This initiative seeks qualified organizations to serve as Sector Investment Coordinators who will play a crucial role in advancing sector-based strategies that drive economic growth and workforce development in our community.
The LA County Collaborative is seeking to obtain the services of up to five (5) consultants, known as Sector Investment Coordinators (SICs), to support the Los Angeles Jobs First Collaborative in the execution of the Catalyst grant awarded to the region.
