The partners have launched a free training program that offers South Bay residents a gateway to a career in the building industry and a little piece of history. The Apprenticeship Readiness Program is open to residents of Inglewood, Hawthorne and Lennox who are at least 17 1/2 years old and have a strong interest in the construction industry. A California identification card and a Social Security card are required to join the program. The eight-week training program, provided through HireLAX, offers job-seekers an introduction to construction careers, union rules, safety, basic on-the-job math skills, and first aid training. The classes at Los Angeles Southwest College will offer handson training with construction materials and tools, and assistance with creating a resume and preparing for job interviews to land a construction job. The classes begin September 11 at the college, 1600 W. Imperial Avenue in Los Angeles. The instruction will take place from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. Mondays through Fridays. Participants must attend a mandatory orientation meeting at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday, August 19. Register online at https://hirelaxorientation2017 08-19.eventbrite.com. Eligibility is limited to residents of the South communities of Inglewood, Hawthorne, Lennox, Gardena, Westchester and Harbor City. “The HireLAX Apprenticeship Readiness program is a first of its kind collaboration, providing the local community with specialized training, and connecting participants with the contractors who will hire them to be part of the construction teams modernizing LAX,” said Samson Mengistu, Chief Operating Officer for Los Angeles World Airports. The project’s partners include Los Angeles Trade Technical College and Los Angeles/ Orange Counties Building and Construction Trades Council. Participants in the program will receive “everything they need” to begin a union construction job, according to the organizers. Jobs will be waiting for those participants who complete the courses in November. Los Angeles County is facing a severe labor shortage in construction, and the upgrades at LAX are expected to strain local construction manpower even further. “With the HireLAX program, we provide a new way for the local community to take a key role in the re-imagining of LAX, by linking workers to immediate and long-term skilled jobs, and making available the training they need to be successful,” the airport’s COO said. The ongoing LAX modernization project encompasses terminals, runways and parking facilities and includes a proposed people mover that will connect off-site parking near the 405 freeway with the nation’s secondbusiest airport. Projected to last through 2023, the program is considered the largest public works project in the history of Los Angeles. It began in 2009 with the expectation it would create 121,000 construction jobs annually over the project’s 14-year span, according to the Los Angeles World Airports website. The Southern California construction business is booming with major improvements at Los Angeles International Airport expected to take years to complete and the Los Angeles Rams football stadium project in Inglewood breaking ground after a rain delay. Now, Community Briefs See Construction Training, page 4 Torrance Memorial Earns Honors as a Top Nurse Employer in California Nurse.org, the web’s leading career site for nurses, has recognized Torrance Memorial Medical Center as one of the best hospitals for nurses to work for in California.

Along with other top professionals in his industry, his job was to protect and maintain the original presidential jet on display at the museum. The photo above shows Sanchez polishing the Air Force One as part of the finishing team. The group also worked on a number of historic aircraft. They cleaned the Concorde Alpha Golf, polished the aluminum on the World War II B-52 Stratofortress and detailed the first “jumbo jet” Beoing 747 including polishing its engine rings for the first time. Sanchez also had the opportunity to work on the B-29 Bomber that was used during World War II. – Source: Kike Sanchez, Photo by Ryan Doyle •
