Meet Jason Carveo
Workforce Challenge:
In 2010, Jason Caraveo was a 20-year-old college student financially struggling to continue his education in a single parent household with three siblings. He turned to the South Bay One-Stop Center and got a paid internship in the City of Hawthorne Planning Department.
Workforce Solution:
As he gained experience, Jason gained other paid internships while he continued his education. Upon graduation in 2014, Jason accepted his first full-time position as a City of Rancho Palos Verdes City Planner. Within five years he became a City of Beverly Hills Assistant City Planner.

“All my accomplishments started with that paid internship through South Bay One-Stop. I tell everyone about how much the SBWIB helped me become the man I am today.”
