• Step 1: Season the pork as desired. Sprinkle with the Creole seasoning. Add the pork to the Instant Pot®. Stir the soup,
beer, flour, mustard, brown sugar, mushrooms and onion in a medium bowl. Pour over the pork.
• Step 2: Lock the lid and close the pressure release valve. Select the Pressure Cook or Manual setting according to which
model of Instant Pot® you’re using. (If using Manual setting, select High pressure.) Set the timer for 25 minutes (timer will
begin counting down once pressure is reached). When done, press Cancel and use the quick release method to release the
pressure. While the pork is cooking, cook the rice according to the package directions.
• Step 3: Season the pork and sauce to taste. Serve the pork and sauce over the rice and sprinkle with fresh chopped
parsley, if desired.
• Recipe Note: Multi-cooker settings and features vary widely across different models and brands. Refer to the manual for
your cooker to learn which functions will produce the cooking methods (pressure cook) needed for this recipe.
• For Thicker Sauce: Remove the cooked pork from the pot, cover and keep warm. Select the Saute setting on the pot and
cook, uncovered, for 5 minutes or until the sauce is slightly reduced.

Careers in Aerospace from page 2
that managers need to be successful, says
the team at the competitive workforce center.
The new venture is a partnership of 19 Los
Angeles and Orange County community
colleges and headed by the Los Angeles
Economic Development Corporation.
Other members include the L.A. Chamber
of Commerce, Southern California Leadership
Council, and the Center of Excellence for
Labor Market Research at Mt. San Antonio
College. The work admittedly is a balancing
act. With this first report, they’ve identified
what the greater L.A. labor pool is lacking in
training, talents and experience. And, they’ve
given administrators at community colleges
a roadmap to support local business.
There were 776,000 students registered at
Los Angeles-area community colleges for
the 2014-15 academic year, according to the
center. Two-thirds of those students enrolled
in career education programs, which prepare
them for health care, automotive, business
and financial service careers. Students can
choose from more than 200 career education
programs offered by 19 community colleges in
Los Angeles County and nine Orange County
campuses. ”Since community colleges play a
leading and vital role in training students to
enter these target occupations, it is incumbent
that more attention be given toward meeting
forecasted employer demand,” the future-ofwork
report said.
Closing the supply gap by aligning the
talents of community college graduates with
talent gaps in Southern California industries
is critical to the growth and prosperity
of L.A. County’s diverse economy, the
LAEDC authors stressed. There are 52
community colleges in greater Los Angeles,
including our local campuses: El Camino
College in Torrance, Santa Monica, Harbor
in Wilmington, and West Los Angeles in
Culver City.
Middle-skill jobs can pay close to $100,000
per year and they require only an associate’s
degree from a community college. LAEDC’s
workforce alignment team is bullish on six
local industries for people with some college
or a two-year degree: aerospace, biomedical
manufacturing, entertainment, health care
services, ports and related transportation
support activities; and professional and
technical services.
Employers in these six core industries
will be looking to hire 55,000 people with
middle skills between now and 2021, the
LAEDC forecast said. “The demand for
workers with technical skills, as well as indepth
knowledge of mathematics and science
will continue to remain a high priority for
aerospace establishments. Simultaneously,
many workers in the industry across all
occupations are nearing retirement age,
including those in middle-skill occupations
such as aircraft mechanics and service
technicians, representing critical training
opportunity for local community colleges,”
it predicted.
The other core industries counting on
the community college system for the next
generation of technicians, installers, mechanics
and other professions crucial to the area are
biomedical, entertainment, health care, the Port
of Los Angeles, and professional and technical
services. The report can be downloaded at
