Beware of their Youth@Work program. They will make your youth work more than the hours they pay. This place cheats you in your hours calling it a system error when you bring up the issue and claim nothing can be done on their end. The staff is useless in helping anyway. I am shocked their youth center still operates and receives fundings through the City of LA as they clearly don’t provided any guidelines in helping the youth towards a career path and preparation for a job besides assigning them to a location. You have to stay on top of the process and push them to process the papers, then ask them what’s next to do otherwise they won’t even bother guiding you. You are pretty much on your own. After completing the program, they don’t even do a closure of giving a certificate or a simple thanks to these kids that put in their time. All they care about is signing people up to get the fundings from the county/city. Not your typical youth centers to offer help to guide youth in finding a job or prepare your youth for interviews, resume making and etc. Just a waste of tax payer’s money while staff does nothing all day besides pushing papers! DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME at this facility and go to a better youth center that you don’t get cheated for hours you put in and NOT get paid. They will make you do modules online that takes youth over 4hrs for a module but only pay you for 1 hour and call it “a system calculation” and it’s out of their hand 🙄 be realistic, why do you set up the youth on an hourly base pay if you don’t pay them the hours they put in? I won’t be surprised if the city grant administration has a conflict of interest with this facility as someone should look into this.

Absolutely useless. They put my boyfriend through two months of BS classes, then were supremely unhelpful and evasive afterward. To be fair, I suppose COVID-19 had some effect. But they didn't have to be evasive about the fact that there seems to be a dearth of jobs here in the East San Fernando Valley. And towards the end, they were downright rude to him. Don't deal with this WorkSource Center. There are many more here in the City of Los Angeles.

Don’t waste your time. They make you jump through hoops. You have to go to a orientation then they a resume work shop and last they have you apply for what seems to be their only employer. The person they assigned to me never did a thing for me. He took forever to reply to emails. Again, don’t waste your time. I think his name is Salvador...throughout business card.

I want to say that I really enjoy this experience I am 14 years old and I have a job and like that's crazy. I love were I work and love working with people. Working with people is all I love to do. So I encourage you guys to join in. True me you will have so much fun in the program and the people there are very helpful. Thank you for reading me story.

Its open to go and get a physical unemployment form, and once it's filled out by you they can take it from you and fax it to theyre main office in Sacramento. They really cant do much more there other than tell you to go online or call EDD
They can be of assistance, but that depends highly on your background, up to date certifications, and personal passion in the search as well. Don't expect to just walk in and see someone and then have them spoon feed you a perfect new job. The road is long and sometimes requires your enrollment in a supplemental class, which, depending on your educational background, may require you have a GED or high school degree just to qualify in taking certain classes at North Valley Occupational Center. This goes the same for West Valley Occupational Center, on the opposite side of the SFV in Woodland Hills. Often times the process with the WorkSource is basic resume and networking 101 stuff. You have to commit to their seminar schedule and really be persistent with the counselors and staff. From October to last month their entire phone system was down so reaching someone beyond the front desk was trying. Remember, our taxes pay for this service, so do get the most out of it as possible!
Depends on which program, but you can Google their contact and give them a call..
They might, depending on area you live and the branch you get assigned to. If not, they can direct you to an occupational center where they have good classes, for free or for very much affordable fee.
