ZipRecruiter Partners with City of L.A. to Help Unemployed Youth Get Jobs

With youth unemployment at a record high, ZipRecruiter and the City have launched a partnership to help thousands of young Angelenos get job training and find jobs.

Leading employment marketplace ZipRecruiter® (www.ziprecruiter.com) is partnering with Hire LA’s Youth, the City of Los Angeles’s signature youth employment program, to prepare youth for careers and help them navigate the job market. Under the partnership, each program participant will be paid to spend 10 hours on a specialized page, ZipRecruiter.com/HireLAYouth, creating a profile and applying for jobs after receiving online job search training.
