LA Works DEMONSTRATES THEIR CONTINUOUS
DEDICATION TO IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF WORKFORCE SERVICES OFFERED
Irwindale, CA – LA Works, a WorkSource
Center providing assistance to job seekers and businesses throughout the
Northeastern San Gabriel Valley, received recognition by the County of
Los Angeles and has being officially recertified as a WorkSource Center
by the governing body of Los Angeles County's WorkSource Centers, the
Los Angeles County Workforce Investment Board (LACWIB).
In order to receive funding from the LACWIB, all WorkSource Centers are
put through a rigorous recertification process. The LACWIB Certification
Committee assesses the WorkSource Center to verify evidence that processes
and services are in place to meet performance standards. The Center is
evaluated on its operational process and procedures, continuous quality
improvement plan, and establishment of partnerships with local trade associations
and business partners. Success in the process assures the public that
a certified site attained a high standard of quality and consistently
maintains that standard over time. The recertification process takes place
every two years.
The basis in which the LACWIB Certification Committee makes a decision
regarding the recertification of LA Works was based on multiple factors
such as on-site observations, panel discussion with LA Works’ key
partners and businesses, group interviews with LA Works’ Continuous
Quality Improvement Team, along with supporting documentation provided
by the Center.
