Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti set a goal Tuesday to train thousands of workers for manufacturing jobs by 2022, as part of a race to improve manufacturing capabilities in such areas as the food and beverage, biotechnology and fashion industries.
He said he has launched a plan to re-train 3,000 workers and create 500 apprenticeship and pre-apprenticeship openings with the help of Goodwill of Southern California, UCLA’s Clean Energy Smart Manufacturing Innovation Institute and the USC Viterbi School of Engineering to carry out the plan.
