Reliable Recruitment Assistance

Qualified, Skilled Applicants

 

All applicants referred by the Los Angeles Mission's UTI Career Development Department have completed hundreds of hours of hands-on vocational training to sharpen their skills and refine their employment direction. All graduates have been enrolled in the Urban Training Institute and have pursued studies in the Mission's Henry Salvatori Education Center or the Richard Riordan Education Center. Transcripts of all UTI courses are available.

UTI students prepare for employment by attending Job Readiness Seminars, learning valuable job search techniques, and utilizing our Resource Center to conduct their own job search.

Community Enhancement

 

When one of our UTI graduates enters the workforce and leaves the ranks of the unemployed, we thank God. A significant impact is made in our local communities and in the graduate's life.

By being a part of the workforce, our graduates become productive members of society. They become role models for their family, neighbors, and community.
