SANTA MONICA COLLEGE
http://smc.edu 

The Office of Workforce & Economic Development is focused on developing courses designed to support the skill development initiatives of the private industry. We are committed to working with local businesses in designing programs to meet the specific needs of their employees. Through partnerships, many workers can develop the skills necessary to increase productivity, retain employment and/or help prevent the possibility of being laid-off.

The Office of Workforce & Economic Development is continuously seeking to develop partnerships with businesses, non-profit organizations and community service agencies. Many programs we administer have been the product of successful collaborations. To date, we have partnered with entities such as the LA City Worksource Center (Hollywood, Palms-Mar Vista, Career Partners, and Wilshire-Metro), local tourist accommodations (Marriott and Crown Hotel), and the Los Angeles Airport.

We want to expand this network so we could continue to offer the widest array of services and help the local economy gain strength and stability.
