●Prepare the Los Angeles region’s higher education pipeline for the
Future or Work set up regional conversations between business
and policy leaders to coordinate effectively around local workforce
needs while developing the fundamental components necessary
that can enhance a region’s workforce. Invest in the relevance of
California’s high skill job training so that it meets business needs
and continues to support an innovation-based economy. Long
term, let’s develop a sustainable pool of highly-skilled workers, and
strengthen the recent entrepreneurial growth around innovation,
which can act as a beacon attracting the best and the brightest
from around the globe.
●Leverage Community funds, pricing, value capture and State and
local Bonds to incentivize local development that promotes the
need for additional housing and improvements in the built
environment.

A trip to the nearest beach is
anywhere from 45 minutes to
almost two hours.
The costs for families are
prohibitive—time, money,
safety gear/equipment, and
social support are in minimal
supply.
Community and school
support can shift the outcome
of these gaps in access to the
