Program accomplishments

• For more than 25 years, UNITE-LA has led business education partnership programs to help develop a prepared, diverse, local talent pipeline. Working in collaboration with business partners, UNITE-LA leads and supports programs focused on exposing students to high-growth, high-demand STEAM career pathways. In 2024, UNITE-LA made significant strides in advancing equitable career and education pathways, serving 8,884 participants and delivering a total of 13,671 touchpoints across its flagship L.A. Cash for College and STEAM programs. From equipping students with essential financial aid resources to empowering opportunity youth and systems-impacted individuals to enter high-growth/demand fields, UNITE-LA continues to make a measurable impact on Los Angeles' rising workforce through its programs. We primarily serve vulnerable populations of low-income youth ages 16-24 through year-round programming. "Workforce Programs" includes L.A. Cash for College, WorkforceReady, Job Skills Workshops and Work-Readiness, Work Readiness Certifications, My Pathway to Health, Step into Tech, L.A. Regional Cleantech Career Academy, Tech Pathways Academy, South LA Scholars Plus (Health Care Career Pathway), and Partner Open Houses: L.A. Cash for College - L.A. Cash for College (LA-CFC) provides direct support, information and resources for financial aid to students and families across Los Angeles. This is done in collaboration with a wide network of nonprofits, college access providers, high school counselors and local higher education admissions staff. Programming is year-long, with financial aid workshops and events beginning in the fall and concluding in the spring. L.A. Cash for College also includes our scholarship awards program, Dollars for Scholars, which continued last year awarding L.A. Cash for College participants $30,000 in scholarships through the Dr. Alma Salazar and Gary Toebben Scholarship Funds. WorkforceReady - UNITE-LA utilizes an innovative, virtual program consisting of a six-week curriculum designed to help youth develop the essential, non-technical soft skills that will promote their success in the workplace. Job Skills Workshops and Work-Readiness - Our job skills and work readiness development programming include employer-validated Job Skills Workshops and self-paced Workforce Ready programs to prepare students for the real world of work and includes topics such as creating industry sector-specific resumes and cover letters, job interview preparation and success, effective professional/workplace communication, and etiquette, and how to articulate/market their interests, strengths, skills, abilities and experience. Work Readiness Certifications - Certifications follow participants' job skills and work-readiness preparation and include an employer-recognized WRC assessment to ensure students are prepared for early work experience through mock interviews with industry professionals. Employers validate student competencies demonstrated through their resume, interviewing/communication skills, and professional etiquette. Through this process, UNITE-LA cultivates students who are competitive job candidates and are deemed "work ready" for entry-level internships and jobs. My Pathway to Health - creates paid opportunities for young adults to succeed in allied health careers. Through career exploration, job readiness and training in a specified health pathway, future health care professionals develop real-world skills they need to succeed in high-demand, high-growth allied health care careers.

Tech Pathways Academy - Through an 8.5 week after-school, virtual, work-based learning program focused on AI, Cybersecurity, Product Management and Software Development, high school students engage with tech professionals from diverse tech sectors to develop essential and technical skills and to learn about emerging career pathways in technology. This program is powered by Microsoft. South LA Scholars Plus (Health Care Career Pathway) - South LA Scholars Plus (SLAS+) supports underrepresented individuals (ages 16+) in pursuing careers in health fields such as allied health care, mental health, biotech and professional pathways in health care. The programming includes work-based learning opportunities focused on career panels, presentations by health care professionals, career fairs, work site visits and paid work experience. Partner Open Houses - Through our Partner Open House programs, we engage and convene more than 50 local community-based organizations quarterly to facilitate opportunities for collaboration, including sharing resources, supportive services and recruiting talent from disinvested communities to enroll in our mutual programs.
