“Before coming to LA trade Tech College, I was incarcerated. I knew right before coming home, I wanted to work in the construction industry. The Local Hire programs, like this one, are a great resource for individuals like me who deserve a second chance. My family is very supportive and grateful that I’m finally home and making a difference in my community. I am proud to say that I am a union member of Laborers Local 300 and making good livable wages.”
