The Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO) LA County Veterans America’s Job Center of California (AJCC) is designed to provide personalized employment, education, training and support services to veterans. The LA County Veterans AJCC aims to empower veterans in their career development to help them transition to civilian life, and achieve their career goals. The LA County Veterans AJCC operates a model of “veterans serving veterans”, with all-veteran staff which allows the AJCC to connect on a personal and professional level with each veteran. Housed at the historic Bob Hope Patriotic Hall along with the LA County Department of Military and Veterans Affairs, the AJCC ensures veterans receive a wide variety of services and benefits to help them successfully participate in workforce development services, find living wage jobs, and ultimately reintegrate into civilian life. By providing veterans with the tools, resources, and support they need to succeed the center aims to bridge the gap between veterans' military experience and civilian employment, and helps veterans navigate the complexities of the job market. The center has successfully helped many veterans find meaningful employment and achieve their career goals and continues to be a valuable resource for the veteran community.
