Workforce Development Office
Welcome to the Workforce Development Office at Los Angeles Valley College. We provide high-quality, in-demand work-based learning opportunities that increase employment outcomes for students and our region. The Office is committed to establishing strategic partnerships with local employers and industries to strengthen the workforce within the San Fernando Valley.
Students can participate in various programs that combine academic and workforce training to prepare them for employment.
Employers can partner with LAVC to develop training opportunities for their workforce using program designs that meet their training needs. In addition, LAVC can assist with establishing a talent pipeline. Employers who want to develop training curriculum, please contact Dr. Brandon Hildreth (hildrebm@lavc.edu). Below is a resource about our training models.
