Compton College Offers ‘Careers for a Cause’ Earn to Learn Program
July 18, 2022
Participants Receive Paid Training to Compete for Jobs in Social Services
Compton College recently held a graduation ceremony for its first cohort of individuals who participated in Careers for a Cause, an eight-week pre-employment training program that prepares Los Angeles County residents to compete for one of many jobs available in the social services and homeless services sector.
Careers for a Cause June 2022 graduates at Compton College received paid training to prepare for careers in social services. The program prepares students for a career in social services, matching these individuals with homeless service providers for employment at the end of the program.
Careers for a Cause was developed by the Los Angeles County Supervisor's Office (District 2), in partnership with Los Angeles County's Workforce Development, Aging and Community Services Department (WDACS), Los Angeles Southwest College, St. Joseph's Center, and the South Los Angeles Transit Empowerment Zone (SLATE-Z) to expand the County's homeless services industry. The eight-week program offers career exploration and assessment, job shadowing, skills training, on-the-job coaching, and job retention support.
Among other resources, participants receive training from the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health, Los Angeles County Human Resources, the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority, Fathers and Mothers Who Care, Inc., and the Rancho Dominguez-America's Job Center of California. In addition, students receive wrap-around support services and a stipend. With the passage of Measure H, social services agencies in Los Angeles County have funding to hire more social workers but are struggling to fill the many vacant positions.
Compton College's Careers for a Cause training is administered through its Business and Industrial Studies Guided Pathway Division in conjunction with its agency partners and is funded by the American Recovery Act via Los Angeles County. "Compton College had 20 students participate in our first cohort of the Careers for a Cause training during the spring 2022 semester," said Lynell, Wiggins Compton College director of workforce development and adult education. "Compton College uses non-credit ESL courses to embed social services-based content into the curriculum, and works with St. Joseph's Center to coordinate the interview and selection process. A host of agency partners provide the specialized training for skills needed in this field, such as trauma informed care, dealing with those with mental health issues, occupational therapy, technology training, and soft skills."
Of the 20 students who graduated from Careers for a Cause at Compton College in June 2022, 19 completed the training and approximately 70% have been placed in internships/jobs to date. Anyone interested in doing social work is welcome to apply. Compton College's first cohort included a student enrolled in the college's Formerly Incarcerated Students in Transition (F.I.S.T.) program and a recent UCLA graduate who earned a bachelor's degree in sociology and wanted to secure work in social services due to lack of field experience.
Compton College has filled its cohort for the next Careers for a Cause training beginning in late August 2022. Interested individuals should keep an eye out on the Compton College website later this year for the spring 2023 Careers for a Cause training application period.
