The Grand Partners with PVJOBS to

Mixed-use center The Grand nears its next construction milestone of
topping off in early March, and some of the workers responsible for this
progress have joined the team after receiving the unique opportunity
to explore a new career. The Grand has partnered with Los Angeles
non-profit organization PVJOBS, which has a mission to
provide at-risk individuals—including those who are
formerly incarcerated, single parents, welfare recipients
and homeless—with job opportunities that can lead to lasting
positive impacts on their lives and careers. A number of its
construction team members have become part of the project as a
result of this collaboration. Today, The Grand has exceeded its hiring commitment by employing
a team that consists of 40% local residents and 10% who are classified as at-risk. We are proud to support those in the LA community who experience some of the highest barriers to employment, and to help fulfill PVJOBS' goals of increasing employment rates among those who are most at-risk.
