We were thrilled to celebrate the incredible accomplishments of our Impactful Bites and Constructing Success Academy members during our SECTOR Program Completion Ceremony. The SECTOR program—supported by the LA County Justice, Care, and Opportunities Department and funded by the American Rescue Plan—empowers individuals impacted by the justice system with the tools and training to build a brighter future.
Cohorts successfully completed paid training, received career coaching from staff, participated in hands-on work experience, and gained in-demand credentials across the construction and hospitality industries. Constructing Success Academy cohorts earned the TradesFutures Apprenticeship Readiness Certificate, while Impactful Bites cohorts received the California Restaurant Association’s Work Ready ProStart Certificate and the American Hotel & Lodging Association’s Certified Guest Service Professional designation, marking a significant step toward long-term career opportunities.
We are incredibly proud of their commitment, resilience, and the work the cohorts put in to reach this milestone. The journey is just beginning, and we can not wait to see the impact they will make as they take the next steps toward meaningful employment and continued success.
