West Hollywood and Marina Del Rey WorkSource Centers |
Jobseekers find all of the resources they needed to choose
appropriate career paths and land employment. Unique to JVS' West
Hollywood WorkSource Center is its special focus on youth and young
adults including youth on public assistance and pregnant and
parenting teens. The Center also contains the area's greatest
concentration of assistive technology for jobseekers with vision or
hearing impairments. Another key component are its business
services, which offer recruitment, screening and skills assessment
for local area businesses.
The JVS West Hollywood WorkSource
Center and JVS/CPC Marina Del Rey Center are part of the network of
WorkSource centers throughout the County of Los Angeles. It
maintains contracts with the City of West Hollywood for adults, as
well as County WIA projects with adults, dislocated workers, youth,
special needs and welfare to work populations. The WorkSource
Centers collaborate with the State Department of Rehabilitation and
the Employment Development Department offices, with counselors on
hand at the WorkSource Centers to provide a full complement of
services to job seekers. |

“Thank you for the excellent
services I received from JVS’ West Hollywood WorkSource
Center earlier this year. These services helped me land an editing
position at an excellent company only two months after registering.
I’m glad that in these tough times—a down job market
and tight funding—services like JVS can still make a difference.”
