as well as receive OSHA 10 and CPR/First Aid certification. Throughout a Corpsmember’s experience, they can take advantage of a multitude of vocational training offerings and job-related activities:
Corpsmembers receive intensive workforce development training and develops a professional portfolio which includes a resume, application, and two competency tests in math and customer service. Each participant also undergoes a mock interview with a working professional. Upon completion, corpsmembers qualify for employment opportunities and receive a certificate of completion authorized by the LA Chamber of Commerce.
