Do You Know Someone Who's Been Laid Off From One of These Companies?

LA Fellows don't pay a dime for the training they receive through our program, thanks to grants and special funding through our WorkSource partners. The top notch instructors, the materials, the coaching and strategic matches with the nonprofit organizations, the cohort experience - all of that is taken care of financially so that the Fellows can put in their best effort and concentrate on the job search.

We have been asked to get the word out about a important grant, called New Directions, that has been set aside to assist workers from a select group of companies. Workers who have been laid off from the following companies, on or after the date listed, may be eligible for free training through LA Fellows.

If you or anyone you know worked for any company on this list and may be able to take advantage of this opportunity, please call us at the Job Training office at Los Angeles Valley College, (818) 947-2941 and ask to speak to Mary or Allison about New Directions for LA Fellows. We also encourage you to check our website, www.lafellows.org/apply, and come to an orientation either December 5th or December 10th. Details are on the website, and classes begin on January 5, 2015.
