LA Downtown News: CA RISE Gives $1.85M for Employee Training
Six employment social enterprises in the 28th Senate District of Los Angeles have been awarded $1.85 million in grant funding from CA RISE (California Regional Initiative for Social Enterprise).
A check presentation event was held at PVJOBS, where these employers were recognized for training and employing at-risk individuals with barriers to employment.
“It’s uplifting to know that these employment social enterprises are doing the real work of empowering our community members each and every day,” said Sen. Lola Smallwood-Cuevas (D-Los Angeles). “By providing job training and career opportunities to our most vulnerable residents, they’re transforming lives while also fostering a more resilient local economy.”
