BACKGROUND
In July 1998, the City of Santa Clarita entered into a formal partnership with the Antelope
Valley Workforce Development Consortium to receive a Job Training Partnership Act Grant
from the County of Los Angeles.
The funding was used to establish a One -Stop Career Center in Santa Clarita. The One
Stop Career Center is co -located with the Santa Clarita Employment Development
Department Branch and has assisted residents in finding employment. In February 2002,
the Santa Clarita office became a certified employment agency according to the standards
of the Los Angeles County Workforce Investment Board. Along with certification, the
Santa Clarita office has earned the stature of being called a WorkSource California Center.
Since 1998, the City of Santa Clarita has been awarded a competitive grant from the
County of Los Angeles, via the Antelope Valley Workforce Development Consortium, for
federal employment and training funding. The City received $360,309 in the 1999-00
program year, $623,603 in the 2000-01 program year, and $493,560 for the 2001-02
program year. Staff continued to work with a local community collaborative to provide job
training and employment services.
