Youth Jobs!
The Department of Economic Opportunity will soon launch the Elevate Program which will provide 500 of LA County’s foster youth, individuals experiencing homelessness, LGBTQ+, and justice-impacted youth, ages 17-24, with pathways to unsubsidized jobs in high-growth and emerging sectors.
Participants will receive up to 400 hours of personal enrichment training, paid mentoring, and work experience with high-growth and emerging sector employers, including hospitality, trade and logistics, advanced manufacturing, IT, and health care, while earning $16.04 an hour.
