EWDD’s BusinessSource, WorkSource and YouthSource Centers continue to operate, with some centers offering limited, scheduled in-person appointments. Please contact your local center before visiting to allow staff to time to prepare and maintain social distancing according to public safety guidelines.

If you have been laid off, furloughed, or suffered reduced hours due to the pandemic, EWDD's Rapid Response Team is here to help you. They are providing virtual orientations to guide you through all available resources, including how to apply for Unemployment Insurance (UI) through CA EDD and health insurance.

The Economic & Workforce Development Department currently operates 16 WorkSource Centers and 3 satellite, or portal, centers located throughout Los Angeles. The centers act as your personal employment agency and our services are always FREE.

WorkSource Centers

We have thousands of employment postings in a variety of fields. Our qualified staff can help you develop a resume and guidance to find the job that is right for you. Each WorkSource Center has a Job Resource Area where you can use:

• telephones & fax services
• copiers, computers & printers
• search the internet & utilize online job boards
• post your resume online

If you seek a more satisfying career than your current path or a higher-paying track, WorkSource will put its resources to work for you. WorkSource Centers provide Job Training Programs and Career Building Services for high-demand, high-salary jobs in growing industries.

WorkSource Centers also offer translation services in a variety of languages commonly spoken within Los Angeles, as well as assistance with childcare or bus passes to those who qualify.
