The Local Worker Hire Program (LWHP) provides opportunities for district residents to be hired as craft workers on BuildLACCD projects.  Furthermore, LWHP works with college and non-profit apprenticeship programs to match job opportunities with district residents interested in a career in construction.  Project placement is made through prime and sub-contractors via union dispatch or contractor sponsorship.

Through the Project Labor Agreement (PLA), BuildLACCD and its contractors are guaranteed the skilled labor necessary to execute its capital improvement program. The PLA contains a 35% local worker hiring goal.

10% of the work shall be performed by local workers that face barriers to work entry.  A Disadvantaged Local Worker may be an individual without a high school diploma, history of incarceration, previously homeless, a single parent, previously unemployed for more than 90 days or a veteran.

These elements of the PLA are the framework for the LWHP.
