The Hub Cities Consortium helps residents in Southeast Los Angeles County find work through job training programs and resources. It serves the cities of Bell Gardens, Cudahy, Huntington Park, Maywood, and South Gate. The Consortium has a staff of 30 and a budget of $5 million. It offers classes in basic computer skills, literacy, and GED preparation. It also has a resource center where people can search for jobs online and get help with resumes. The Consortium works with both job seekers and employers to connect trained applicants with job openings. However, federal funding for the program has decreased in recent years due to budget cuts.
