South Bay Business and Youth Community Forum

 

The first annual South Bay Workforce Investment Board/Youth Development Council Business and Youth Community Forum entitled “Growing Your Workforce, Building a Bridge to the Future”, took place Wednesday, March 21, 2001 in Redondo Beach at the Portofino Hotel and Yacht Club.  The well-attended event brought together stakeholders from South Bay area businesses, educators, and members of the community to set youth employment readiness and performance standards for the region.  Participation in this forum provided educators with a voice to the education and training community to define what youth should know and be able to do while earning and learning in jobs and internships in the public and private sector.  This community forum contributed to the vision of the Board and the Council to promote a community-wide effort toward youth education and training, which results in local youth becoming a major asset to South Bay communities.  Among the attendees were, City of Redondo Beach Council member, John Parsons, City of Inglewood Council member Sandra Delahoussaye-Bonds, City of Hermosa Beach Treasurer, John Workman and Pablo Catano representing Senator Edward Vincent.
