Work Sharing program:
Thinking about layoffs? Instead, cut hours and wages while we pay partial unemployment benefits with the Work Sharing program.
Avoid the cost of hiring and training new employees when your business or the economy improves. This program has less impact on your unemployment taxes than a full layoff, and it can positively affect employee morale and loyalty.

Playa Vista Job Opportunities and Business Services (PVJOBS)
OUR MISSION
PVJOBS is a nonprofit 501(c)3 public benefit corporation whose mission is to provide career-track employment opportunities for at-risk youth, adults and veterans in construction and related industries.
PVJOBS has a unique position within the Los Angeles construction arena. Our organization has served as an active participant in the implementation of local and targeted hiring goals established by Project Labor Agreements and Community Benefits Agreements on major public and private developments in Los Angeles. Through these efforts, we have created sustainable pathways into the middle-class for thousands of Los Angeles residents by providing opportunities for indentureship into registered apprenticeship programs in more than 20 construction trades.
OUR VISION
PVJOBS’ vision is to end community violence and poverty.
More than two decades of experience has taught us that coordinated services across multiple domains are required to affect social change. The PVJOBS model incorporates partnerships with more than 130 community based organizations, local, state and federal government, private developers, contractors and construction unions to help us realize our mission of placing at-risk youth, adults and veterans in construction related employment.
The impact of our efforts can be witnessed through a reduction in recidivism, increased employment rates, and pro-social behavior modifications that collectively redefine our community as a whole. In the words of our founding Executive Director Ernest Roberts, “Jobs stop bullets.” This has been the guiding principle that has carried our mission forward, resulting in more than 8,000 placements in career-track employment opportunities for some of Los Angeles’ most heavily barriered community members.
OUR HISTORY & PROGRESS
Playa Vista Job Opportunities and Business Services (PVJOBS) is a nonprofit corporation formed in 1998 to fulfill a Los Angeles City Council mandate to provide at-risk residents with construction job opportunities at the Playa Vista development site. Over the years, PVJOBS has become a national leader for job programs serving at-risk individuals. Today, PVJOBS maintains contracts with numerous development projects throughout greater Los Angeles. More than 130 community-based organizations have partnered with PVJOBS to refer individuals to our program for employment preparation, pre-apprenticeship training and job placement.
PVJOBS provides participants with the technical and soft skills needed to succeed in today’s economy. With an emphasis placed on middle-class employment opportunities that provide health insurance benefits, pension plans and regular pay increases, PVJOBS secures most employment opportunities from local construction projects that are union affiliated. The Los Angeles/Orange Counties Building Trades Council and the Southwest Regional Council of Carpenters work with PVJOBS in this effort.
Because paying union initiation fees, construction tools and clothing can be an employment barrier for some, PVJOBS makes supportive services available through our collaborative partnerships to help participants cover these costs.
Reinforcement of PVJOBS’ goal to provide career-track employment opportunities to its participants, we are committed to supplying a minimum of 3,000 hours of labor to each individual worker. This is accomplished by re-referring PVJOBS participants to similar trade positions once they have completed employment contracts or have been laid off. PVJOBS also encourages construction companies to retain PVJOBS workers by assigning them to their other projects.
PVJOBS has served nearly 20,000 Los Angeles residents over the past two decades and has placed more than 8,000 participants in career-track employment positions, all while maintaining less than a 20% recidivism rate, 70% employment rate, and 87% retention rate.
