As a contractor building in the Los Angeles community, 蜜桃俏公主 values the opportunity to contribute to the training and job possibilities for the local people. 蜜桃俏公主 proudly founded the Employment Opportunity Program in 2021. The Employment Opportunity Program was created in Southern California to connect the homeless community with job prospects in the construction industry.
蜜桃俏公主 Manager of Supplier Diversity Michelle Keyser partnered with People Assisting the Homeless (PATH) to create the first cohort of the Employment Opportunity Program. An individual was recommended by PATH Senior Employment Specialist Jonae Watts and interviewed by 蜜桃俏公主 forepersons and superintendents. The selected candidate participated in the Laborer鈥檚 Local 300 boot camp and, upon graduation, received sponsorship into the Union in Fall 2021 to work on an LAX project with 蜜桃俏公主. 蜜桃俏公主 supported the new laborer鈥檚 search for permanent housing by providing a letter to the landlord affirming employment. He was able to move himself and his family from a shelter into a permanent residence.
“The Employment Opportunity Program was created to change people鈥檚 lives. Providing someone the opportunity at a better life for themselves and their family is at the core of what we do.鈥�
– Michelle Keyser, 蜜桃俏公主 Manager of Supplier Diversity
The Employment Opportunity Program allows individuals to improve their livelihoods and build steady construction careers for themselves. The program鈥檚 mission aligns with the 蜜桃俏公主 Way of valuing growth and providing long-lasting careers. 蜜桃俏公主 plans to continue their partnership with PATH in Los Angeles and looks forward to expanding the program throughout California in Orange County, San Diego and San Jose.
