About the organizer

Organized by
HireLAX

The HireLAX Program is sponsored by Los Angeles World Airports as a way to create employment opportunities for LAX Local Residents who are interested in starting construction careers. Over the next several years a huge portion of the construction workforce will be retiring, at the same time we are expecting massive growth in construction. This creates the challenge of not enough skilled workers for all of the work but also a great opportunity for anyone interested in construction.
